(1) Very high prices and volatility in electricity markets have been observed since September 2021. As set out by the European Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (‘ACER’) in its April 2022 assessment of EU wholesale electricity market design17, this is mainly a consequence of the high price of gasgas supply crisis, the high price of gas, the unreliability of nuclear power and low hydropower availability during summer, which is used as an input to generate electricity. _________________ 17 European Union Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators, ACER’s Final Assessment of the EU Wholesale Electricity Market Design, April 2022.

(2) The escalation of the Russian military aggression against Ukraine, a Contracting Party of the Energy Community, and related international sanctions since February 2022 have disrupted global energy markets, exacerbated the problem of high gas prices, and have had significant knock-on impacts on electricity prices. The Russianunjustified Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine has also caused uncertainty on the supply of other fossil energy commodities, such as hard coal and crude oil, used by power- generating installations. This has resulted in substantial additional increases in the volatility of price levels of electricity.

(7) The current electricity market design has also helped the emergence of new and innovative products, services and measures on retail electricity markets, supporting energy efficiency and renewable energy uptake and enhancing choice so as to help consumers reduce their energy bills also through small-scale generation installations and emerging services for providing demand response. Building on and seizing the potential of the digitalisation of the energy system, such as active participation by consumers, should be a key element of our future electricity markets and systems. At the same time, there is a need to respect consumer choices, shield household consumers from high prices, disconnections, manipulation and abuse and allow consumers to benefit from a variety of contract offers.

(14) It is therefore important for the intraday markets to adapt to the participation of variable renewable energy technologies such as solar and wind as well as to the participation of demand side response and storage. The liquidity of the intraday markets should be improved with the sharing of the order books between market operators within a bidding zone, also when the cross-zonal capacities are set to zero or after the gate closure time of the intraday market. Furthermore, the gate closure time of the intraday market should be set as closer as possible to the time of delivery to maximize the opportunities for market participants to trade shortages and surplus of electricity and contribute to better integrating variable renewables in the electricity system.

Recital 16
(16) To ensure the efficient integration of electricity generated from variable renewable energy sources and to reduce the need for fossil-fuel based electricity generation inand especially starting with times when there is high demand for electricity combined with low levels of electricity generation from variable renewable energy sources, it should be possible for transmission and distribution system operators to design a peak shaving product enabling demand response to contribute to decreasing peaks of consumption in the electricity system at specific hours of the day. The peak shaving product should contribute to maximize the integration of electricity produced from renewable sources into the system by shifting the electricity consumption to moments of the day with higher renewable electricity generation. As the peak shaving product aims to reduce and shift the electricity consumption, the scope of this product should be limited to demand side response. The procurement of the peak shaving product should take place in such a way that it does not overlap with the activation of balancing products which aim at maintaining the frequency of the electricity system stable. In order to verify volumes of activated demand reduction, the transmission and distribution system operator should use a baseline reflecting the expected electricity consumption without the activation of the peak shaving product. The introduction of peak shaving products is without prejudice to the legal obligation to open all markets to demand response on a non-discriminatory basis.

(17) In order to be able to actively participate in the electricity markets and to provide their flexibility, consumers are progressively equipped with smart metering systems. However, in a number of Member States the roll-out of smart metering systems is still slow. In those instances where smart metering systems are not yet installed and in instances where smart metering systems do not provide for the sufficient level of data granularity, transmission and distribution system operators, upon customer consent, should be able to use data from dedicated metering devices for the observability and settlement of flexibility services such as demand response and energy storage. Enabling the use of data from dedicated metering devices for observability and settlement should facilitate the active participation of the consumers in the market and the development of their demand response. The use of data from these dedicated metering devices should be accompanied by quality requirements relating to the data.

(22) Network tariffs should incentivise transmission and distribution system operators to use flexibility services through further developing innovative solutions to optimise the existing grid and to procure flexibility services, in particular demand response or storage under regulatory oversight. For this purpose, network tariffs should be designed so as to take into account grid services provided for or by active customers and the operational and capital expenditures of system operators or an efficient combination of both so that they can operate the electricity system cost-efficiently. This would further contribute to integrating renewables at the least cost for the electricity system and enable final customers to value their flexibility solutions.

(23) Offshore renewable energy sources, such as offshore wind, ocean energy and floating photovoltaic, will play an instrumental role in building a power system largely based on renewables and in ensuring climate neutrality by 2050. There are, however, substantial obstacles to their wider and efficient deployment preventing the massive scale up needed to achieve those objectives. Similar obstacles could arise for other offshore technologies in the future. These obstacles include investment risks associated with the unique topographical situation of offshore hybrid projects connected to more than one market. In order to reduce investment risk for these offshore project developers and to ensure that the projects in an offshore bidding zone have full market access to the surrounding markets, transmission system operators should guarantee access of the offshore project to the capacity of the respective hybrid interconnector for all market time units. If the available transmission capacities are reduced to the extent that the full amount of electricity generation that the offshore project would have otherwise been able to export cannot be delivered to the market, the transmission system operator or operators responsible for the need to limit the capacity should, in future, be enabled torequired to partly compensate the offshore project operator commensurately using excess congestion income. This compensation should only be related to the production capability available to the market, which may be weather dependent and excludes the outage and maintenance operations of the offshore project. The details, including the conditions under which the measure may expire, are intended to be defined in an implementing Regulation.

(29) Member States have at their disposal several instruments to support the development of PPA markets when designing and allocating public support. Allowing renewable energy project developers participating in a public support tender to reserve a share of the generation for sale through a PPA would contribute to nurture and grow PPA markets. In addition, as part of these tender evaluation Member States should endeavour to apply criteria to incentivise the access to the PPA market for actors that face entry barriers, such as small and mediummicro and small-sized enterprises (‘SMEs’),. giving preference to bidders presenting a commitment to sign a PPA for part of the project’s generation from one or several potential buyers that face difficulties to access the PPA market.

Recital 37
(37) The accelerated deployment of renewables necessitates a growing availability of flexibility solutions to ensure their integration to the grid and to enable the electricity system and grid to adjust to the variability of electricity generation and consumption across different time horizons. Regulatory authorities should periodically assess the need for flexibility in the electricity system based on the input of transmission and distribution system operators. The assessment of the flexibility needs of the electricity system should take into account all existing and planned investments (including existing assets that are not yet connected to the grid) on sources of flexibility such as flexible electricity generation, interconnectors, demand side response, energy storage or the production of renewable fuels, in view of the need to decarbonise the energy systemwith the objective of accelerating progress towards a renewables based power system by 2035. On this basis, Member States should define a national objective for non-fossil flexibility such as demand side response and storage which should also be reflect. This national objective should support Member States' pathway to a renewables based power system by 2035, and be included in their integrated national energy and climate plans.

(45) When suppliers’ do not ensure that their electricity portfolio is sufficiently hedged changes in wholesale electricity prices can leave them financially at risk and, result in their failure, passing on costs to consumers and other network users. Hence, it should be ensured that suppliers are appropriately hedged when offering fixed price contracts. An appropriate hedging strategy should take into account the suppliers' access to its own generation and its capitalisation as well as its exposure to changes in wholesale market prices. Regulatory supervision of hedging strategies should not trigger a shift of legal responsibility from suppliers to the supervising authority.

Impact on human health and the environment occurs via concentrations in ambient air . Although everyone is affected by those substances, certain groups are especially sensitive and vulnerable and more likely to experience adverse health effects, such as for example those with specific pre-existing health conditions (e.g. respiratory or cardiovascular diseases), pregnant women, newborns, children, elderly people, people living in poverty, people with disabilities or people with inadequate access to medical care.

Or. enJustification Ozone concentrations peak in certain parts of the year, especially in regions with high emissions from traffic and industry. In regions away from the equator, in the northern hemisphere, this period will typically be in the warm season (summer) within a single calendar year. Consequently, possible exceedances are likely to be recorded during that period.

Such roll-out should be rapid, as the IPCC1.5°C report1b warns that emissions must be reduced significantly this decade and that, if action is insufficient now, it will likely be impossible to make up for the deficit later. The deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure also plays a role in the achievement of the Union's Zero Pollution ambition; today, combustion engine vehicles are responsible for more than two thirds of all NOx emissions and account for a significant proportion of the total emissions of other pollutants in Europe. Directive 2014/94/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council43 laid down a framework for the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure. The Commission Communication on the application of that Directive44 points to the uneven development of recharging and refuelling infrastructure across the Union and the lack of interoperability and user friendliness. It notes that the absence of a clear common methodology for setting targets and adopting measures under the National Policy Frameworks required by Directive 2014/94/EU has led to a situation whereby the level of ambition in target setting and supporting policies varies greatly among Member States. _________________ 1bIPCC, 2018: Global Warming of 1.5°C.

(10) National fleet based targets should be established on the basis of the total number of registered electric vehicles in that Member State following a common methodology that accounts for technological developments such as the increased driving range of electric vehicles or the increasing market penetration of fast-charging points which can recharge a greater number of vehicles per recharging point than at a normal recharging point. The methodology also has to take into account system integration and renewable integration objectives, including related costs and benefits, that is enabled through smart and bidirectional recharging points, and the different recharging patterns of battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. A methodology that norms national fleet based targets on the total maximum power output of the publicly accessible recharging infrastructure should allow flexibility for the implementation of different recharging technologies in Member States.

While Directive 2018/2001/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council accelerates the roll-out of renewable energy, this Regulation directly creates demand for such energies in the transport sector by requiring that electricity, hydrogen, methanol or ammonia supplied to vehicles, aircrafts and vessels, come from renewable energy, possibly produced on-site, and in the case of certain fuels, are produced with CO2 from direct air capture. It indirectly creates demand for renewable electricity also by increasing consumer awareness through the requirement for charge point operators to disclose the renewable energy content of the supplied electricity on the basis of their contract with an electricity provider.

It is therefore necessary to modifyrevise, as soon as possible, the definition of the products and of the processes and emissions covered for some benchmarks to ensure a level playing field for new and existing technologieinnovative, zero-emission technologies and to take into account circularity potentials. It is also necessary to decouple the update of the benchmark values for refineries and for hydrogen to reflect the increasing importance of production of hydrogen outside the refineries sector. Moreover, free allocation should end as soon as the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism fully enters into force.

(17) In the European Green Deal, the Commission stated its intention to take additional measures to address greenhouse gas emissions from the maritime transport sector through a basket of measures to enable the Union to reach its emissions reduction targets. In this context, Directive 2003/87/EC should be amended to include the maritime transport sector in the EU ETS in order to ensure this sector contributes to the increased climate objectives of the Union as well as to the objectives of the Paris Agreement, which requires developed countries to take the lead by undertaking economy-wide emission reduction targets, while developing countries are encouraged to move over time towards economy-wide emission reduction or limitation targets.49 Considering that emissions from international aviation outside Europe should be capped from January 2021 by global market-based action while there is no action in place that caps or prices maritime transport emissions, it isIt is therefore appropriate that the EU ETS covers a share ofll the emissions from voyages between a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State and port under the jurisdiction of a third country, with the third country being able to decide on appropriate action in respect of the other share of emissions. The extension of the EU ETS to the maritime transport sector should thus include half ofl the emissions from ships performing voyages arriving at a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State from a port outside the jurisdiction of a Member State, half ofl the emissions from ships performing voyages departing from a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State and arriving at a port outside the jurisdiction of a Member State, emissions from ships performing voyages arriving at a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State from a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State, and emissions at berth in a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State. This approach has been noted as a practical way to solve the issue of Common but Differentiated Responsibilities and Capabilities, which has been a longstanding challenge in the UNFCCC context. The coverage of a share of thee coverage of all emissions from both incoming and outgoing voyages between the Union and third countries ensures the effectiveness of the EU ETS, notably by increasing the environmental impact of the measure compared to a geographical scope limited to voyages within the EU, while limiting the risk of evasive port calls and the risk of delocalisation of transhipment activities outside the Union. To ensure a smooth inclusion of the sector in the EU ETS, the surrendering of allowances by shipping companies should be gradually increased with respect to verified emIn line with the position of the Parliament expressed in the context of the revissions reported for the period 2023 to 2025. To protect the environmental integrity of the system, to the extent that fewer allowances are surrendered in respect of verified of Regulation (EU) 2015/757, the extension of the EU ETS to greenhouse gas emissions forom the maritime transport during those years, once the difference between verified emissions and allowances surrendered has been established each yearsector should apply immediately, and corresponding a number of allowances should be cancelled. As from 2026, shipping companies should surrender the number of allowances corresponding to all of their verified emissions reported in the preceding yearver a broad range of greenhouse gas emissions. _________________ 49 Paris Agreement, Article 4(4).

The Union-wide quantity of allowances of the EU ETS needs to be reduced to create the necessary long-term carbon price signal and drive for this degree of decarbonisation. To this end, the linear reduction factor should be increased, also taking into account the inclusion of emissions from maritime transport.

(30) The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), established under Regulation (EU) […./..] of the European Parliament and of the Council51 , is an alternative to free allocation to address the risk of carbon leakage. To the extent that sectors and subsectors are covered by that measure, they should not receive free allocation. However, a transitional phasing-out of free allowances is needed to allow producers, importers and traders to adjust to the new regime. The reduction of free allocation should be implemented by applying a factor to free allocation for CBAM sectors, while the CBAM is phased in.

The free allocation no longer provided to the CBAM sectors based on this calculation (CBAM demand) must be auctioned and the revenues will accrue to the Innovation Fund, so as to support innovation in low carbon technologies, carbon capture and utilisation (‘CCU’), carbon capture and geological storage (‘CCS’), renewable energy and energy storage, in a way that contributes to mitigating climate change. Special attention should be given to projects in CBAM sectors. To respect the proportion of the free allocation available for the non-CBAM sectors, the final amount to deduct from the free allocation and to be auctioned should be calculated based on the proportion that the CBAM demand represents in respect of the free allocation needs of all sectors receiving free allocation. zero- emission technologies, renewable energy and energy storage, prioritising solutions that address the root causes of high greenhouse gas emissions, and including through the use of Carbon Contracts for Differences for zero- emission technologies that have significantly higher ongoing operating costs than the reference conventional technology for producing the same product.

(33) The scope of the Innovation Fund referred to in Article 10a(8) of Directive 2003/87/EC should be extended to support innovation in low-carbon technologies and processes that concern the consumption of fuels in the sectors of buildings and road transportthe deployment of zero-emission technologies that may no longer be considered innovative but that nevertheless hold a significant abatement potential in view of the Union 2030 climate and energy targets. In addition, the Innovation Fund should serve to support investments to decarbonise the maritime transport sector, including investments in sustainable alternativerenewables-based fuels, such as hydrogen and ammonia that are produced from renewables, as well as zero- emission propulsion technologies like wind technologies. Considering that revenues generated from penalties raised in Regulation xxxx/xxxx [FuelEU Maritime]52 are allocated to the Innovation Fund as external assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(5) of the Financial Regulation, the Commission should ensure that due consideration is given to suppTo ensure sufficient funding is available for innovation within this extended scope, the Innovation Fund should be supplemented with 50 million allowances, stemming from the allowances that could otherwise be allocated fort for innovative projects aimed at accelerating the development and deployment of renewable and low carbon fuels in the maritime sector, as specified in Article 21(1) of Regulation xxxx/xxxx [FuelEU Maritime]ree. Projects and investments supported by the Innovation Fund should comply with the "do no significant harm" principle and the "minimum safeguards" requirements set out respectively in Articles 17 and 18 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852. TNo ensure sufficient funding is available for innovation within this extended scope, the Innovation Fund should be supplemented with 50 million allowances, stemming partly from the allowances that could otherwise be auctioned, and partly from the allowances that could otherwise be allocated for free, in accordance with the current proportion of funding provided from each source to the Innovation Fund. _________________ 52[add ref to the FuelEU Maritime Regulation]support should be given to any investments related to fossil fuels and nuclear energy, or to any other projects that would directly or indirectly lead to a lock-in of assets incompatible with the objective of accelerating the green transition to a climate-neutral, sustainable, non-toxic, resource-efficient, renewable energy- based, resilient and competitive circular economy in a just, equitable and inclusive way while protecting, restoring and improving the state of the environment including by, inter alia, halting and reversing biodiversity loss.

(35) Carbon Contracts for Difference (CCDs) are an important element to trigger emission reductions in industry, offering the opportunity to guarantee investors in innovative climate-friendlyzero-emission technologies a price that rewards CO2 emission reductions above those induced by the current price levels in the EU ETS. The range of measures that the Innovation Fund can support should be extended to provide support to projects through price- competitive tendering, such as CCDs. CCDs should only be granted to projects implementing technologies that are fully compatible with the objective of limiting global warming to 1,5C above pre- industrial levels and exclude the direct or indirect use of fossil fuels and nuclear energy, and that have significantly higher operating costs compared to the reference conventional technology for producing the same product. Financial support through CCDs should be proportionate and not lead to undue distortions of the EU´s internal market nor to unfair discrimination with regard competing imported products, as required under WTO law. As such, CCDs should present an alternative to free allowances and not an additional subsidy. The Commission should be empowered to adopt delegated acts on the precise rules for this type of support.

In addition, the percentage of the Modernisation Fund that needs to be devoted to priority investments should be increased to 8100 %; energy efficiency should be targeted as a priority area at the demand side; and support of households to address energy poverty, including in rural and remote areas, should be included within the scope of the priority investments.

(39) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/206654 lays down rules on the monitoring of emissions from biomass which are consistent with the rules on the use of biomass laid down in the Union legislation on renewable energy. As the legislation becomes more elaborate on the sustainability criteria for biomass with the latest rules established in Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council55 , the conferral of implementing powers in Article 14(1) of Directive 2003/87/EC should be explicitly extended to the adoption of the necessary adjustments for the application in the EU ETS of sustainability criteria for biomass, including biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels. In addition, the Commission should be empowered to adopt implementing acts to specify how to account for the storage of emissions from mixes of zero-rated biomass and biomass that is not from zero- rated sources. Considering the latest scientific evidence from the Joint Research Centre that most of the forest biomass currently being burnt for energy in the EU not only increases emissions compared to fossil fuels, but does so for decades which in turn undermines the Union's effort to limit global warming under 1,5°C, the conferral of implementing powers in Article 14(1) of Directive 2003/87/EC should be explicitly extended to apply internationally recognized emission factors for solid biomass and biofuels for stationary combustion in the energy industry. _________________ 54Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066 of 19 December 2018 on the monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions pursuant to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and amending Commission Regulation (EU) No 601/2012 (OJ L 334, 31.12.2018, p. 1). 55Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources (OJ L 328, 21.12.2018, p. 82).

(43) The Communication of the Commission on Stepping up Europe’s 2030 climate ambition57 , underlined the particular challenge to reduce the emissions in the sectors of road transport and buildings. Therefore, the Commission announced that a further expansion of emissions trading could include emissions from road transport and buildings. Emissions trading for these two new sectors would be established through separate but adjacent emissions trading. This would avoid any disturbance of the well-functioning emissions trading in the sectors of stationary installations and aviation. The new system is accompanied by compleachievement of the 1,5 degree objective is only possible if government policies are designed to be socially just. With the cost of living increasing significantly and wages having stagnated during decades of productivity increases, it is unjustified to extend the EU ETS to transport and buildings. Instead, governmentary policies and measures safeguarding against undue price impacts, shaping expectations of market participants and aiming for a carbon price signal for the whole economy. Previous experience has shown that the development of the new market requires setting upy should be focused on strengthening the regulatory framework, in particular the [CO2 cars and vans], [Energy Performance of Buildings] and efficient monitoring, reporting and verification system. In view of ensuring synergies and coherence with the existing Union infrastructure fstablishing government measures and financial instruments to support the EU ETS covering the emissions from stationary installations and aviation, it is appropriate to set up emissions trole out of affordable public transport, encouradging for the road transport and buildings sectors via an amendment to Directive 2003/87/ЕC. _________________ 57 COM(2020)562 finalcar companies to roll out affordable electric mobility and deep energy renovations.

(62) Considering the need to deliver a stronger investment signal to reduce emissions in a cost-efficient manner and with a view to strengthening the EU ETS, Decision (EU) 2015/1814 should be amended so as to increase the percentage rate for determining the number of allowances to be placed each year in the Market Stability Reserve. In addition, for lower levels of the TNAC, the intake should be equal to the difference between the TNAC and the threshold that determines the intake of allowances. This would prevent the considerable uncertainty in the auction volumes that results when the TNAC is close to to 36 %. The upper and lower thresholds should also be gradually reduced to zero by 2030 so that the threshold, and at the same time ensure that the surplus reaches the volume bandwidth within which the carbon market is deemed to operate in a balanced mannererve is kept fit for purpose despite unforeseeable external shocks.

The Parties to the Paris Agreement have agreed to holdIn its 2018 Special Report on the impacts of global warming of 1,5°C above pre- industrial levels, in its 2019 Special Reports on Climate Change and Land and on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate, and in its 2021 Report on the Physical Science Basis, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) provided the latest scientific evidence on the impacts of climate change and illustrated the need to urgently reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in all sectors of the economy in order to limit global warming to 1,5°C. By adopting the Glasgow Climate Pact, the Parties to the Paris Agreement recognised that the increase in the global average temperature well below 2to 1,5 °C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit would significantly reduce the risks and impact of climate change, and committed to strengthen temperature increase to 1,5 °C above pre-industrial levels. heir 2030 targets by the end of 2022 to close the ambition gap.

(8) In order to address the structural imbalance between supply and demand of allowances in the market, which has been accumulated since the start of the EU ETS due to generous allocation of free allowances leading to continuously low carbon prices preventing the EU ETS from providing strong incentives for emissions reduction, Decision (EU) 2015/1814 of the European Parliament and of the Council31 established a market stability reserve (the ‘reserve’) in 2018, which has been operational since 2019. __________________ 31 Decision (EU) 2015/1814 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 October 2015 concerning the establishment and operation of a market stability reserve for the Union greenhouse gas emission trading scheme and amending Directive 2003/87/EC (OJ L 264, 9.10.2015, p. 1).

(14) The analysis carried out in the context of the reserve’s review and the expected developments relevant to the carbon market demonstrate that a rate of 12 % of the total number of allowances in circulation to be placed in the reserve each year after 2023 is insufficient to prevent a significant increase of the surplus of allowances in the EU ETS. Therefore, after 2023 the percentage figure should continue to be 24 %, and the minimum number of allowances to be placed in the reserve should also continue to be 200 million.

(14b) According to the 2021 Carbon Market Report, the total number of allowances in circulation has already increased in 2020 to 1 579 billion allowances, compared to 1 385 billion allowances in 2019. This sharp increase in the overall surplus is linked to a lower demand due to the COVID-19 crisis. The Commission estimates that it will take up to four years for that additional 2020 surplus to be absorbed, thereby further delaying the urgent need to absorb the historical surplus and finally make the EU ETS fit for purpose.

(8) In order to achieve a rapid, deep and sustained reduction in net greenhouse gas emissions of at least 55 % by 2030 compared to 1990in this decade in line with international commitments under the Paris Agreement, it is necessary to strengthen the reduction requirements set out in Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the European Parliament and of the Council25 for both passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. A clear pathway also needs to be set for further reductions beyond 2030 to contribute to achieving the climate neutrality objective by 2050With an average lifetime of about 15 years, it is necessary to ensure that all new passenger cars and light commercial vehicles put on the Union market as of 2030 be fully zero- emissions. Setting an end date for the sale of new vehicles equipped with combustion engines is the only way of ensuring that the entire Union car fleet can become fully zero-emissions before 2050. In parallel, it is of utmost importance that complementary Union legislation, such as the Renewable Energy Directive, ensures a swift deployment of renewable energy so that the Union car fleet is powered by additional renewable electricity. Without ambitious action on greenhouse gas emission reductions and on renewable energy deployment in road transport, higher emission reductions would be needed in other sectors, including sectors where decarbonisation is more challenging. __________________ 25Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2019 setting CO2 emission performance standards for new passenger cars and for new light commercial vehicles, and repealing Regulations (EC) No 443/2009 and (EU) No 510/2011 (OJ L 111, 25.4.2019, p. 13).

Increased CO2 standards for passenger cars and light-commercial vehicles will accelerate the reduction of the total cost of ownership of battery electric vehicles, making them more attractive for all consumer groups across the Union than vehicles equipped with combustion engines. More ambitious CO2 standards for passenger cars and light- commercial vehicles for the period from 2025 to 2030 will also accelerate the decarbonisation of the second-hand market in all car segments, with greater benefits for lower- and middle-income consumers.

Within the global context, also the EU automotive chain must be a leading actor in the on- going transition towards zero-emission mobility. The strengthened CO2 emission reduction standards are technology neutral in reaching the fleet-wide targets that they set. Different technologies are and remain available to reach the zero- emission fleet wide target.

(12) The updated New Industrial Strategy26 foresees the co-creation of green and digital transition pathways in partnership with industry, public authorities, social partners and other stakeholders. In this context, a transition pathway should be developed for the mobility ecosystem to accompany the transition of the automotive value chain. The pathway should take particular heed of SMEs in the automotive supply chain, of the consultation of social partners including by Member Statesfor the mobility ecosystem should be science-based, developed in full transparency and in consultation with all stakeholders, in particular affected workers, to accelerate a socially just transition towards zero-emission, energy- and resource-efficient mobility. The pathway should take particular heed of SMEs in the automotive supply chain, of the consultation of social partners including by Member States, of the need to promote the uptake of higher shares of circular and decarbonized basic and critical raw materials, of improving synergies with the electricity sector, and also build on the European Skills Agenda with initiatives like the Pact for Skills to mobilise the private sector and other stakeholders to up-skill and re-skill Europe’s workforce in view of the green and digital transitions. The appropriate actions and incentives at European and national level to boost the sustainability and affordability of zero emission vehicles should also be addressed in the pathway. The progress made on this comprehensive transition pathway for the mobility ecosystem should be monitored every two years as part of a progress report to be submitted by the Commission, looking inter alia at the progress in the modal shift in European transport, in the deployment of zero- emission vehicles, their price developments, deployment of alternative fuels development and and their energy and resource consumption, progress in the roll-out of public and private recharging infrastructure roll- out as required under the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation, the potential of innovative technologies to reach climatEnergy Performance of Buildings Directive, and incentivised also by the Renewable Eneutral mobilityrgy Directive, international competitiveness, investments in the automotive value chain, use of Union funding for the up-skilling and re- skilling of workers and the reconversion of activities. The progress report will also build on the two-year progress reports that Member States submit under the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation. The Commission should consult social partners in the preparation of the progress report, including the results in the social dialogue. Innovations in the automotive supply chain are continuing. Innovative technologies such as the production of electro-fuels with air capture, if further developed, could offer prospects for affordable climate neutral mobility. The Commission should therefore keep track of progress in the state of innov, especially in regions with a high percentage of jobs related to the automotive value chain, reductions in the level of embedded emissions in GHG- intensive materials, and steps taken to improve material circularity. The progress report will also build on annual reporting of the Union Environmental Agency on the progress of the transport sector towards its environmental and climate objectives, and the progress reports that Member States submit under the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation.

(12a) The transition towards zero- emission mobility should take account of the high shares of embedded greenhouse gas emissions in cars and light commercial vehicles. It is estimated that in 2019, mobility products, such as cars, vans and trucks, were the final destination for 40% of Union aluminium production, 18% of Union steel production and 10% of plastic production. Mobility products were thus responsible for approximately 84 megatons of carbon-dioxide emissions, or 18% of the Union’s total emissions from these three, CO2-intensive, industrial processes combined, before counting emissions embedded in imports1a. As the CO2 performance of vehicle propulsion systems declines, the share of life-cycle emissions embedded in vehicle materials could become increasingly important, if left unaddressed. To ensure that embedded carbon emissions are addressed as part of an holistic zero-emission mobility strategy and the circular economy strategy, the Commission should submit legislative proposals to the Parliament and the Council by 2026 with a view to improving the measurement, reporting and also to regulating the maximum levels of embedded greenhouse gas emissions contained in cars and light duty vehicles sold in the Union’s internal market and to increasing the level of recycled basic and critical raw materials in vehicles. In doing so, the potential for resource savings and enhanced materials circularity should be given priority. __________________ 1a Estimates by Agora Industry (2022) “Closing the loop: Making the circular economy work harder to decarbonize climate neutral industry”

In that context, the incentive mechanism for zero- and low-emission vehicles (‘ZLEV’) would no longer serve its original purpose and would risk undermining the effectiveness of Regulation (EU) 2019/631. The ZLEV incentive mechanism should therefore be removed as of 2030. Before that date and therefore throughout this decade, the incentive mechanism for ZLEV will continue to support the deployment of vehicles with emissions from zero up to 50 g CO2/km, including battery electric vehicles, fuel-cell electric vehicles using hydrogen and well performing plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. After that date, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles continue to count against the fleet-wide targets that vehicle manufacturers must meet25.

(25a) Regulation 2018/1999/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council1a enshrines the "Energy Efficiency First" principle as an overarching principle that should be taken into account at all levels and across all sectors, beyond the energy system. Road transport accounts for a significant share of final energy consumption in the Union. The "Energy Efficiency First" principle should therefore be applied in the Union transport policy, planning and investment decisions, by promoting first a modal shift from private to public, shared and soft mobility, followed by direct renewable electrification in all feasible transport modes, including road transport. The recent Commission recommendation C (2021)7014 1b provides guidance on how to operationalise the energy efficiency first principle in transport policies. It highlights that “while focussing on fuel switch other energy savings should not be ignored” as for instance “vehicles should be designed and used in a way that is as energy efficient as possible, so that minimal energy is used for various mobility activities and charging of electric vehicles”. This Regulation should strive to implement those guidelines. __________________ 1aRegulation (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 1bCommission recommendation of 28.9.2021 C (2021)7014 “On energy efficiency first: from principle to practice.

(3) The Versailles Declaration of 10-11 March 2022 of the Heads of States and Governments invited the Commission to propose by the end of May a REPowerEU plan to phase out the dependency on Russian fossil fuel imports, which was subsequently reiterated in the European Council Conclusions of 24-25 March 2022. This should be done well before 2030 in a way that is consistent with the EU’s Green Deal and the climate objectives for 2030 and 2050 enshrined in the European Climate Law. Regulation (EU) 2021/241 should therefore be amended to enhance its ability to support reforms and investments dedicated to diversifying energy supplies, in particular fossil fuelreducing the Union's dependence on fossil fuels by boosting energy efficiency and the deployment of sustainable renewable energy sources across sectors, thereby strengthening the strategic autonomy of the Union alongside an open economy.

(6) The REPowerEU chapter should include revised and new reforms and investments contributing to the REPowerEU aims. New measures should not affect the level of ambition of the original plan. Furthermore, that chapter should contain an outline of other measures, financed from sources other than the Recovery and Resilience Facility, contributing to the energy-related objectives outlined in recital (3). The outline should cover measures whose implementation should take place between 1 February 2022 to 31 December 2026, the period during which the objectives set by this Regulation are to be achieved. As regards natural gas infrastructure, the investments and reforms of the REPowerEU chapters to diversify supply away from Russia shouldIt is imperative to swiftly increase investments in energy efficiency measures, such as replacement of gas buoild on the needs currently identified through the assessment conducted and agreed by the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Gas (ENTSOG), established in the spirit of solidarity as regards security of supply and take into account the reinforced preparedness measures taken to adapt to new geopolitical threaters with heat pumps, that present a sustainable and effective way to address some of the most pressing challenges of energy supply and energy cost, as well as to support energy- poor and vulnerable consumers.

(6a) The Recovery and Resilience Facility should not be used to finance new gas and oil infrastructure. This would not be inline with the “do no significant harm” principle and the objectives of REPowerEU. Investments in additional gas and oil infrastructure would draw out dependency on fossil fuels, including potentially from Russian suppliers. In extraordinary situations, when additional energy infrastructure is urgently needed and when an independent and transparent scrutiny confirms the unfeasibility of more sustainable alternatives, Member States can resort to temporary measures related to transmission and distribution infrastructure as laid down in the Annex III of the Commission’s technical guidance on the application of “do no significant harm” under the Recovery and Resilience Facility.

(13) The application of the ‘do no significant harm’ principle is essential to ensure that the investments and reforms undertaken as part of the recovery from the pandemic are implemented in a sustainable manner. It should continue to apply to the reforms and investments supported by the Facility, with one targeted exemption to safeguard the EU’ immediate energy security concerns. Considering the objective of diversifying energy supplies away from Russian suppliers, the reforms and investments set out in those REPowerEU chapters which aim to improve energy infrastructure and facilities to meet immediate security of supply needs for oil and gas should not be required to comply with the principle of ‘do no significant harm’ and should therefore be exempted from such assessment.

(6) Achieving climate neutrality shouldDelivering on the objectives of the Paris Agreement, in particular by achieving net zero GHG emissions by 2040 at the latest, requires a contribution from all economic ll economic sectors, including aviation and maritime transport, to rapidly reduce their emissions to closec tors zero. In light of the importance of energy production and consumption on greenhouse gas emissions, the transition to a sustainable, affordable and securehighly efficient and fully renewables-based energy system relying on a well-functioning internal energy market is essential. The transformation and decarbonisation of our transport and food systems and of our industries, as well as digital transformation, technological innovation, and research and development, are also important drivers for achieving the climate-neutrality objective. The Union and the Member States will need to adopt ambitious and coherent regulatory frameworks to ensure the contribution of all sectors of the economy to the Union’s climate objectives.
