Complementary Information
We have three employees working full time with EU climate and energy policy as part of the EU programme of CONCITO. Most national work for climate and other supplementary issues will include focus on the EU regulation. Therefore, it is very difficult to separate the national work with the international, EU focussed and national work.

Communication activities
We have giving input to the Danish position for the revision of the ETS, Energy Efficiency Directive, and Energy Performance of Buildings Directive. As well, we will be active on the discussion on the new 2040 climate target as well as the climate architecture.
We give input to the Danish position for the proposal for a regulation of certification of carbon removals
We will seek to have a fruitful dialogue with especially the relevant Danish and other MEP about the possible revision of the Emission Trading System, EED, The RED II and the EPBD – as we have done many times before.
We expect to have dialogue with the European Commission of the future common agricultural policy (CAP), possibly the expert input to modelling tools for EU analysis (PRIMES etc.), and the polluters-pay principle in agriculture.Other activities
