ELP WEBINAR ON EU ETS IN ROAD TRANSPORT
On Tuesday, 25 January, the European Logistics Platform (ELP) is organising a webinar entitled “Putting a price on CO2 in Road Transport - what to expect from an EU ETS for Road Transport?”, focusing on the European Commission’s proposal for the creation of a new EU-ETS adjacent to the existing EU ETS system, which will put a price on emissions from the road transport sector. Policy makers and industry representatives will debate how the EU can shape the right regulatory framework to achieve the aims of the Fit for 55 Package.
The event will be hosted by Dr Peter Liese MEP, Rapporteur on the revision of the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS), who will set out the importance of the ETS strategy for road transport as well as the Rapporteur’s position. Ms Beatriz Yordi Aguirre, Director European & International Carbon Markets at the European Commission’s DG CLIMA will present the legislation's main elements. The industry perspective on the question what a separate EU emission trading system really means for road transport will be given by Johannes Küstner, Head of National Road Transport and Sustainability at DSLV and Raluca Marian, General Delegate EU Office at IRU. Sofie Defour will give some insight in the position of Transport & Environment.
In case you would like to join the debate, registration is still possible. You can also send an email to info@europeanlogisticsplatform.eu with your name and organisation.
