DESCRIPTION:Some see it as a climate policy panacea\, others as just the ri
 ght recipe for trade conflicts with partners across the globe: The Europea
 n Union is working out plans to put a price on imported goods depending on
  the greenhouse gas emissions produced along their value chain and on poss
 ible carbon prices paid already. Governments across the globe have voiced 
 concern that such a “carbon border tax” could violate international trade 
 rules and effectively keep their countries’ products from making it to EU 
 markets. The European Commission aims to present its proposal by mid-2021.
  Little is known about details of the plans\, but sectors such as cement a
 nd steel are said to be the first areas of action. Do major suppliers like
  Turkey\, Ukraine\, Russia and China have to step up ambition to produce t
 hese products in an increasingly climate-friendly way to ensure future acc
 ess to European consumers? And what about developing countries\, which hav
 e suffered under market entry barriers in the past? Will their access be r
 estricted until they put up the necessary investments to make goods more c
 limate-friendly?In our web event for journalists\, experts will offer thei
 r views on the status of EU plans and take a closer look at what they coul
 d mean for key EU trade partners.
