BRUSSELS (Reuters) - EU member states reached provisional agreement that carbon market reforms should begin on Jan. 1 2019 at closed-door talks on Wednesday, paving the way for a further round of negotiations next month, diplomats said.
Member states have been arguing for weeks over when a reform referred to as the Market Stability Reserve should be introduced to remove some of the surplus allowances that have depressed the EU Emissions Trading Scheme.
Poland had been leading a blocking minority opposed to making any changes before 2021, but the sources said that on Wednesday the Czech Republic had left that group to support a 2019 date.
