Taraba refuses to implement the fossil fuel charging directive for households

Slovakia did not include charging for emissions from heating and road transport in the amendment to the Emissions Trading Act. According to the European Commission, it should have done so by September 25. The Minister of the Environment wants Brussels to change the directive.

Slovakia has twice missed the deadline for the implementation of the new version of the emissions trading directive – the first was January 31, 2023, the European Commission moved it to June 30, 2024 due to member states' inaction. In July, it sent a formal invitation to 26 member states, stating that they have two months to implement the directive into national law. (Irena Jenčová, more at euractiv.sk)
