Recital 1
(1) The Commission has, in its Communication of 11 December 2019 entitled ‘The European Green Deal’19 , set out a newn unrealistic growth strategy that aims to transform the Union into an alleged fair and prosperous society, with a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy, where there are no net emissions of greenhouse gases in 2050 and where economic growth is decoupled from resource use. It also aims to protect, conserve and enhance the Union's natural capital, and protect the health and well-being of citizens from environment- related risks and impacts. At the same time, this transition must be just and inclusive, leaving no one behind by sacrificing entire branches of industry and thus global competitiveness without a proper impact assessment. _________________ 19 Commission Communication - The European Green Deal, COM(2019) 640 final of 11 December 2019.

(2) The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Special Report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways20 provides a strong scientific basis for tackling climate change and illustrates the need to step up climate action. It confirms that greenhouse gas emissions need to be urgently reduced, and that climate change needs to be limited to 1.5 °C, in particular to reduce the likelihood of extreme weather events. The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services’ (IPBES) 2019 Global Assessment Report21 showed worldwide erosion of biodiversity, with climate change as the third most important driver of biodiversity loss.22 _________________ 20IPCC, 2018: Global Warming of 1.5°C.

(17) The Commission, in its Communication ‘The European Green Deal’, announced its intention to assess and make proposals for increasing the Union’s greenhouse gas emission reduction target for 2030 to ensure its consistency with the climate-neutrality objective for 2050. In that Communication, the Commission underlined that all Union policies should contribute to the climate-neutrality objective and that all sectors should play their part. By September 2020, the Commission should, based on a comprehensive impact assessment and taking into account its analysis of the integrated national energy and climate plans submitted to the Commission in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council36 , review the Union’s 2030 target for climate and explore options for a new 2030 target of 50 to 55 % emission reductions compared with 1990 levels. Where it considers necessary to amend the Union’s 2030 target, it should make proposals to the European Parliament and to the Council to amend this Regulation as appropriate. In addition, the Commission should, by 30 June 2021, assess how the Union legislation implementing that target would need to be amended in order to achieve emission reductions of 50 to 55 % compared to 1990. _________________ 36 Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action, amending Regulations (EC) No 663/2009 and (EC) No 715/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Directives 94/22/EC, 98/70/EC, 2009/31/EC, 2009/73/EC, 2010/31/EU, 2012/27/EU and 2013/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Directives 2009/119/EC and (EU) 2015/652 and repealing Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 328, 21.12.2018, p. 1).deleted

(21) In order to provide predictability and confidence for all economic actors, including businesses, workers, investors and consumers, to ensure that the transition towards climate neutrality is irreversible, to ensure gradual reduction over time and to assist in the assessment of the consistency of measures and progress with the climate-neutrality objective, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission to set out a trajectory for achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions in the Union by 2050. It is of particular importance that the Commission carries out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level, and that those consultations be conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making37 . In particular, to ensure equal participation in the preparation of delegated acts, the European Parliament and the Council receive all documents at the same time as Member States' experts, and their experts systematically have access to meetings of Commission expert groups dealing with the preparation of delegated acts. _________________ 37 OJ L 123, 12.5.2016, p. 1.deleted

(22) In line with the Commission’s commitment to the principles on Better Law-Making, coherence of the Union instruments as regards greenhouse gas emissions reductions should be sought. The system of measuring the progress towards the achievement of the climate- neutrality objective as well as the consistency of measures taken with that objective should build upon and be consistent with the governance framework laid down in Regulation (EU) 2018/1999. In particular, the system of reporting on a regular basis and the sequencing of the Commission’s assessment and actions on the basis of the reporting should be aligned to the requirements to submit information and provide reports by Member States laid down in Regulation (EU) 2018/1999. Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 should therefore be amended in order to include the climate-neutrality objective in the relevant provisions.deleted

Proposal for a regulation
Article 2 – paragraph 1
1. Union-wide emissions and removals of greenhouse gases regulated in Union law shall be balanced at the latest by 2050, thus reducing emissions to net zero by that date. The policies of the EU Member States and the EU institutions have for some time now been focused merely on the highest conceivable reduction of greenhouse gases within the framework of a "climate policy" that can be described as essentially ideological, which shall primarily be achieved through economic intervention in the free market economy and a policy of prohibition. The focus is shifting more and more towards spectacular reduction targets that can neither be scientifically substantiated nor take into account the economic premises necessary for protective measures of any kind. Environmental protection is only possible in a free society that provides the technical innovative power and the necessary economic performance to make this feasible. More and more often, not even ecological considerations are given the necessary space; for example, when the environmental damage caused by the mining of resources for batteries to pursue renewable energy production, which up to now has been promoted by politics, is shifted to non-European countries. It is therefore essential, not only in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic which is putting an unprecedented pressure on our economy, that the EU institutions and their Member States review, question and, where necessary, adapt all existing policies. This includes in particular the EU regulations mentioned above, namely Directive 2003/87/EC (greenhouse gas emission allowance trading), Regulation(EU) 2018/842 (national targets for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions), Regulation (EU) 2018/841(compensation of greenhouse gases) and Regulation (EU)2018/1999 (governance system for the Energy Union and climate protection), but also, downstream, Directive 2012/27/EU (energy efficiency), Directive (EU)2018/2001 (use of renewable energies) and Directive 2010/31/EU (building efficiency) and, if necessary, other EU regulations. Adaptation to ongoing natural climate change, the causes of which must be further researched by independent scientists, must be at the heart of future policy.

1.

At the latest within six months after each global stocktake referred to in Article 14 of the Paris Agreement, the Commission shall review the trajectoryIrrespective of the policy field, it must be understood that any inappropriate request by an EU institution to usurp competences beyond those laid down in the Treaties must be rejected in the strongest terms. Specifically, this includes the Commission's request that it be given the power to impose decisions of a fundamental nature by means of delegated legislation, to which Parliament and the Council would only have a right of objection retrospectively. Such a request from an executive authority that is largely made up of unelected officials and therefore lacks sufficient democratic legitimacy is unacceptable, whatever the subject matter. Rather, decisions of a fundamental nature, such as the setting of possible emission reduction targets for 2030 or beyond, are the sole responsibility of the EU Member States and thus at EU level of the European Council.
