An EU summit experienced delays, and a planned press conference was canceled, according to reports from Politico and Euronews. The Visegrádi Négyek (Visegrád Group), alongside Italy and Greece, are seeking to postpone the expansion of the emissions trading system (ETS), which puts a price on carbon dioxide emissions. This disagreement regarding the ETS extension is a key factor contributing to the summit’s prolonged discussions. Consequently, an additional meeting has been scheduled for November to further address these issues. The Visegrád Group’s position is creating friction within the EU concerning climate policy. The delay impacts the timeline for implementing the revised ETS regulations. Negotiations are ongoing to reach a consensus among member states.
