(67a) In line with Regulation (EU) 2021/1119, highest priority should be given to direct emissions reductions, which will have to be complemented by increased CO2 removals in order to achieve climate neutrality. Therefore, a future revision of the EU ETS and of the overall EU climate policy framework should also analyse how negative emissions could be included in emissions trading, including a clear scope and strict criteria and safeguards to ensure that such removals are not merely offsetting necessary emissions reductions but are genuine and permanent.

Recital 67 b (new)
(67b) The success of the European carbon market is critical from a global perspective, as it will encourage more countries to introduce market driven carbon pricing. The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism will extend carbon pricing to imported products sold on the EU market, but the EU should at the same time engage in international cooperation for the introduction of carbon pricing mechanisms. The Commission should further analyse how linkages with other carbon markets could be established while ensuring the achievement of the EU´s own economy-wide climate target. The Commission should actively pursue the establishment of an international “Carbon club” for ensuring continuous exchange in good faith with the EU’s trade partners. Its objective should be to allow for the comparison and coordination of carbon pricing measures as well as non-carbon pricing measures with an impact on emission reduction. The Carbon club should also support the comparability of climate measures by ensuring the quality of climate monitoring, reporting and verification among its members. Membership of the club should be informal, open and on a voluntary basis for countries aiming at high climate ambition in line with the Paris Agreement.

Recital 67 c (new)
(67c) In addition to effective carbon pricing based on a well-function emission trading system, market transparency is of key importance for enabling swift and cost-efficient emissions reductions in all sectors of the economy. To allow consumers and all actors along the supply chain to make informed choices concerning the emission embedded in products, a European system for robust carbon footprint labelling of products should be developed.
