(138a) In order to meet international commitments and Union targets, it is crucial to make a comprehensive move towards a low-carbon economy. There is an immediate need, therefore, to renew the allocation criteria of different Union funds in order to foster the decarbonisation and energy-efficiency measures in different sectors and guarantee that those funds will not be allocated to projects which do not comply with CO2 reduction targets or policies of the Union. The Commission should carry out a comprehensive, cross-sectorial study of the impact of funding granted from the Union budget or otherwise pursuant to Union law on the mitigation of climate change. The Commission should present to the European Parliament and the Council a report of the findings of that study which should be accompanied, if appropriate, by legislative proposals aimed at discontinuing any Union funding which is not compatible with the CO2 reduction targets or policies of the Union. This should include the proposal of a mandatory ex-ante climate compatibility check which applies to every new Union investment from 2020 and the obligation to make the results public in a transparent and accessible way.
