(5) In order to implement those commitments as well as the Union’s contributions under the Paris Agreement33 adopted under the UNFCCC, the Union regulatory framework to achieve the greenhouse gas emission reduction target should be adapted. Nevertheless, it is necessary to take into account the negative economic and social effects that the achievement of these commitments could lead to, such as the loss of jobs, the increase of energy costs and prices, and corrective measures are necessary in order to avoid energy and transport poverty. __________________ 33 Paris Agreement (OJ L 282, 19.10.2016, p. 4).

(7) While emissions trading will also apply to greenhouse gas emissions from road and maritime transport as well as buildings,Since the environmental externalities of road transport are already regulated by the "Eurovignette" directive and the road sector is included in the scope of this Regulation (EU) 2018/842 will be maintained. Regulation (EU) 2018/842 will therefore continue applying to the greenhouse gas emissions from domestic navigation, but not to those from international navig, it should not be included as well in the EU ETS Directive. Nevertheless, in case emissions trading also applies to greenhouse gas emissions from road and maritime transport as well as buildings, the scope of Regulation (EU) 2018/842 should be adapted in order to avoid possible over-regulation. Greenhouse gas emissions of a Member State within the scope of Regulation (EU) 2018/842 to be taken into account for compliance checks will continue to be determined upon completion of inventory reviews in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and the Council34 . __________________ 34Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action, amending Regulations (EC) No 663/2009 and (EC) No 715/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Directives 94/22/EC, 98/70/EC, 2009/31/EC, 2009/73/EC, 2010/31/EU, 2012/27/EU and 2013/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Directives 2009/119/EC and (EU) 2015/652 and repealing Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 328, 21.12.2018, p. 1).

(9) In its conclusions of 11 December 2020 the European Council mentioned that the 2030 target will be delivered collectively by the Union in the most cost- effective manner possible, that all Member States will participate in this effort, taking into account considerations of fairness and solidarity, while leaving no one behind, and that the new 2030 target needs to be achieved in a way that preserves the Union’s competitiveness and takes account of Member States’ different starting points and specific national circumstances and emission reduction potential, including those of island Member States and islands, as well as efforts made. Therefore, the achievement of climate targets cannot be detrimental to the Union's economy and Member States should be provided with adequate flexibility in order safeguard the Union's competitiveness and social standards.
