BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Britain will be excluded from the European Union’s Emissions Trading System (ETS) and all other legislation to help limit the impact of climate change, if it leaves the bloc in March 2019 without a deal, the EU executive said on Tuesday.

 

In order to safeguard the cap-and-trade system, the European Commission said it may temporarily suspend permit auctions and free allocation linked to the UK market.

 

The measures are part of the bloc’s contingency measures to minimize the worst disruption in key areas in case of a no-deal Brexit.

 

It said the quantities of fluorinated greenhouse gases, used in air conditioning and in domestic, supermarket and industrial refrigeration, emitted in Britain should no longer be factored into the allocation of 2019 annual quotas.

 

“As the date of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal is approaching, it is now necessary to move forward with preparations for all possible outcomes,” the Commission said, calling on EU bodies to work swiftly to implement such plans if needed.

Lidington’s promise was aimed at quelling unrest within Prime Minister Theresa May’s party that could further undermine her authority in parliament as Brexit negotiations enter the crucial final phase.

…

Nick Thomas-Symonds, a lawmaker on Labour’s legal team, said the government’s concession did not go far enough and amounted to providing an “edited highlights” of the legal advice.

 

“We need to see the full consideration of the different arguments provided by the Attorney General and the House should be able to consider every sentence and every nuance,” he said.

Sauce from twatter - RE trail of DHS taking control of State election infrastructure, etc.:

 

Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) John Kelly recently affirmed his support for an Obama-era policy which designated the state election apparatus as “critical infrastructure” and thus in some vague sense, under federal control. In 2017, then Secretary Jeh Johnson clarified and otherwise defended the federal government’s position that “by “election infrastructure,” we mean storage facilities, polling places, and centralized vote tabulations locations used to support the election process…”

 

This language has drawn the ire of state officials in the fear that this directive is essentially unbounded and could be used to control local elections even in the absence of terrorism or actual cyber-security threats.
