The Confederation of Swedish Enterprise supports the goal of the EU achieving net zero by 2050, and we actively contribute to discussions on how the EU can best achieve the tougher 2030 goal. The cornerstones of Sweden’s and EU-wide climate policy must be based on cost-effectiveness and policies that strengthen competitiveness and avoid carbon leakage. Furthermore, Swedish Enterprise has previously expressed strong support for the introduction of a national minimum tax on CO2 across the Union. However, the European Commission has chosen instead to proceed with a proposal for a new emissions trading system for heating buildings and for transport. This new system risks creating significant difficulties for Sweden, not least by adding another instrument to the wide range of instruments that already regulate the Swedish transport sector. Furthermore, we see a risk that costs are stacked on top of each other.´
