Six nations are demanding the European Commission freeze free carbon permit allocations at previous levels to protect industrial competitiveness. The proposal seeks to counter an EU plan that would gradually reduce these permits through 2030 to meet climate targets. Investors are monitoring the dispute as it threatens to stall the bloc's primary mechanism for pricing industrial pollution.
