Amendment 56 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13
(13) A Social Climate (‘the Fund’) should therefore be established to provide funds to the Member States to support their policies to address the social impacts of the emissions trading for buildings and road transport on vulnerable households, vulnerable SMEs, micro-enterprises and on vulnerable transport users. This should be achieved notably through temporary income support and measures and investments intended to reduce reliance on fossil fuels through increased energy efficiency of buildings, decarbonisation of heating and cooling of buildings, including the integration and storage of energy from renewable sources, and granting improved access to zero- and low-emission mobility and transport to the benefit of vulnerable households, vulnerable SMEs, micro- enterprises and vulnerable transport users.

Amendment 79 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 16
(16) Ensuring that the measures and investments are particularly targeted towards energy poor or vulnerable households, vulnerable SMEs, micro- enterprises and vulnerable transport users is key for a just transition towards climate neutrality. Support measures to promote reductions in greenhouse gas emissions should help Member States to address the social impacts arising from the emissions trading for the sectors of buildings and road transport.

Amendment 86 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 17
(17) Pending the impact of those investments on reducing costs and emissions, well targeted direct income support in exceptional duly justified cases for the most vulnerable would help the just transition. Such support should be understood to be a temporary measure accompanying the decarbonisation of the housing and transport sectors. It would not be permanent as it does not address the root causes of energy and transport poverty. Such support should only concern direct impacts of the inclusion of building and road transport into the scope of Directive 2003/87/EC, not electricity or heating costs related to the inclusion of power and heat production in the scope of that Directive. Eligibility for such direct income support should be limited in time.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 21
(21) The Fund and the Plans should be coherent with and framed by the reforms planned and the commitments made by the Member States under their updated integrated national energy and climate plans in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2018/1999, under Directive [yyyy/nnn] of the European Parliament and the Council [Proposal for recast of Directive 2012/27/EU on energy efficiency]36 , the European Pillar of Social Rights Action Plan37 , the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+) established by Regulation (EU) 2021/1057 of the European Parliament and of the Council38 , the Just Transition Plans pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2021/1056 of the European Parliament and of the Council39 and the Member States long-term buildings renovation strategies pursuant to Directive 2010/31/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council40 . To ensure administrative efficiency while not adding any extra administrative burden, where applicable, the information included in the Plans should be consistent with the legislation and plans listed above. _________________ 36 [Add ref] 37Endorsed by the European Council on 24 and 25 June 2021. 38Regulation (EU) 2021/1057 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 June 2021 establishing the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+) and repealing Regulation (EU) No 1296/2013 (OJ L 231, 30.6.2021, p. 21). 39Regulation (EU) 2021/1056 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 June 2021 establishing the Just Transition Fund (OJ L 231, 30.6.2021, p. 1). 40Directive 2010/31/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 May 2010 on the energy performance of buildings (OJ L 153, 18.6.2010, p. 13).

Amendment 100 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 22
(22) The Union should support Member States with financial means along with technical support to implement their Plans through the Social Climate Fund. Payments from the Social Climate Fund should be made conditional on achievement of the milestones and targets included in the Plans. This would allow efficiently taking into account national circumstances and priorities while simplifying financing and facilitating its integration with other national spending programmes while guaranteeing the impact and the integrity of EU spending.

Amendment 124 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 1 – paragraph 3
The measures and investments supported by the Fund shall benefit households, vulnerable SMEs and micro-enterprises and transport users, which are vulnerable and particularly affected by the inclusion of greenhouse gas emissions from buildings and road transport into the scope of Directive 2003/87/EC, especially households in energy poverty and citizens without public transport alternative to individual cars (in remote and rural areas).

Amendment 132 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 1 – paragraph 4
The general objective of the Fund is to contribute to the green and digital twin transition towards climate neutrality by addressing the social impacts of the inclusion of greenhouse gas emissions from buildings and road transport into the scope of Directive 2003/87/EC. The specific objective of the Fund is to support vulnerable households, vulnerable SMEs and micro-enterprises and vulnerable transport users through temporary direct income support and through measures and investments intended to increase energy efficiency of buildings, using sustainable construction materials, decarbonisation of heating and cooling of buildings, including the integration and storage of energy from renewable sources, and granting improved access to zero- and low-emission mobility and transport.

Proposal for a regulation
Article 4 – paragraph 2
2. The Plans shall be consistent with the information included and the commitments made by the Member States under the European Pillar of Social Rights Action Plan and the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+) established by Regulation (EU) 2021/1057, under their cohesion policy operational programmes under Regulation (EU) 2021/105855 , under their Recovery and Resilience Plans in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2021/241 of the European Parliament and of the Council56 , under their long-term buildings renovation strategies pursuant to Directive 2010/31/EU and under their updated integrated national energy and climate plans under Regulation (EU) 2018/1999. They shall also be complementary to the Just Transition Plans pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2021/1056 of the European Parliament and of the Council57 and therefore all these financial instruments shall increase the synergy of the measures while preventing and avoiding any possibility of double funding. _________________ 55Regulation (EU) 2021/1058 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 June 2021 on the European Regional Development Fund and on the Cohesion Fund (OJ L 231, 30.6.2021, p. 60). 56Regulation (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). 57Regulation (EU) 2021/1056 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 June 2021 establishing the Just Transition Fund (OJ L 231, 30.6.2021, p. 1).
