  "account": "The EU is set to intervene in its carbon emissions trading system to prevent price spikes for industry. Negotiators from EU states and the European Parliament have agreed to increase a reserve of emission certificates to up to 700 million, from a maximum of 400 million currently. The move aims to provide a buffer against market fluctuations and protect against an oversupply of certificates. The agreement must still be approved by the EU Parliament and Council before being formally adopted. A broader review of the emissions trading system is also underway.",
  "summary": "Emission certificates are supposed to help protect the climate - but the system must not become too expensive for industry, as the EU countries warned. It is to be adjusted.",
