EU member states didn’t reach qualified majority on mandate to start talks about draft measure to help boost carbon prices with the European Parliament yesterday, according to two people familiar with the matter. Several member states remain undecided or against. / EP approved amended version of carbon-permit backloading proposal in July and measure needs approval by member states to become binding. As a results we do not expect any further rise of baselaoad electricity prices on potential CO2 permit prices in the short-term and consider CEZ shares as fairly-valued at the moment.
