The new text introduces greater flexibility regarding the 2040 climate targets: <strong>the emissions cap will be reduced more gradually, with a linear reduction rate of 3.7 per cent between 2031 and 2035 and 1.7 per cent between 2036 and 2040<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The ETS system is already delivering \u201cconcrete results,\u201d the MEPs continued. \u201cThe reform of the <a href=\"https:\/\/climate.ec.europa.eu\/areas-action\/carbon-markets\/eu-emissions-trading-system-eu-ets\/market-stability-reserve_en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Market Stability Reserve<\/a>, an <strong>indispensable tool for keeping allowance prices in check at peak times and managing crisis periods<\/strong>, was approved in a first vote by Parliament in September and now requires a swift agreement.
