Recital -1 (new)
(-1) It is unfortunate that to date the Commission has failed to produce a comprehensive overall impact assessment for the entire "Fit for 55" package, elaborating on its cumulative and combined effects. This is problematic since the overall impact of the package on social costs and their distribution, competitiveness, jobs, carbon and business leakage remains unclear. The absence of such an overall assessment also prevents a clear view of the synergies and interdependencies between the various proposals of the "Fit for 55" package. Moreover, the "Fit for 55"package should also be aligned with more recent climate-related proposals.

Recital 2 a (new)
(2a) The transformation of the Union’s energy system towards renewable energy is not possible by means of domestic sources alone. A broad-based strategy for the importation of renewable electricity, renewable hydrogen and low-carbon energy from as many naturally suitable regions as possible is necessary, also to reduce fossil dependencies.
