Recital 3
(3) The goal of a resilient Energy Union with an ambitious climate policy at its core is to give UnioEuropean consumers, both households and businesses, secure, sustainable, competitive and affordable energy, which requires a fundamental transformation of Europe's energy system. That objective can only be achieved through coordinated action, combininga combination of both legislative and non-legislative acts at Union and national levelcoordinated among the Member States.

(12) Therefore, the main objective of the Energy Union Governance should be to enable the achievement of the objectives of the Energy Union and in particular the targets of the 2030 Framework for Climate and Energy. This Regulation is therefore linked to sectorial legislation implementing the 2030 targets for energy and climate. While Member States need complete flexibility to choose policies that are best- matched to their national energy mix and preferences, that flexibility ishould be compatible with further market integration, increased competition, the attainment of climate and energy objectives and the gradual shift, which is compatible with growth, towards a low-carbon energy economy.
Amendment 314 #

Recital 13
Recital 13
(13) The transition to a low-carbonenergy economy requires changes in investment behaviour and incentives across the entire policy spectrum. Achieving greenhouse gas emissionfuel import reductions requires a boost to efficiency and innovation in the European economy and in particular should also lead to improvements of air quality and an increase in Member States’ independence and resilience.
Amendment 321 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 14
Recital 14
(14) As greenhouse gases and air pollutants largely derive from common sources, policy designed to reduce GHGsenergy efficiency policy can have co-benefits for air quality that could offset some or all of the near-term costs of GHG mitigation. As data reported under Directive 2001/81/EC18 of the European Parliament and the Council represent an important input for the compilation of the GHG inventory and the national plans, the importance of compilation and reporting of consistent data between Directive 2001/81/EC and the GHG inventory should be recognised. __________________ 18Directive 2001/81/EC of the European Parliament and the Council on National Emission Ceilings for certain pollutants (OJ L 309, 27.11.2001, p. 22).
Amendment 325 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 16
Recital 16
(16) In line with the Commission's strong commitment to Better Regulation, tThe Energy Union Governance should result in a significant reduction of administrative burden for the Member States, the Commission and other Union Institutions and it should help to ensure coherence and adequacy of policies and measures at Union and national level with regard to the transformation of the energy system towards a low-carbonenergy economy.
Amendment 338 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 17
Recital 17
(17) The achievement of the Energy Union objectives should be ensured through a combthe coordination of Union initiatives and coherent national policies set out in integrated national energy and climate plans. Sectorial Union legislation in the energy and climate fields sets out planning requirements, which have been useful tools to drive change at the national level. Their introduction at different moments in time has led to overlaps and insufficient consideration of synergies and interactions between policy areas. Current separate planning, reporting and monitoring in the climate and energy fields should therefore as far as possible be streamlined and integrated.
Amendment 352 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 19
Recital 19
(19) A mandatoryn optional template for the national plans should be established to ensureso that all national plans arcan be sufficiently comprehensive and to facilitate comparison and aggregation of national plans, while at the same time ensuring sufficient flexibility to Member States to set out the details of national plans reflecting national preferences and specificities.
Amendment 366 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 21
Recital 21
(21) Regional cooperation is key to ensure an effective achievement of the objectives of the Energy Union. Member States should get the opportunity to comment on other Member States' plans before they are finalised to avoid inconsistencies and potential negative impacts on other Member States and ensure that common objectives are met collectively. Regional cooperation in elaborating and finalising national plans as well as in the subsequent implementation of national plans should be essential to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of measures and foster market integration and energy security.
Amendment 403 #

Recital 26
Recital 26
(26) Under the UNFCCC, the Union and its Member States are required to develop, regularly update, publish and report to the Conference of the Parties national inventories of anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of all greenhouse gases using comparable methodologies agreed by the Conference of the Parties. The GHG inventories are key to enabling the tracking of progress with the implementation of the decarbonisation dimension and for assessing compliance with the legislation in the field of climate, in particular Regulation [OP: act number XXX on binding annual greenhouse gas emission reductions by Member States from 2021 to 2030 for a resilient Energy Union and to meet commitments under the Paris Agreement and amending Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 of the European Parliament and the Council on a mechanism for monitoring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions and other information relevant to climate change]25 ("Regulation [ ] [ESR]") and Regulation [OP: act number XXX on the inclusion of greenhouse gas emissions and removals from land use, land use change and forestry into the 2030 climate and energy framework and amending Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 of the European Parliament and the Council on a mechanism for monitoring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions and other information relevant to climate change] ("Regulation [ ] [LULUCF]")26. __________________ 25 26OJ L […], […], p.

(30) In order to limit administrative burden on the Member States, and the Commission, the latter online reporting platform should be establish an online reporting platformed to facilitate communication and promote cooperation. That should ensure timely submission of reports and facilitate improved transparency on national reporting. The e- reporting platform should complement, build on and benefit from existing reporting processes, databases and e-tools, such as those of the European Environment Agency, Eurostat, the Joint Research Centre and the lessons learned from the Union's Eco-Management and Audit Scheme.
Amendment 409 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 32
Recital 32
(32) In view of the collective achievement of the objectives of the Energy Union Strategy, it will be essential for the Commission to assesspublish national plans and, based on progress reports, their implementation. For the first ten-year period, this concerns in particular the achievement of the Union-level 2030 targets for energy and climate and national contributions to those targets. Such assessment should be undertaken on a biennial basis, and on an annual basis only where necessary, and should be consolidated in the Commission's State of the Energy Union reports and to suggest to the Member States how they should be coordinated.
Amendment 416 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 33
Recital 33
(33) Aviation has impacts on the global climate as a result of the release of CO2 as well as of other emissions, including nitrogen oxides emissions, and mechanisms, such as cirrus cloud enhancement. In the light of the rapidly developing scientific understanding of those impacts, an updated assessment of the non-CO2 impacts of aviation on the global climate is already foreseen in Regulation (EU) No 525/2013. The modelling used in this respect should be adapted to scientific progress. Based on its assessments of such impacts, the Commission could consider relevant policy options for addressing them.
Amendment 421 #

Recital 34
Recital 34
(34) To help ensure coherence between national and Union policies and objectives of the Energy UnionMember State policies, there should be an on-going dialogue between the Commission and the Member States. As appropriate, the Commissionuncil should issue recommendations to Member States including on the level of ambition of the draft national plans, on the subsequent implementation of policies and measures of the notified national plans, and on other national policies and measures of relevance for the implementation of the Energy Union. Member States should take utmost account of such recommendations and explain in subsequent progress reports how they have been implemented.
Amendment 437 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 35
Recital 35
(35) Should the ambition of integrated national energy and climate plans or their updates be insufficient for the collective achievement of the Energy Union objectives and, for the first period, in particular the 2030 targets for renewable energy and energy efficiency, the Commissionuncil should take measures at Union level in order to ensure the collective achievement of these objectives and targets (thereby closing any 'ambition gap'). Should progress made by the Union towards these objectives and targets be insufficient for their delivery, the Commission should, in addition to issuing recommendations, take measures at Union level or Member States should take additional measures in order to ensure achievement of these objectives and targets (thereby closing any 'delivery gap'). Such measures should take into account early ambitious contributions made by Member States to the 2030 targets for renewable energy and energy efficiency when sharing the effort for collective target achievement. In the area of renewable energy, such measures can also include financial contributions by Member States to a financing platform managed by the Commission, which would be used to contribute to renewable energy projects across the Union. Member States' national renewable energy targets for 2020 should serve as baseline shares of renewable energy from 2021 onwards. In the area of energy efficiency, additional measures can in particular aim at improving the energy efficiency of products, buildings and transport.
Amendment 442 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 36
