The European Union's (EU) plans to phase out fossil fuel subsidies and increase its emissions reduction target are facing resistance from various quarters. Airlines have voiced their opposition to the Dutch plan to eliminate EU fossil fuel subsidies, and EU member states are divided over setting a hard limit for these subsidies. Additionally, Poland, Hungary, and Italy have objected to raising the bloc's emissions reduction target. The EU's aspiration for self-sufficiency in mining raw materials for green technology is also meeting stiff opposition. Amid these challenges, the EU has made progress in electricity market reform. In the airline industry, United Airlines is implementing a new boarding process, which could be an industry trendsetter. The EU's carbon pricing rules are being contested, and Germany's power grid purchase is facing political roadblocks. Changes in airlines' rewards programs are also stirring competition in the industry. European airlines are engaging in deal drives to boost profits and open up routes, while London’s Heathrow Airport is ordered to cut airline charges. The cost of Netherlands' grid expansion for wind farms is also on the rise.
