Recital 3
(3) The introduction of EU emissions trading for the buildings and road transport sectors, as set out in Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council2, may give rise to short term social impacts. To address this challenge, Regulation (EU) [XXX] final of the European Parliament and of the Council established3 a Social Climate Fund, to be financed by the general budget of the Union under the multiannual financial framework. The ceiling for commitment appropriations of heading 3, ‘Natural Resources and Environment’, and the ceiling for payment appropriations should therefore be adapted for the years 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027. In the event of a higher carbon price above EUR 48/tonne3a , an additional allocation should be made available for the Social Climate Fund on an annual basis commensurately with the increase of the carbon price, in order to further support vulnerable households and users of transport in the transition towards climate neutrality. Such annual reinforcements should be accommodated within the MFF by means of an automatic carbon price fluctuation adjustment of the ceiling for commitment appropriations of heading 3, ‘Natural Resources and Environment’, and the ceiling for payment appropriations. ____________________ 2 Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a system for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Union and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC (OJ L 275, 25.10.2003, p. 32). 3 OJ […], […], p.

Amendment 6 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 1 – paragraph 2 a (new)
Article 1 – paragraph 2 a (new)
(2a) the following Article 4b is inserted: ‘Article 4b Specific annual adjustment based on carbon price fluctuation 1. Starting in 2025, an annual upward adjustment to the expenditure ceiling for the commitment appropriations of heading 3 and to the ceiling for payment appropriations for the current year shall be made in the event that the average carbon price calculated in year n- 1 is higher than 48 EUR/tonne based on the average price. 2. The annual upward adjustment referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article shall be equivalent to the amount calculated by multiplying the annual allocation deriving from the financial envelope set out in Article 9 of Regulation (EU) [XXX] of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a Social Climate Fund by the percentage by which the average carbon price calculated in year n-1 exceeded 48 EUR/tonne.’
