Recital 2
(2) The report from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council on the state of the European carbon market in 21027 identified the need for measures in order to tackle structural supply-demand imbalances. The impact assessment on the 2030 climate and energy policy framework8 indicates that this imbalance is expected to continue, and would not be sufficiently addressed by adapting the linear trajectory to a more stringent target within this framework. A change in the linear factor only changes gradually the cap. Accordingly, the surplus would also only gradually decline, such that the market would have to continue to operate for more than a decade with a surplus of around 2 billion allowances or more. In order to address this problem and to make the European Emission Trading System more resilient to imbalances, a market stability reserve should be established. To ensure regulatory certainty as regards auction supply in phase 3 and allow for some lead-time adjusting to the introduction of the design change, the market the market stability reserve has a quick and significant impact on the European Emission Trading System it should be established as of 2017. Without early estability reserve should be establisshment of the reserve, projections show that thed as of phase 4 starting inmount of surplus allowances would not fall below current levels until 20215. In order to preserve a maximum degree of predictability, clear rules should be set for placing allowances into the reserve and releasing them from the reserve. Where the conditions are met, beginning in 20217, allowances corresponding to 120% of the number of allowances in circulation in year x-21 should be put into the reserve. A corresponding number of allowances should be released from the reserve when the total number of allowances in circulation is lower than 4300 million. __________________ 7 COM(2012)652 final. 8 Insert reference.

Amendment 64 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 3 b (new)
(3b) The European Council Conclusions of 23 and 24 October 2014 on the 2030 Climate and Energy Policy Framework give clear guidance on the continuation of free allocations and carbon leakage provisions after 2020. It is important that the competitiveness of European industries at genuine risk of carbon leakage is protected. Proportionate measures should, therefore, be put in place in order to shelter such industries from any negative impact on their competitiveness. Such measures should reflect the carbon price prevailing at the time of their introduction in order to ensure their effectiveness and to respect environmental integrity. It is, therefore, important that the Commission review the functioning of Directive 2003/87/EC in this respect.
