  "account": "The EU Commission wants to link free CO2 certificates in the European Emissions Trading System (ETS) to an investment obligation. The plan is being revised, with MEP Peter Liese suggesting that only a portion of the certificates be subject to this obligation. The Commission's proposal, announced on July 17, aims to revise the ETS to ease pressure on industries, such as the chemical industry, that claim their competitiveness is at risk. Liese proposes that only additional certificates issued from 2031 be subject to the investment obligation.",
