Taxation mechanisms for reducing CO2 emissions

přijatá stanoviska on 15/07/2020
Odkaz: 
ECO/512-EESC-2020
Rapporteur: 
Krister ANDERSSON (Employers - GR I / Sweden)

The EESC believes that there are well-founded reasons to establish uniform rules within the EU to combat global warming and based on these to embark on international discussions with other trading blocs. Furthermore, the Committee deems that, in the future, it could be useful and necessary to also devise new taxation measures that can supplement the current emissions trading system  and national carbon taxes in order to achieve an effective and symmetrical policy framework to tackle the increasing amount of CO2 emissions.

Financing the Transition to a Low-Carbon Economy and the Challenges in Financing Climate Change Adaptation (Exploratory opinion at the request of the Croatian presidency)

Dimitris DIMITRIADIS (Employers - GR I/Greece)

The transition to a low-carbon economy is the EU's goal and obligation and the EU committed itself to implement this transition in a socially just and cost-effective manner. It is thus important to examine all the feasible ways of financing climate neutrality, and possibly find new and innovative financing models in the near future.

NAT/765-EESC-2019
Rapporteur: 
Peter SCHMIDT (Workers - GR II / Germany)

The EESC is currently drafting an opinion that aims to define what "the sustainable economy we need" should look like by exploring new economic models, investment decisions vis-à-vis technological advances as well as novel indicators for growth and competitiveness.

Taxation/private investment and the Sustainable Development Goals - cooperation with the UN Committee of Experts on International Cooperation in Tax Matters (own-initiative opinion)

přijatá stanoviska on 11/12/2019
Odkaz: 
ECO/494-EESC-2019
Rapporteur: 
Krister ANDERSSON (Employers - GR I / Sweden)

Taxation policies are fundamental for the SDGs as they determine the economic environment in which investment, employment, and innovation take place while providing the government with revenues for financing public spending. Businesses are global drivers of productivity, inclusive economic growth, job creation, investment and innovation. Private sector expertise holds the keys to unlocking many of the challenges linked to sustainable development. Tax bases should be as broad as possible allowing tax rates to be as non-distortive as possible.

Strategy for long-term EU greenhouse gas emissions reduction (Communication)

SC/51-EESC-2018-SC/051- Strategy for long-term EU greenhouse gas emissions reduction
Referral: 
COM(2018) 773 final
Rapporteur: 
Pierre Jean COULON (Workers - GR II / France)
Co-rapporteur: 
Stefan BACK (Sweden)

Just a few days ahead of last December's climate summit COP24 in Poland, the European Commission published its long-term strategy "A clean planet for all" presenting its vision for achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 through a socially-fair transition in a cost-efficient manner. While the document does not contain any new policy proposals, it provides the direction of travel of EU climate and energy policy and frames what the EU considers as its long-term contribution to achieving the Paris Agreement temperature objectives in line with UN Sustainable Development Goals.

European Philanthropy: an untapped potential (Exploratory opinion at the request of the Romanian Presidency)

přijatá stanoviska on 15/05/2019
Odkaz: 
SOC/611-EESC-2018
Rapporteur: 
Petru Sorin DANDEA (Workers - GR II / Romania)

The objective of the opinion, requested by the Romanian Presidency, is to explore which measures and initiatives should be taken at EU and national level in order to promote organised philanthropy and eliminate barriers within the internal market that are hindering the realisation of its full potential, so as to maximize its contribution to EU values, such as cohesion, social justice and European Policies, and to the competitiveness of the European economy.
The opinion is expected to feed into the Romanian presidency programme and into the political priorities for the new Commission.
