A few thoughts on Commission proposal to auction MSR volumes:
1/ it’s approx. revenue neutral, or even negative
2/ it could therefore be a measure to control prices
2/ however, it’s not a done deal
3/ and, if approved, future discretionary uses should be limited
#OCTT #EUETS 1/ Would reduce revenues for existing auctions sufficiently to make it revenue neutral. If the true price impact is ~14/t (2x Wednesday’s price move, assuming 50% probability priced in), then at an estimated 1800-2000Mt of auctions over 2023-26 this is worth 25-28 bn EUR. #OCTT
