BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Parliament's industry committee on Thursday narrowly voted in favor of starting reforms to boost the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) by 2021, in line with a proposal from the executive European Commission.
In a close vote, they rejected an amendment to begin reforms by an earlier date of 2017 and narrowly backed a 2021 start.
The committee vote is only one stage of a process that needs to be followed by an environment committee vote and then approval of the full parliament and member states.
