ETS should be delayed - Christie | New Zealand
Claims by businesses that the July 1 start to the emissions trading scheme could hinder a fragile economic recovery appear to have fallen on deaf ears.

Otago Chamber of Commerce chief executive John Christie said there was a "real lack of understanding by business" about the implications of the emissions trading scheme (ETS), and he believed its introduction should be delayed.

Mr Christie said the economy was too fragile to be lumbered with an estimated $255 million in extra costs from the ETS in the coming year, evident by surveys last week by his own chamber and the NZIER quarterly business opinion survey, which both described the recovery as fragile.
