Thursday 4 June @ 13:00–15:00

On Thursday, Tobiasz Bocheński (ECR), together with the Warsaw Enterprise Institute, will host a high-level policy roundtable at the European Parliament on the future of the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS).

The discussion will mark the presentation of a new report assessing the economic impact of ETS and ETS2 on European economies, as well as possible reform scenarios and alternative policy approaches.

Opening remarks will be delivered by Tobiasz Bocheński (MEP) and Sebastian Stodolak, Vice President of the Warsaw Enterprise Institute. Marek Lachowicz, economist at the Warsaw Enterprise Institute, will present the report’s key findings, including a quantified assessment of the costs associated with ETS and ETS2, their implications for competitiveness and energy affordability, and an analysis of complementary mechanisms and policy alternatives.

The roundtable will bring together representatives from the European Commission, legislators, economists, media, and the business community for an open exchange of views on the future of EU climate policy. Participants will also hear a keynote contribution from Samuel Furfari, former senior official at the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Energy and former professor of energy policy at the Free University of Brussels (ULB).

Against the backdrop of evolving geopolitical and economic conditions, the discussion aims to examine whether the current ETS framework remains fit for purpose, and how climate policy can better balance environmental objectives with industrial competitiveness, affordable energy, and long-term economic growth.
