Energy Committee rejects proposal to halt ETS2 implementation
MPs Maren Grøthe and Trygve Slagsvold Vedum introduced a proposal to stop Norway's implementation of the EU's new emissions trading system (ETS2). The Standing Committee on Energy and the Environment recommends rejecting it. Members from the Conservative Party, the Green Party, and the Liberal Party argue that the rules have already been incorporated into Norwegian law and that the EEA agreement's significance for Norway means the country must maintain its commitments.
