Recital 3 b (new)
(3b) The European Council conclusions of 23 and 24 October 2014 on the 2030 Climate and Energy Policy Framework give clear guidance on the continuation of free allocations and carbon leakage provisions after 2020, stating that ‘the most efficient installations in the sectors at risk of losing international competitiveness should not face undue carbon costs leading to carbon leakage’ and that ‘future allocations will ensure better alignment with changing production levels in different sectors’ and ‘at the same time, incentives for industry to innovate will be fully preserved and administrative complexity will not be increased.’ In this connection it is of crucial importance that the Commission reviews the operation of Directive 2003/87/EC in these areas and if necessary steers it towards a harmonised framework for tackling carbon leakage after 2020.
