Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4 a (new)

(4a) In order to comply with Articles 4 and 14 of the Paris Agreement, the Union should make progressively stronger efforts and submit every five years a contribution reflecting its highest possible ambition. Accordingly, this Regulation includes a review clause to establish new targets for scaling up Union's commitments. To ensure that Union target adjustments are in line with the Paris Agreement's global stocktake mechanism, the review should be comprehensive taking into account the best available science.

(4b) In order to ensure a comprehensive retching up system in line with the Paris Agreement and taking into account the experience of the European Environmental Agency in promoting the incorporation of European environmental information into international monitoring programmes and providing comprehensive assessment of the state of the environment in Europe, the review clause should be based on a preparatory and independent report from the European Environmental Agency.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 9

(9) The approach of annually binding national limits taken in Decision No 406/2009/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council19 should be continued from 2021 to 2030, with the start of the trajectory calculation in 202017 on the average of the greenhouse gas emissions during 2016 to 2018 and the end of the trajectory being the 2030 limit for each Member State. An adjustment to the allocation in 2021 is provided for Member States with both a positive limit under Decision 406/2009/EC and increasing annual emission allocations between 2017 and 2020 determined pursuant to Decisions 2013/162/EU and 2013/634/EU, to reflect the capacity for increased emissions in those years. The European Council concluded that the availability and use of existing flexibility instruments within the non-ETS sectors should be significantly enhanced in order to ensure cost- effectiveness of the collective Union effort and convergence of emissions per capita by 2030. _________________ 19 Decision No 406/2009/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the effort of Member States to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions to meet the Community’s greenhouse gas emission reduction commitments up to 2020 (OJ L 140, 5.6.2009, p. 136).

Article 1 – paragraph 1 a (new)

This Regulation lays down binding annual greenhouse gas emission reduction by Member State to reduce Union greenhouse gas emissions referred to in Article 2 by at least 30% in 2030 compared to 2005. Member States shall continue reducing their greenhouse gas emissions covered by this Regulation beyond 2030, leading to a reduction of Union's emissions of 60% by 2040 compared to 2005 levels and 95% by 2050 compared to 2005 levels.

Article 7 a (new)

Article 7a Auctioning mechanism 1. From 2022 onwards, Member States shall make available 2% of their annual emission allocation for auctioning, through a central Union auctioning platform. By 31 December 2019 the Commission shall determine and publish the estimated amount of allowances to be auctioned. 2. Member States shall determine the use of revenues generated from the auctioning of allowances. The revenues generated from the auctioning of allowances referred to in paragraph 1 or the equivalent in financial value of these revenues, should be used for one or more of the following: (a) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, to adapt to the impacts of climate change; (b) to develop renewable energies ; (f) to encourage a shift to low-emission and public forms of transport; (g) to finance research and development in energy efficiency and clean technologies in the sectors covered by this Regulation; (i) to cover administrative expenses of the management of the Community scheme. 4. By 30 June 2018, the Commission shall review Regulation (EU) No 1031/2010 on timing, administration and other aspects of auctioning to ensure that auctioning under this Regulation is conducted in an open, transparent, harmonised and non- discriminatory manner through a central Union auctioning platform. To that end, the review shall be predictable, in particular as regards the timing and sequencing of auctions and the estimated volumes of allowances to be made available. Auctions shall be designed to ensure that: (a) Member States have full, fair and equitable access; (b) all participants have access to the same information at the same time and that participants do not undermine the operation of the auction; (c) the organisation and participation in auctions is cost-efficient and undue administrative costs are avoided; (d) access to allowances is granted for small emitters; (e) a minimum clearance price under which the auction shall be cancelled; and (d) the unsold allowances shall be made available for the next auction, but that after 2030, all unsold allowances shall be deleted.
