Is this a new ecocommune?! By 2030, Poland will pay huge sums of €189 billion for the FitFor55 package approved today by @Europarl_EN! Today we can “thank” not only the EP, but also the Polish opposition, who literally got their hands on it during the votes!
she wrote on Twitter Beata KempaPiS MEP, Politician of Solidarity Poland.
Award: We are having a historically bad day for Poland, for the whole EU
The above directives and regulations were also scored by the members of Solidarna Polska in the Sejm. We are having a historically bad day for Poland, for the whole EU – said Jacek Dekora. In December 2020 I said “veto or death”, unfortunately this death begins on April 18, 2023 – added Janusz Kowalski.
The European Parliament adopted the main directives and regulations from the “Fit for 55” package at first reading on Tuesday. by 2030 (compared to 1990) and climate neutrality by 2050. the reform of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and the new Boundary Carbon Mechanism (CBAM).

We are having a historically bad day for Poland, for the entire European Union
– emphasized Deputy Minister of Climate and Environment Jacek Dekora during Tuesday’s press conference in the Sejm.
The European Parliament has taken a decision that will cost us all enormous amounts of money
he said.
Deputy Agriculture Minister Janusz Kowalski stressed that this package was passed with the votes and support of the opposition: PO, PSL and the left. As he added, this will be a gigantic financial burden, costs falling on all Poles.
He recalled saying 858 days ago on December 11, 2020, “veto or dead.”
Unfortunately, this death begins on April 18, 2023
he assessed. According to the Solidarna Polska politician, “the lack of a veto 858 days ago means that the European Union we know today ends.”
According to Kowalski: “The European Union is today and in the years to come will be synonymous with poverty, poverty, energy, social and communicative exclusion, and it will be such an organism and bureaucratic team that will affect the interests of millions of Poles. . ”

EU leaders agree on the EU budget and recovery fund
On 10 December 2020, at the EU summit in Brussels, EU leaders reached an agreement on the EU budget and recovery fund, which are linked to a regulation linking the use of EU funds to respect for the rule of law. After Poland and Hungary threatened to veto the budget, the European Council adopted the previously negotiated conclusions setting out the criteria for applying the rule of law mechanism.
As part of the vote in the European Parliament, the reform of the emissions trading system was adopted, according to which the sectors already covered by the system must reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 62% by 2030. compared to the level in 2005. The reform also assumes the gradual withdrawal of free allowances in the years 2026–2034. In addition, there will be a separate ETS II system for fuels used in road transport and for heating buildings. According to the system, the EU will introduce levies on greenhouse gas emissions from these sectors in 2027 (or 2028 if energy prices are exceptionally high).
The EP also voted to include greenhouse gas emissions from the shipping sector in the ETS, and MEPs also agreed to review the aviation ETS. This paves the way for the abolition of free allowances in this sector in 2026.
Another adopted regulation concerns the provisions on the new EU mechanism for adjusting prices at borders taking into account CO2 emissions (CBAM). The new CBAM will cover raw materials such as iron, steel, cement, aluminum, fertilizer, electricity and hydrogen. Importers of these goods will have to pay the difference between the emission tax in the country of production and the price of emission allowances in the EU ETS. CBAM will be phased in from 2026 to 2034 as free ETS allowances are phased out.
Parliament also supported the creation of an EU Social Climate Fund in 2026. It aims to “ensure a just and socially inclusive climate transition” – read the communiqué published by the EP.
