Yesterday ETS and CBAM approved: two acronyms that mean “Poverty” for the European citizen – What Campomenosi says
Yesterday, to the delight of environmentalists, two regulations were approved for the famous “Fit for 55”, that is, two tools of the strategy, or rather “Strateggia” for its superficiality, which should lead to neutrality in CO2 emissions. The regulations are:
- ETS, the carbon emissions trading system, for a fee, which will be required for ALL commercial activities. An MORE TAX to be paid for all those who carry out productive activities;
- CBAM, the complex and expensive system of “Carbon duties”, which will affect all imports based on the presumed impacts on greenhouse gas emissions, to try to realign the costs of imports with those of internal production.
As you can well guess both systems, wanted by A STRONG parliamentary MAJORITY (PPE, i.e. Forza Italia, S&D, i.e. the PD, RE, i.e. Calenda and Verdi, i.e. M5S) will lead to a sharp increase in the cost of living for all. citizens of the EU, with a significant drop in the standard of living. What costs 10 today, tomorrow will cost 12. Thanks to these European standards, we will all be poorer, except the super-rich, who will be able to consume as they wish. This is the duty paid to Greta's demagoguery.
Someone understood it, as you can see from this Twitter Thread by Marco Campomenosi.
Who knows if in a few years, when the knots of these rules come to a head, someone will go and see who, in that June 2022, voted against certain things … https://t.co/59BjB99Mw3

Without technological neutrality and immediately available zero-impact alternatives, #ETS , in fact, will impose itself as a tax on production: the #EU has decided to ignore all alternative proposals and takes us straight to an ecological transition that will have a strong impact social.

Dependence on #China will greatly increase and decrease the competitiveness of our production system compared to the rest of the world which has, in fact, chosen to take different paths.

and it will not be easy to change these stupid and harmful rules
Someone might ask me: but Campomenosi, come on, in case we will change these rules!
Here, that of the irremediable immutability of the decisions taken in #UE is another huge problem.

In my long experience in various ways in #Brussels (since 2005) I can say that these institutions have an enormous difficulty in modifying the paths they have taken (for example with the stability pact, trade policies or the "Chinese" drift on freedom of expression)
