The Irish presidency has come up with a proposal that would be financially more beneficial for us (compared to the European Commission's proposal, which assumes that countries pay 30% of their ETS revenues immediately - editor's note), but we are still not at the point where we would like to be regarding the ETS as a resource – conveyed Deputy Minister for European Affairs Ignacy Niemczycki to RMF FM journalist. #budżetUE #Polska #ETS (translated)

Poland expresses dissatisfaction with the proposal by the Irish presidency regarding the gradual introduction of the ETS burden aimed at mitigating the impact on less developed countries, as it continues to argue that revenues from this source should not constitute new income for the Union budget. #budżetUE #Polska #ETS (translated)

Maarten van den Berg wrote that the share of households unable to heat their homes properly had increased, according to him, from 3% in 2020 to almost one in ten in 2024. He stated that the gas price had risen again and referred to a warm home as a basic right. According to him, cold and damp could cause mold, lung complaints, and heart problems, leading to healthcare costs. Van den Berg also noted that the tax component of the gas price was nowhere in the EU as high as in the Netherlands, where it accounted for more than half, according to him. From January 1, 2028, the EU levy ETS-2 would be added, he wrote. He wondered if people in the Netherlands would also take to the streets, like in France. #energietarieven #klimaat #sociaalrecht (translated)

Henri Vanhanen wrote that Donald Trump's Russia policy may not have been guided by a coherent strategy. According to him, Trump made decisions one by one, seeking quick political gains, and then had to fix the consequences. In his assessment, Vanhanen linked Trump's diminished commitment to arming Ukraine, the energy price increases resulting from the war in Iran, and the recent diesel trade with Russia. He believed that trade could bolster the Russian economy and give Vladimir Putin a means to pressure Ukraine into halting strikes on Russia's oil refineries. Vanhanen also criticized Trump for condemning strikes that he claimed weakened Russia's war economy. Vanhanen noted that Trump’s administration had not sought significant new funding from Congress for arming Ukraine. According to him, previously agreed deliveries had continued, and European countries had purchased American weapons for Ukraine. He stated that Trump was not fundamentally on the side of Ukraine or Europe but was primarily pursuing his own interests. According to Vanhanen, Finland's security should not be built on the assumption that there is a plan behind Trump's decisions that would turn in favor of Europe. He urged preparedness for the possibility that U.S. aid could be delayed or smaller than expected, to strengthen the availability of defense equipment and air defense, and to deepen cooperation with Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Britain, Poland, and the Baltic countries. He also believed that Europe should be able to support Ukraine and maintain economic pressure on Russia by its own means. #Trump #Venäjä #Ukraina (translated)
