EU Lets Industries Buy Foreign Carbon Credits | Europe News

from Europe News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now

The EU just handed industries a major loophole: starting in 2036, companies can buy carbon credits from outside the bloc to offset their emissions — a move critics say weakens climate goals and lets polluters keep pumping CO₂ while costs drop. Green MEP Michael Bloss and Carbon Market Watch’s Wijnand Stoefs are furious, calling it a betrayal of climate ambition. With this loophole lasting at least ten years, the long-term environmental impact remains uncertain — and this decision will be a defining test of Europe’s ability to balance industry and climate.
