Ambassadors will discuss controversial plans for new EU taxes again on Tuesday
A levy on carbon emissions and a tax on e-waste have emerged as frontrunners in the quest to agree on new EU-wide taxes, designed to help fund the bloc’s future seven-year budget.
The European Commission’s proposed levy on revenues from the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) has attracted the broadest support among member countries, according to a diplomatic note seen by Euractiv.
A charge linked to non-recycled electronic waste has also won broad backing.
Agreement on new EU taxes is increasingly being treated as a crucial building block for securing a deal on the entirety of the EU’s next seven-year budget, or MFF.
