Sweden’s government formation is one to watch closely. Andersson just said she sees no path to forming a government, despite the left-of-centre 176 to 173 seats. For EU climate politics, the key question may be less left vs right than how much influence the Sweden Democrats gain over the next gov.

Poland joined 5 EU Member States calling on Ireland to impose a windfall tax on energy companies using the Iran conflict to raise fuel prices. According to @transportenvironment.org, just 8 major oil companies made €7.5bn in excess profits in H1-2026. www.transportenvironment.org/articles/how...

German car exports to China have fallen by ~200,000 vehicles, as Chinese car imports collapsed by half from well over one million annually. Meanwhile, German imports of Chinese cars and machinery have surged. Those developments are not part of this exercise. 9/

Reactions to Kiels paper on China Shock 2.0. It's a thoughtful contribution that rightly argues EU trade defence doesn't solve competition in third markets. But contrary to some commentary, I don't think it shows German concerns about Chinese competition are wholly overblown. In-depth thread. 1/

Why are some of Europe's biggest steelmakers pushing to weaken the #EUETS? Since 2020, ArcelorMittal, thyssenkrupp & voestalpine have relined coal based blast furnaces representing 26 Mt of annual capacity—locking in coal-based production for another 15–20 years.

Belgium has issued an orange alert, with temperatures of up to 37 degrees expected. France is bracing for up to 43C. The U.K. and Wales warns of more than 37C and up to 40C. Spain expects 40C. Parts of Germany and Italy could also see 40C. And it’s not even July yet. No, this is not normal.

CBAM: COM is sticking to facts. Fertiliser prices are driven by gas, not CBAM! FR & IT pushing exemptions is pure demagogy. Good for DE/NL/DK/PO to stand firm. As Hansen put it, suspending CBAM “risks worsening dependency on imports”, but revenues can be used for farmers. www.rte.ie/news/europe/...

No suspension of EU carbon taxes as fertiliser costs rise
The European Commission has stopped short of recommending a suspension of EU carbon taxes on imported fertilisers as a way to counter the soaring cost due to the Iran war.

Great article about ETS-2.Marginal abatement costs in heating & transport (>€1k/t for heat pumps, e-cars) mean allowance prices could reach €80–300/t.Frontloading, MSR, price triggers & delay clause are vital for a soft start but revenues must absolutely fund schemes (eg social leasing, retrofits).
