The EU’s Court of Justice dismissed seven challenges brought by Poland against measures in the bloc’s Fit for 55 climate package. The judgments, delivered on 12 November, leave the challenged measures in place.
The cases covered measures including vehicle emissions standards, emissions allowances for buildings and road transport, the carbon border adjustment mechanism and energy efficiency. Poland argued that the measures required unanimous approval by the Council of the European Union because they were fiscal in nature or affected the structure of its energy supply.
The court looked at the purpose and substance of each measure. It ruled that all seven could be adopted through the ordinary legislative process, in which the European Parliament and Council decide together and the Council votes by qualified majority.
