Amendment 220 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 2

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 3
(3) The goal of a resilient Energy Union with an ambitious climate policy at its core is to give Union 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, combining both legislative and non-legislative acts at Union and, national and local level.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 5
(5) The European Council agreed on 24 October 2014 on the 2030 Framework for Energy and Climate for the Union based on four key targets: at least 40% cut in economy wide greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions, at least 27% improvement in energy efficiency with a view to a level of 30%, at least 27% for the share of renewable energy consumed in the Union, and at least 15% for electricity interconnection. It specified that the target for renewable energy is binding at Union level and that it will be fulfilled through Member States’ contributions guided by the need to deliver collectively the Union target.deleted

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13
(13) The transition to a low-carbonhighly energy- efficient, low energy needs, and fully renewables-based economy requires changes in investment behaviour and incentives across the entire policy spectrum. Achieving greenhouse gas emission reductions requires a boost to efficiency and innovation in the European economy and in particular should also lead to improvements of air quality.

Amendment 330 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 16
(16) In line with the Commission's strong commitment to Better Regulation, the 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-carbonhighly energy efficient, low energy needs, and fully renewables based economy.

Committee: ENVIITRE
Amendment 334 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 17
(17) The achievement of the Energy Union targets and objectives should be ensured through a combination 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, as well as the maritime realm, 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, where appropriate, be streamlined and integrated.

Committee: ENVIITRE
Amendment 345 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 18
(18) The integrated national energy and climate plans should cover ten-year periods and provide an overview of the current energy system and policy situation. They should set out national targets and objectives for each of the five key dimensions of the Energy Union and corresponding policies and measures to meet those objectives and have an analytical basis. The national plans covering the first period from 2021 to 2030 should pay particular attention to the 2030set out 2030 national binding targets for greenhouse gas emission reductions, renewable energy, energy efficiency and electricity interconnection. Member States should aim to ensure that the national plans are consistent with and contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 20
(20) The implementation of policies and measurIn order to enhance acceptance and ownership by relevant stakeholders and citizens of national climate and energy objectives, priorities and related plans and strategies, in the areas of the energy and climate has an impact on the environment. Member Statecluding integrated national energy and climate plans and long-term energy and climate strategies, each Member State should establish a permanent multi-level Energy and Climate Dialogue Platform. Such national platforms would also contribute to improving the implementation of integrated national energy and climate plans and long-term energy and climate strategies. Multi-level Climate and Energy Dialogue Platforms should gatherefore ensure that the public is given early and effective opportunities to participate in and to be consulted on local authorities, civil society organisations, business community, investors, any other relevant stakeholders to discuss the different options envisaged for energy and climate policies. Integrated national energy and climate plans as well as long- term climate and energy strategies should be discussed within the framework of this platform. The EU is committed to promoting gender equality and ensuring gender mainstreaming in all of its actions, therefore Member States should fully take into account theis preparinciple in the definition and implementation of their integrated national energy and climate plans in accordance, where applicable, with the provisions of Directive 2001/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council24 and and their long-term climate and energy strategies. The implementation of policies and measures in the areas of the energy and climate has an impact on the environment. To ensure legitimacy and facilitate the achievement of the Energy Union goals, Member States have to ensure appropriate involvement of stakeholders from early stages of the planning and reporting processes. Member States should therefore ensure that the public is given early and effective opportunities to actively participate in the preparation of the integrated national energy and climate plans, the long-term energy and climate strategies and the relevant reports when all options are open, in accordance with the provisions of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe ("UNECE") Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters of 25 June 1998 (the "Aarhus convention"). Member States should also ensure involvement of social partners in the preparation of the integrated national energy and climate plans. __________________ 24Directive 2001/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 June 2001 on the assessment of the effects of certain plans and programmes on the environment (OJ L 197, 21.7.2001, p.30).

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 23
(23) Stable long-term low emission strategies are crucial to contribute towards economic transformation, jobs, growth and the achievement of broader sustainable development goals, as well as to move in a fair and cost-effective manner towards the long-term goal set by the Paris Agreement. Furthermore, Parties to the Paris Agreement are invited to communicate, by 2020, their mid- century, long-term low greenhouse gas emission development strategies.deleted

Amendment 389 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 23 a (new)
(23a) Member States should develop long term climate and energy strategies for 2050 and beyond identifying the necessary transformations in different sectors that are necessary to shift to a highly energy efficient, with low energy needs, and fully renewables-based energy system and achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. The strategies should be consistent with the Union fair share of remaining global carbon budget and should be developed in an open and transparent manner and with the full involvement of relevant stakeholders. The integrated national energy and climate plans should be based on the long term climate and energy strategies and consistent with them
