We need an overall change of approach to the adoption of legislation. After all, its purpose is supposed to be to unify 27 national regulations into a universal set of rules, but due to the flexibility left to the Member States, gold plating and differences in national implementations, and many other reasons, the complexity of legislation is increasing. Viktor Daněk, deputy director of the EUROPEUM Institute, commented for Hospodářské noviny.

According to world agencies, the European Parliament and the EU-27 are close to reaching a preliminary agreement on the so-called carbon tariff. The instrument, known as CBAM, is intended to prevent companies that produce in the European Union and have to pay for emission allowances there from being disadvantaged against companies from non-EU countries where climate regulations are looser. According to experts, the mechanism will mainly affect Russian companies. Our researcher Kateřina Davidová also commented on this issue.
