  "account": "The European Union and the United Kingdom are set to link their carbon markets in a major post-Brexit deal, according to a draft document seen by Euronews. This agreement, scheduled to be announced at the EU-UK summit in Brussels on November 20th, would allow carbon allowances from the EU and UK Emissions Trading Systems (ETS) to be mutually recognized. The deal aims to spare manufacturers from potential carbon border charges and could reduce the administrative burden of trading between the two markets. However, British MP David Tufnell argues that the link could lead to rising carbon costs for UK industries and push carbon prices towards EU levels. Critics also point out the differences in sectoral coverage between the EU and UK carbon markets, particularly in transportation and buildings. Despite these challenges, linking the carbon markets would create a larger carbon market and simplify emissions permit trading for companies.",
  "summary": "The agreement to link EU and UK carbon markets, expected to be announced at the 20 November summit, could spare manufacturers additional carbon border charges, but critics warn that closer alignment could drive up costs for British industry.",
