Italian unions and industry associations are speaking out against the European Union's proposed revision of the Emission Trading System (Ets). The paper industry, which is energy-intensive, is particularly concerned that the changes could lead to a loss of competitiveness and jobs.

They are requesting that the reduction of benchmarks be frozen at 2025 levels and that indirect CO2 costs be compensated.
