The new EU plans to reduce CO2 emissions. The proposals are not favorable for Polish – Dziennik.pl

The proposal, which will present European Commission , is the result of arrangements summit Climate and Energy in October 2014. At which EU leaders agreed on targets for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions for 2030 years.

While in the case of sectors covered by the EU trading system uprawieniami emissions (ETS), the Heads of State and Government “28″ fairly accurately determined that the load falling on the country, in the case of non-ETS sectors adopted only the general provisions relating to the EU. The Commission proposal, whose main objectives met PAP talks about the distribution of targets for individual EU countries.

The task was not easy, and work on burden-sharing between Member States lasted for months. During the climate summit in 2014. Leaders could not reach an agreement, as a result of the conclusions is stated that each of the EU countries will reduce emissions from sectors of the non-ETS, namely construction, agriculture and transport, realizing national goals of between zero to minus 40 percent. compared to 2005. In other words, none of the EU countries can not increase emissions, a maximum reduction will be 40 percent.

European Commission worked on the assignment to each of the EU countries, the appropriate number, so that across the EU to reduce emissions by the sectors not covered by the ETS amounted to a total of 30 percent.

According to PAP with sources close to the European Commission for the Polish goal for 2030. is expected to be minus seven percent. In other words, our country until the end of the next decade will have to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in construction, waste management, agriculture and transport 7 per cent. compared to 2005. If on Wednesday, this number is confirmed, it will be for the Polish negative. In the current term until 2020. We can increase the emissions from non-ETS by 14 percent. In the next ten-year could not be out of the question, but representatives of our government pushing for it, so we assigned zero growth.

Any reduction is because high costs. Poland as a country on the achievements would rather increase emissions in non-ETS sectors rather than restrict it. It is difficult to reduce emissions resulting eg. From heating buildings, while building more and more, and the Polish wanting to chase the West in terms of the available size of the property to a person in housing will have to build.

The situation is similar in transport, which is also far that to us to have as many cars per household, which, for example. Germany. In agriculture, in turn, to an increase in emissions will contribute to increase the number of cattle. If our farms will grew, this can not be avoided.

The emissions included in the non-ETS in Poland is similar to the emissions covered by the EU trading system uprawieniami emissions (ETS) . The EC has set a path to the target for 2030., Showing year-on-year, if the decrease emissions. The starting point for such a trajectory is to be the average of the years 2016-2018. For Polish this will mean that we will be able to compete with the more favorable ceiling (since 2020 can increase emissions), but the closer to 2030., The more we will have to make the effort reduction.

According to sources, the PAP, the Commission did not accept the postulate of our country concerning forest management in an effort to limit the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Poland wanted the absorption of CO2 by forests was included in the ETS, so we would have more emission permits.

“These proposals are far from perfect,” – said the PAP anonymity Polish diplomat Brussels . He announced, however, that our country will strive for their change during negotiations at the level of Member States. Modification of the target reduction for 2030., Which is crucial in this proposal will be very difficult, because any reduction of the burden for the Polish would mean that they would have to be taken over by other EU countries.
