BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Commission will in 2022 follow this year's bumper package of climate law with further proposals, including tighter air pollution limits and a system of carbon removal certificates, a draft policy plan seen by Reuters showed.

As the European Union strives to cut net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 from 1990 levels, the bloc this year began an overhaul of its climate change legislation with measures such as a proposed levy on polluting imports and a phaseout of new combustion engine cars.
