Amendment 68 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 5
(5) Article 191(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union requires that Union policy is based on the principle that the polluter should pay and, on this basis, Directive 2003/87/EC provides for a transition to full auctioning over time. Avoiding carbon and investment leakage is a justification to postpone full transition, and targeted free allocation of allowances to industry is justified in order to address genuine risks of increases in greenhouse gas emissions in third countries where industry is not subject to comparable carbon constraints as long as comparable climate policy measures are not undertaken by other major economies.

Amendment 96 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 7 a (new)
(7a) The purpose of the ETS is to lower emission of greenhouse gases through incentivizing sectors to limit emissions where physically possible. Incentives are created by imposition of costs related to emissions. In cases where further elimination of emissions is impossible, imposition of costs related thereto should be avoided.

Amendment 98 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 7 b (new)
(7b) Given that the purpose of ETS is to incentivise sectors to limit or eliminate emissions wherever possible, it is imperative that sectors and subsectors that cannot reduce emissions due to physical or chemical limitations, be protected from costs related to ETS. Therefore, sectors and sub-sectors where emissions result directly from physical or chemical process necessary to produce the product in question (process emissions), where level of emissions cannot be therefore further reduced in this process and there are no alternative production process resulting in lower emissions exists should receive 100% of free allowances.

Amendment 106 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 8
(8) In order to reflect technological progress in the sectors concerned and adjust them to the relevant period of allocation, provision should be made for the values of the benchmarks for free allocations to installations, determined on the basis of data from the years 2007-8, to be updated in line with observed average improvement. For reasons of predictability, this should be done through applying a factor that represents the best assessment of progress across sectors, which should then take into account robust, objective and verified data from installations so that sectors whose rate of improvement differs considerably from this factor have a benchmark value closer to their actual rate of improvement. Where the data shows a difference from factor reduction of more than 0.5% of the 2007-8 value higher or lower per year over the relevant period, the related benchmark value shall be adjusted by that percentage. To ensure a level playing field for the production of aromatics, hydrogen and syngas in refineries and chemical plants, the benchmark values for aromatics, hydrogen and syngas should continue to be aligned to the refineries benchmarks. No changes to benchmarks will be made for those sectors were further improvements are impossible due to their physical or chemical impossibility (process emissions).

Proposal for a directive
Recital 14
(14) The existing provisions which are in place for small installations below 50.000 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year to be excluded from the EU ETS allow the installations which are excluded to remain so, and it should be made possible for Member States to update their list of excluded installations and for Member States currently not making use of this option to do so at the beginning of each trading period.

Proposal for a directive
Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 9
(9) In Article 11a, paragraphs 8 and 9 are deleted. 8 is replaced by the following: Operators and aircraft operators may use the removal units in the Community scheme up to an amount corresponding to XX% of allowances to be auctioned during the period 2021-2030. Operators under Article 10c and Article 10a in low income Member States (GDP per capita below 60% of the EU average, references to GDP in 2013 in EUR at market prices) may use credits from projects issued pursuant to Article 24a and other projects administered by Member States that reduce greenhouse gas emissions not covered by the Community scheme. The amount of credits should be up to an amount corresponding to XX% of allowances to be auctioned by eligible Member States during the period 2021- 2030. Any such measures shall not result in the double-counting of emission reductions.

Directive 2003/87/EC
Article 27 – paragraph 1
(22a) In article 27, paragraph 1 is amended as follows: Following consultation with the operator, Member States may exclude from the Community scheme installations which have reported to the competent authority emissions of less than 50 000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent and, where they carry out combustion activities, have a rated thermal input below 35 MW, excluding emissions from biomass, in each of the three years preceding the notification under point (a), and which are subject to measures that will achieve an equivalent contribution to emission reductions, if the Member State concerned complies with the following conditions: (a) it notifies the Commission of each such installation, specifying the equivalent measures applying to that installation that will achieve an equivalent contribution to emission reductions that are in place, before the list of installations pursuant to Article 11(1) has to be submitted and at the latest when this list is submitted to the Commission; (b) it confirms that monitoring arrangements are in place to assess whether any installation emits 50 000 tonnes or more of carbon dioxide equivalent, excluding emissions from biomass, in any one calendar year. Member States may allow simplified monitoring, reporting and verification measures for installations with average annual verified emissions between 2008 and 2010 which are below 5 000 tonnes a year, in accordance with Article 14; (c) it confirms that if any installation emits 50 000 tonnes or more of carbon dioxide equivalent, excluding emissions from biomass, in any one calendar year or the measures applying to that installation that will achieve an equivalent contribution to emission reductions are no longer in place, the installation will be reintroduced into the Community scheme; (d) it publishes the information referred to in points (a), (b) and (c) for public comment.
