On 10 February 2022, from 13:45 to 15:45, the FISC Subcommittee will meet for a presentation of the recently published review 01/2022 on “Energy taxation, carbon pricing and energy subsidies”.
The European Court of Auditors (ECA) has published its review 01/2022 “Energy taxation, carbon pricing and energy subsidies” on 31 January 2022. The review assesses how energy taxes, carbon pricing and energy subsidies contribute to achieving the EU’s climate objectives. Moreover, it examines the challenges faced by policy-makers, such as ensuring consistent energy taxation across sectors and energy carriers, reducing fossil-fuel subsidies, and reconciling climate objectives with social needs.
The review will be presented by ECA Member Mr Viorel Ştefan, who has led the work on the review. The review and the press release in 24 EU languages can be consulted following the link below.
