European Union governments are set to meet twice next month for talks about a change to the carbon law that would pave the way for a measure curbing oversupply of emission permits, according to an EU presidency official.

Representatives of national governments are due to meet in Brussels on Sept. 7 and Sept. 17 in a working group to prepare ground for a decision by ministers on an amendment to the carbon law that would clarify the right of the EU’s regulatory arm to delay some auctions of permits as of 2013, said the official, who declined to be identified, citing policy.
