New Czech Minister of Industry and Trade Karel Havlicek has announced his government’s categorical rejection of the European Union’s upcoming emissions trading system, known as ETS2. This mechanism, scheduled for 2028, is set to apply to the building and road transport sectors as part of the EU’s Green Deal. The Czech government considers the measure will impose a disproportionate financial burden on households and businesses.
