(1) Since the adoption of Regulation (EU) 2021/241 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing the Recovery and Resilience Facility,3 unprecedented geopolitical events, i.e. Russia's unprovoked and illegal military invasion of Ukraine, and their direct and indirect socio-economic consequences have considerably affected the Union’s society and economy. In particular, it has become clearer than ever that the Union’s energy security and independence from fossil fuels is indispensable for a successful, sustainable and inclusive recovery from the COVID-19 crisis, as it is also a major factor contributing to the resilience of the European economy. __________________ 3 Regulation (EU) 2021/241 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 February 2021 establishing the Recovery and Resilience Facility (OJ L 57, 18.2.2021, p. 17).

Recital 3
(3) The Versailles Declaration of 10-11 March 2022 of the Heads of States and Governments invited the Commission to propose by the end of May a REPowerEU plan to phase out the dependency on Russian fossil fuel imports, which was subsequently reiterated in the European Council Conclusions of 24-25 March 2022. This should be done well before 2030 in a way that is consistent with the EU’s Green Deal and the climate objectives for 2030 and 2050 as well as the Paris agreement- compatible greenhouse gas budget enshrined in the European Climate Law. Regulation (EU) 2021/241 should therefore be amended to enhance its ability to support reforms and investments dedicated to diversifying energy supplies, in particular by expanding renewable energy production and phasing out fossil fuels, thereby strengthening the strategic autonomy of the Union alongside an open economy. Support should also be given to reforms and investments increasing the energy efficiency of the Member States’ economies.

In this context, Decision (EU) 2015/1814 of the European Parliament and of the Council4 and Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council5 should be amended to extend the doubling of the 24% intake rate of the Market Stability Reserve until 2030, while allowing for an exceptional release andone-time monetisation of a portion ofthe EU Emission Trading System by auctioning a portion of auctioned and free allowances forom the Market Stability Reserve and directing revenuesse means, as well as revenues that would otherwise be used to increase the size of the Innovation Fund. The revenues shall be directed towards reforms and investments contributing to REPowerEU objectives, in the Recovery and Resilience Facility framework. __________________ 4 Decision (EU) 2015/1814 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 October 2015 concerning the establishment and operation of a market stability reserve for the Union greenhouse gas emission trading scheme and amending Directive 2003/87/EC, OJ L 264/1 5 Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC
