2 Methodology to select strategic raw materials 1. The strategic importance shall be determined based on the relevance of a raw material for the green and digital transition as well as defence and space applications, taking into account: (a) the amount of strategic technologies using a raw material as an input; (b) the amount of a raw material needed for manufacturing relevant strategic technologies; (c) the expected global demand for relevant strategic technologies. 2. The forecasted demand growth (DF/C) shall be calculated as follows: null where: DF is a demand forecast for a raw material for a reference year; GS is the global annual production of a raw material for a reference period. 3. The difficulty of increasing production shall be determined taking into account at least: (a) the current production scale (PS) of a raw material for a reference period, calculated as follows: null where: log10 is a common logarithm; GS is the global annual production of a raw material for a reference period; (b) the reserves-production ratio R/P of a raw material, calculated as follows: null where: R are known reserves of economically extractable geological resources of a raw material; GS is the global annual production of a raw material for a reference period.deleted

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 11

(11) This Regulation aims to strengthen and harmonise rights and obligations applicable across the Union to accelerate the roll-out of very high capacity networks and cross-sector coordination, while respecting the different constitutional structures of Member States, including regional and local self-government and the principle of procedural autonomy of Member States. Due to the persistent fragmentation of electronic communications markets in individual national markets, undertakings providing or authorised to provide electronic communications networks are unable to achieve economies of scale. This can have a strong downstream effect on cross-border trade and services provision, since many services can only be provided where an adequately performant network is in place across the Union. While ensuring an improved level playing field, this Regulation does not prevent national measures in compliance with Union law that serve to promote the joint use of existing physical infrastructure or enable a more efficient deployment of new physical infrastructure by complementing the rights and obligations laid down in this Regulation. For example, Member States could extend provisions on civil works coordination also to privately funded projects or require that more information on physical infrastructure or planned civil works is provided to a single information point in electronic format, provided that they do not violate Union law including the provisions of this Regulation.

Recital 17

(17) In the absence of a justified exception, physical infrastructure elements owned or controlled by public sector bodies, even when they are not part of a network, can also host electronic communications network elements and should be made accessible to facilitate installing network elements of very high capacity networks, in particular wireless networks. Examples of physical infrastructure elements are buildings, including rooftops, entries to buildings, and any other asset, including street furniture, such as light poles, street signs, traffic lights, billboards, bus and tramway stops and metro stations. It is for Member States to identify specific buildings owned or controlled by public sector bodies in their territories where access obligations cannot apply, for example, for reasons of architectural, historical, religious or natural value.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 20

(20) To ensure proportionality ~~and~~, preserve investment incentives, especially for VHCN pioneers, and thus create an incentive for the rapid rollout of VHCNs to rural areas, a network operator or public sector body should have the right to refuse access to specific physical infrastructure for objective and justified reasons. In particular, a physical infrastructure for which access has been requested could be technically unsuitable due to specific circumstances, or because of lack of currently available space or future needs for space that are sufficiently demonstrated, for instance, in publicly available investment plans. To ensure proportionality and preserve investment incentives, a network operator or public sector body may refuse access to specific physical infrastructure. To avoid any potential distortion of competition or any possible abuse of the conditions to refuse access, any such refusal should be duly justified and based on objective and detailed reasons. For example such reasons would not be considered objective where an undertaking providing or authorised to provide electronic communications networks has deployed physical infrastructure thanks to civil works coordination with a network operator other than an electronic communications network operator and refuses to grant access based on an alleged lack of availability of space to host the elements of very high capacity networks which results from decisions made by the undertaking under its control. In such case, a competition distortion could arise if there is no other VHCN in the area concerned by the access request. Similarly, in specific circumstances, sharing the infrastructure could jeopardise safety or public health, network integrity and security, including that of critical infrastructure, or could endanger the provision of services that are primarily provided over the same infrastructure. Moreover, where ~~the~~a network operator already provides a viable alternative means of wholesale ~~physical~~ access to electronic communications networks that would meet the needs of the access seeker, such as dark fibre or fibre unbundling, access to the underlying physical infrastructure, or to parallel physical infrastructure, could have an adverse economic impact on its business model, in particular that of wholesale-only operators, and on incentives to invest. It may also risk an inefficient duplication of network elements, which in particular shall be avoided until sufficient coverage of rural areas with VHCNs is achieved. The assessment of the fair and reasonable character of the terms and conditions for such alternative means of wholesale physical access should take into account, inter alia, the underlying business model of the undertaking providing or authorised to provide public electronic communications networks granting access and the need to avoid any reinforcement of the significant market power, if any, of either party.

Recital 25

(25) Operators should have access to minimum information on physical infrastructure and planned civil works in the area of deployment. This will enable them to effectively plan deploying very high capacity networks and ensure the most effective use of existing physical infrastructure, suitable for rolling out such networks, and planned civil works. Such minimum information is a pre-requisite to assess the potential for using existing physical infrastructure or coordinating the planned civil works in a specific area, as well as to reduce damage to any existing physical infrastructures. In view of the number of stakeholders involved (covering publicly and privately financed civil works as well as existing or planned physical infrastructure) and to facilitate access to that information (across sectors and borders), the network operators and public sector bodies subject to transparency obligations should, where feasible, proactively (rather than upon request) provide and maintain such minimum information via a single information point. This will simplify managing requests to access such information and enable operators to express their interest in accessing physical infrastructure or coordinating civil works, for which timing is critical. The minimum information on planned civil works should be provided via a single information point as soon as the information is available to the network operator concerned and, in any event and where permits are required, no later than 3 months before the permit application is first submitted to the competent authorities.

Recital 38

(38) A number of different permits for deploying elements of electronic communications networks or associated facilities may be necessary in order to protect national and Union general interests. These can include digging, building, town planning, environmental and other permits as well as rights of way. The number of permits and rights of way required for deploying different types of electronic communications networks or associated facilities and the local character of the deployment could involve applying different procedures and conditions, which can cause difficulties in the network deployment. Therefore, to facilitate deployment, all rules on the conditions and procedures applicable to granting permits and rights of way should be streamlined and consistent at national level, while respecting the constitutional structure of every Member State. While preserving the right of each competent authority to be involved and maintain its decision-making prerogatives in accordance with the subsidiarity principle, all information on the procedures and general conditions applicable to granting permits for civil works and rights of way should be available via single information points. This could reduce complexity and increase efficiency and transparency for all operators and particularly new entrants and smaller operators not active in that area. Moreover, operators should have the right to submit their requests for permits and rights of way in electronic format via a single information point. Those undertakings should also be able to retrieve information in electronic format about the status of their requests and whether they have been granted or refused.

(42) In order to ensure that the procedures for granting such permits and rights of way are completed within reasonable deadlines, as appears from certain modernising and good administrative practices at national level, it is necessary to draw up principles for administrative simplification. This should include inter alia limiting the obligation of prior authorisation to cases in which it is essential and introducing tacit approval by the competent authorities after a certain period of time has elapsed. Moreover, the categories of deployments exempted from permits under Union law should no longer be subject to permits under national law.

(8) The European Parliament’s Resolution of 10 February 2021 on the New Circular Economy Action Plan39 reiterated the objective of making all packaging reusable or recyclable in an economically viable way by 2030 and called on the Commission to present a legislative proposal including waste reduction measures and targets and ambitious essential requirements in the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive to reduce excessive packaging, including in e-commerce, improve recyclability and minimise the complexity of packaging, increase recycled content, phase out hazardous and harmful substances, and promote re-use. It also stressed that food safety and hygiene standards must not be compromised. __________________ 39 https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/doc ument/TA-9-2021-0040_EN.html

(12a) Packaging plays an important role in reducing food waste. According to the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA), food packaging protects food from microorganisms and makes it easier to store and to prolong the shelf life of food. Packaging helps preserving food, ensures its composition and organoleptic properties are not compromised, protects it from mechanical damage and physical shocks, and represents an effective barrier against microbiological degradation, oxygen or loss of aromas, therefore increasing the shelf life of food products. Packaging for fresh fruit and vegetables can ensure that consumers have access to fresh, healthy products that last longer therefore encouraging their consumption and healthy eating habits. Any initiative aiming to reduce the amount of packaging placed on the market should not impair packaging functionalities and jeopardise the EU food waste reduction ambitions.

(26) To ensure packaging circularity, packaging should be designed and manufactured in such a way as to allow for the increased substitution of virgin materials with recycled materials. The increased use of recycled materials supports the development of the circular economy with well-functioning markets for recycled materials, reduces costs, dependencies and negative environmental impacts related to the use of primary raw materials, and allows for a more resource- efficient use of materials. In relation to the different packaging materials, the lowest input of recycled materials is in plastic packaging. In order to address these concerns in the most appropriate manner, it is necessary to increase the uptake of recycled plastics, by establishing mandatory targets for recycled content in plastic packaging at different levels depending on the contact-sensitivity54 of different plastic packaging applications, the availability, prices and market volumes of recycled plastic and ensuring that the targets become binding byfrom 2030. In order to incrementally ensure packaging circularity, increased targets should apply as of 2040. __________________ 54 Contact sensitive packaging refers to plastic packaging of products covered by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (OJ L 268, 18.10.2003, p. 29), Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 October 2004 on materials and articles intended to come into contact with food (OJ L 338 13.11.2004, p. 4), Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 on the placing on the market and use of feed, amending European Parliament and Council Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 and repealing Council Directive 79/373/EEC, Commission Directive 80/511/EEC, Council Directives 82/471/EEC, 83/228/EEC, 93/74/EEC, 93/113/EC and 96/25/EC and Commission Decision 2004/217/EC (OJ L 229, 1.9.2009, p. 1), Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 November 2009 on cosmetic products (recast) (OJ L 342, 22.12.2009, p. 59), Regulation (EU) 2017/745 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 April 2017 on medical devices, amending Directive 2001/83/EC, Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 and Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 and repealing Council Directives 90/385/EEC and 93/42/EEC (OJ L 117, 5.5.2017, p. 1), Regulation (EU) 2017/746 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 April 2017 on in vitro diagnostic medical devices and repealing Directive 98/79/EC and Commission Decision 2010/227/EU (OJ L 117, 5.5.2017, p. 176), Regulation (EU) 2019/4 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on the manufacture, placing on the market and use of medicated feed, amending Regulation (EC) No 183/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Council Directive 90/167/EEC (OJ L 4, 7.1.2019, p. 1), Regulation (EU) 2019/6 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on veterinary medicinal products and repealing Directive 2001/82/EC (OJ L 4, 7.1.2019, p. 43), Directive 2001/83/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 November 2001 on the Community code relating to medicinal products for human use (OJ L 311, 28.11.2001, p. 67) and Directive 2008/68/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 September 2008 on the inland transport of dangerous goods (OJ L 260, 30.9.2008, p. 13–59).

The contributions of the producers should be proportionate to the quantities of relevant micro-pollutants contained in the products they place on the market and the hazardouness of their residues. The contributions, should cover, but not exceed, the costs for the monitoring activities for micro-pollutants, the collection, reporting and impartial verification of statistics on the quantities and hazardouness of micro-pollutants in the products placed on the market, and the ~~applic~~installation of the quaternary treatment to urban wastewater in an efficient manner and in accordance with this Directive.

(2) The European Green Deal announced a revision of Union measures to address pollution from large industrial installations, including reviewing the sectoral scope of the legislation and how to make it fully consistent with climate, energy and circular economy policies. In addition, the Zero Pollution Action Plan, the Circular Economy Action Plan and the Farm to Fork Strategy also call for reducing pollutant emissions at source, including sources not currently within the scope of Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council69 . ~~Addressing pollution from certain agro- industrial activities thus requires their inclusion within the scope of that Directive.~~ __________________ 69 Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 on industrial emissions (integrated pollution prevention and control); OJ L 334, 17.12.2010, p. 17-119.

(4) Rearing of pigs, poultry and cattle ~~cause significant~~, while contributing to food security, cause pollutant emissions into the air and water. In order to reduce such pollutant emissions, including ammonia, methane, nitrates and greenhouse gas emissions and thereby improve air, water and soil quality, it is necessary to lower the threshold above which pigs and poultry installations are included within the scope of Directive 2010/75/EU and to include also cattle farming within that scope. Relevant BAT requirements take into consideration the nature, size, density, design like free- ventilated stables, trade-offs with animal welfare and complexity of these installations, including the specificities of pasture based cattle rearing systems, where animals are only seasonally reared in indoor installations, and the range of environmental impacts they may have. The proportionality requirements in BATs aim to incentivise farmers to implement the necessary transition towards increasingly environmentally friendly agricultural practices.

This report should be followed, as soon as possible, by a legislative proposal by the Commission to introduce a transparency mechanism for the European carbon markets. However, to continuously monitor market integrity and transparency and guide any rapid potential action, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) should annually assess and report on the market integrity and transparency of the market and, where relevant, issue further recommendations for targeted improvements. This annual assessment should in particular examine market volatility and price evolution, the operation of the auctions and trading operations on the market, liquidity and the volumes traded, and the categories and trading behaviour of market participants. Targeted improvements could, for example, include a modification of the reporting of positions held by different categories of participants and penalty mechanisms for market abuse as set out in Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 [Market Abuse Regulation], for example through a fluctuating penalty based on the previous year’s average auction price, the non-delivery of allowances, the adjustment of the quantity of subsequent auctions, or a combination thereof.

Recital 12

(12) Indirect land-use change occurs when the cultivation of crops for biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels displaces traditional production of crops for food and feed purposes. Such additional demand increases the pressure on land and can lead to the extension of agricultural land into areas with high-carbon stock, such as forests, wetlands and peatland, causing additional greenhouse gas emissions and loss of biodiversity. Research has shown that the scale of the effect depends on a variety of factors, including the type of feedstock used for fuel production, the level of additional demand for feedstock triggered by the use of biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels, and the extent to which land with high-carbon stock is protected worldwide. The level of greenhouse gas emissions caused by indirect land-use change cannot be unequivocally determined with the level of precision required for the establishment of emission factors required by the application of this regulation. However, there is evidence that all fuels produced from feedstock cause indirect land-use change to various degrees. In addition to the greenhouse gas emissions linked to indirect land-use change – which is capable of negating some or all greenhouse gas emissions savings of individual biofuels, bioliquids or biomass fuels – indirect land-use change poses risks to biodiversity. This risk is particularly serious in connection with a potentially large expansion of production determined by a significant increase in demand. ~~Accordingly, no feed and food crop-based fuels should be promoted.~~ Directive (EU) 2018/2001 already limits and sets a cap on the contribution of ~~such~~ biofuels, bioliquids and biomass to the GHG emissions savings targets in the road and rail transport sector considering their lower environmental benefits, lower performance in terms of greenhouse reduction potential and broader sustainability concerns.

(13) ~~However, this approach must be stricter in the maritime sector.~~ The maritime sector has currently insignificant levels of demand for ~~food and feed crops- based~~ biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels, since over 99% of currently used marine fuels are of fossil origin. Therefore, ~~the non-eligi~~use of biofuels, bioli~~ty of food and feed crop- based~~quids and biomass fuels under this Regulation ~~also~~must minimises any risk to slow down the decarbonisation of the transport sector, which could ~~otherwise~~ result from a shift of ~~crop-based~~ biofuels from the road to the maritime sector. It is essential to minimise such a shift, as road transport currently remains by far the most polluting transport sector and the maritime transport currently uses predominanatly fuels of fossil origin. It is therefore appropriate to avoid the creation of a potentially large demand of ~~food and feed crops-based~~unsustainable biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels by promoting their use under this Regulation~~. Accordingly, the additional greenhouse gas emissions and loss of biodiversity caused by all types of feed and food crop-based fuels require that these fuels be considered to have the same emission f~~, and ensure that the maritime industry only uses biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels that comply with the sustainability criteria and greenhouse gas saving criteria set out in Article 29 of Directive (EU) 2018/2001. Accordingly, the additional greenhouse gas emissions and loss of biodiversity caused by all types of biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels require that the greenhouse gas emission factors of these fuels shall be determined actcor~~s as the least favourable pathway~~ding to the methodologies set out in Directive (EU) 2018/2001.

While only the provision on OPS connection points is covered by Directive 2014/94/EU (Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Directive – AFID), the demand for and, as a result, the deployment of this technology has remained limited. Therefore specific rules should be established to mandate the use of OPS by the most polluting ships, where, after accounting for the GHG emissions associated with electricity production, the use of OPS leads to a lowering of overall emissions.

In addition, before they have taken place, the cost supported by households and transport users for heating, cooling and cooking, as well as for road transport, is likely to increase as fuel suppliers subject to the obligations under the emission trading for buildings and road transport pass on costs on carbon to the consumers. There is a need to avoid reactive-only measures, therefore the Fund should start its operation before inclusion of at least private households and transport into the scope of directive 2003/87/EC (ETS) so that there is a time to prepare the mostvulnerable transport users and households and to minimise the need of direct income payments. To that end it is desirable that the measures supporting energy efficiency and aimed at improvement of air quality undertaken by Member States are aligned with the purpose of minimising the impact of broadening of the scope of Directive 2003/87/EC.

Recital 16

(16) Development and deployment of sustainable aviation fuels with a high potential for sustainability, commercial maturity and a high potential for innovation and growth to meet future needs should be promoted. This should support creating innovative and competitive fuels markets and ensure sufficient supply of sustainable aviation fuels for aviation in short and long term to contribute to Union transport decarbonisation ambitions, while strengthening Union’s efforts towards a high level of environmental protection. For this purpose, sustainable aviation fuels produced from feedstock listed in Parts A and B of Annex IX of Directive (EU) 2018/2001, as well as synthetic aviation fuels should be eligible. In particular, sustainable aviation fuels produced from feedstock listed in Part B of Annex IX of Directive (EU) 2018/2001 are essential, as currently the most commercially mature technology to decarbonise air transport already in the short term.

Recital 17

(17) For sustainability reasons, only sustainable feed and food crop-based fuels should ~~not~~ be eligible. ~~In particular,~~Concerns with indirect land-use change, which can occurs when the cultivation of crops for biofuels displaces traditional production of crops for food and feed purposes. Such additional demand increases the pressure on land and can lead to the extension of agricultural land into areas with high-carbon stock, such as forests, wetlands and peatland, causing additional greenhouse gas emissions and loss of biodiversity concerns. Research has shown that the scale of the effect depends on a variety of factors, including the type of feedstock used for fuel production, the level of additional demand for feedstock triggered by the use of biofuels and the extent to which land with high-carbon stock is protected worldwide. The highest risks of indirect land-use change have been identified for biofuels, fuels produced from feedstock for which a significant expansion of the production area into land with high-carbon stock is observed. Accordingly, feed and food crop-based fuels should not be promoted. This approach is in line Union policy and in particular with Directive (EU) 2018/2001 which limits and sets a cap on the use of such biofuels in road and rail transport, considering their lower environmental benefits, lower performance in terms of greenhouse reduction potential and broader sustainability concerns. In addition to the greenhouse gas emissions linked to indirect land-use change – which is capable of negating some or all greenhouse gas emissions savings of individual biofuels – indirect land-use change poses risks also to biodiversity. This risk is particularly serious in connection with a potentially large expansion of production determined by a significant increase in demand. The aviation sector has currently insignificant levels of demand for food and feed crops- based biofuels, since over 99% of currently used aviation fuels are of fossil origin. It is therefore appropriate to avoid the creation of a potentially large demand of food and feed crops-based biofuels by promoting their use under this Regulation. The non-eligibility of crop- based biofuels under this Regulation also minimises any risk to slow down the decarbonisation of road transport, which could otherwise result from a shift of crop-based biofuels from the road to the aviation sector. It is essential to minimise such a shift, as road transport currently remains by far the most polluting transport sector, are already addressed in Directive (EU) 2018/2001 by means of a cap on the contribution of crop-based biofuels for the Union targets including aviation, as well as a delegated act on high-ILUC risk biofuels, which are to be phased out to 0% by 2030.

2. Member States shall ensure that where a district heating and cooling system is built or substantially refurbished it meets the criteria set out in paragraph 1 applicable at such time when it starts or continues its operation after the refurbishment. In addition, Member States shall ensure that when a district heating and cooling system is built or substantially refurbished, there is no increase in the use of fossil fuels other than natural gas in existing heat sources compared to the annual consumption averaged over the previous three calendar years of full operation before refurbishment, and that any new heat sources in that system do not use fossil fuels other than natural gas.

(14) It is therefore appropriate to update in 2025 the annual emission allocations for the years 2026 to 2030. This should be based on a comprehensive review of the national inventory data carried out by the Commission in order to determine the average of the greenhouse gas emissions of each Member State during the years 2021, 2022 and 2023.deleted

Recital 13

(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 and advance the green transition of the European Union. It should continue to apply to the reforms and investments supported by the Facility, with one targeted and timely 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 and are completed by 31 December 2025 should not be required to comply with the principle of ‘do no significant harm’ and should therefore be exempted from such assessment. To ensure that such an exemption does not jeopardise the integrity of the European Union’s 2030 and 2050 climate targets, the Commission should also include an assessment of the climate and environmental impacts of this time-limited derogation and measures how to compensate them in its annual reports. In addition, this derogation should only be applicable to 25% of the total estimated cost of the REPowerEU chapter of each plan.

(16) The placing on the market, putting into service or use of certain AI systems intended to distort human behaviour, whereby with due diligence it could be predicted that physical or psychological harms are likely to occur, should be forbidden. Such AI systems deploy subliminal components individuals cannot perceive or exploit vulnerabilities of children and people due to their age, physical or mental incapacities. They do so with the intention to materially distort the behaviour of a person and in a manner that causes or is likely to cause harm to that or another person. The intention may not be presumed if the distortion of human behaviour results from factors external to the AI system which are outside of the control of the provider or the user. Research for legitimate purposes in relation to such AI systems should not be stifled by the prohibition, if such research does not amount to use of the AI system in human- machine relations that exposes natural persons to harm and such research is carried out in accordance with recognised ethical standards for scientific research.

(6) There are techniques enabling privacy-friendly analyses on databases that contain personal data, such as anonymisation, pseudonymisation, differential privacy, generalisation, oruse of synthetic data, suppression ~~and~~, randomisation or other state-of-the-art privacy preserving methods. Application of these privacy-enhancing technologies, together with comprehensive data protection approaches should ensure the safe re-use of personal data and commercially confidential business data for research, innovation and statistical purposes. In many cases this implies that the data use and re-use in this context can only be done in a secure processing environment set in place and supervised by the public sector. There is experience at Union level with such secure processing environments that are used for research on statistical microdata on the basis of Commission Regulation (EU) 557/2013 (39 ). In general, insofar as personal data are concerned, the processing of personal data should rely upon one or more of the grounds for processing provided in Article 6 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679. _________________ 39Commission Regulation (EU) 557/2013 of 17 June 2013 implementing Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on European Statistics as regards access to confidential data for scientific purposes and repealing Commission Regulation (EC) No 831/2002 (OJ L 164, 18.6.2013, p. 16).

(11) Conditions for re-use of protected data that apply to public sector bodies competent under national law to allow re- use, and which should be without prejudice to rights or obligations concerning access to such data, should be laid down. Those conditions should be non-discriminatory, proportionate and objectively justified, while not restricting competition. In particular, public sector bodies allowing re- use should have in place the technical means necessary to ensure the protection of rights and interests of third parties and be empowered to request the necessary information from the re-user. Conditions attached to the re-use of data should be limited to what is necessary to preserve the rights and interests of others in the data and the integrity of the information technology and communication systems of the public sector bodies. Public sector bodies should apply conditions which best serve the interests of the re-user without leading to a disproportionate effort for the public sector. Depending on the case at hand, before its transmission, personal data should be fully anonymised, so as to definitively not allow the identification of the data subjects, or data containing commercially confidential information modified in such a way that no confidential information is disclosed. Where provision of anonymised or modified data would not respond to the needs of the re-user, on- premise or remote re-use of the data within a secure processing environment could be permitted. Data analyses in such secure processing environments should be supervised by the public sector body, so as to protect the rights and interests of others. In particular, personal data should only be transmitted for re-use to a third party where a legal basis allows such transmission. The public sector body could make the use of such secure processing environment conditional on the signature by the re-user of a confidentiality agreement that prohibits the disclosure of any information that jeopardises the rights and interests of third parties that the re-user may have acquired despite the safeguards put in place. The public sector bodies, where relevant, should facilitate the re-use of data on the basis of consent of data subjects or permissions of legal persons on the re-use of data pertaining to them through adequate technical means. In this respect, the public sector body should support potential re-users in seeking such consent by establishing technical mechanisms that permit transmitting requests for consent from re-users, where practically feasible. No contact information should be given that allows re-users to contact data subjects or companies directly.

(15) Furthermore, i~~t is~~n order to preserve fair competition and an open market economy it is of utmost importantce to protect commercially sensitive data of non- personal nature, notably trade secrets, but also non-personal data representing content protected by intellectual property rights from unlawful access that may lead to IP theft or industrial espionage. In order to ensure the protection of fundamental rights or interests of data holders, non-personal data which is to be protected from unlawful or unauthorised access under Union or national law, and which is held by public sector bodies, should be transferred only to third-countries where appropriate safeguards for the use of data are provided. Such appropriate safeguards should be considered to exist when in that third- country there are equivalent measures in place which ensure that non-personal data benefits from a level of protection similar to that applicable by means of Union or national law in particular as regards the protection of trade secrets and the protection of intellectual property rights. To that end, the Commission may adopt ~~implementing~~delegated acts that declare that a third country provides a level of protection that is essentially equivalent to those provided by Union or national law. The assessment of the level of protection afforded in such third-country should, in particular, take into consideration the relevant legislation, both general and sectoral, including concerning public security, defence, national security and criminal law concerning the access to and protection of non-personal data, any access by the public authorities of that third country to the data transferred, the existence and effective functioning of one or more independent supervisory authorities in the third country with responsibility for ensuring and enforcing compliance with the legal regime ensuring access to such data, or the third countries’ international commitments regarding the protection of data the third country concerned has entered into, or other obligations arising from legally binding conventions or instruments as well as from its participation in multilateral or regional systems. The existence of effective legal remedies for data holders, public sector bodies or data sharing providers in the third country concerned is of particular importance in the context of the transfer of non-personal data to that third country. Such safeguards should therefore include the availability of enforceable rights and of effective legal remedies.

The re-user that intends to transfer the data to such third country should commit to comply with the obligations laid out in this Regulation even after the data has been transferred to the third country. To ensure the proper enforcement of such obligations, the re- user should also accept the jurisdiction of the Member State of the public sector body that allowed the re-use for the judicial settlement of disputes.

Recital 19

(19) In order to build trust in re-use mechanisms, it may be necessary to attach stricter conditions for certain types of non- personal data that have been identified as highly sensitive, as regards the transfer to third countries, if such transfer could jeopardise public policy objectives, in line with international commitments. For example, in the health domain, certain datasets held by actors in the public health system, such as public hospitals, could be identified as highly sensitive health data. Other relevant sectors could be transport, energy, environment, telecommunications and finance. In order to ensure harmonised practices across the Union, such types of highly sensitive non-personal public data should be defined by Union law, for example in the context of the European Health Data Space or other sectoral legislation. The conditions attached to the transfer of such data to third countries should be laid down in delegated acts. Conditions should be proportionate, non- discriminatory and necessary to protect legitimate public policy objectives identified, such as the protection of public health, public order, safety, the environment, public morals, consumer protection, privacy and personal data protection. The conditions should correspond to the risks identified in relation to the sensitivity of such data, including in terms of the risk of the re- identification of individuals. These conditions could include terms applicable for the transfer or technical arrangements, such as the requirement of using a secure processing environment, limitations as regards the re-use of data in third-countries or categories of persons which are entitled to transfer such data to third countries or who can access the data in the third country. In exceptional cases they could also include restrictions on transfer of the data to third countries to protect the public interest.

Work on technical standardisation may include the identification of priorities for the development of standards and establishing and maintaining a set of technical and legal standards for transmitting data between two processing environments that allows data spaces to be organised without making recourse to an intermediary. The Board should cooperate with the Data Innovation Advisory Council, sectoral bodies, networks or expert groups, or other cross- sectoral organisations dealing with re-use of data.

Recital 6

(6) TIn line with the "One Health" and "Health in all policies" approaches, the protection of human health is a matter which has a cross-cutting dimension and is relevant to numerous Union policies and activities. The Union should urge Member States to implement the health-specific country-specific recommendations and support Member States to strengthen the resilience, responsiveness and readiness of healthcare systems in order to address future challenges, including pandemics. In order to achieve a high level of human health protection, and to avoid any overlap of activities, duplication or conflicting actions, the Commission, in liaison with the Member States, should ensure coordination and exchange of information between the mechanisms and structures established under this Regulation, and other mechanisms and structures established at Union level and under the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community (the Euratom Treaty), the activities of which are relevant to the preparedness and response planning, monitoring, early warning of, and combating serious cross-border threats to health. In particular, the Commission should ensure that relevant information from the various rapid alert and information systems at Union level and under the Euratom Treaty is gathered and communicated to the Member States through the Early Warning and Response System (‘EWRS’) set up by Decision No 2119/98/EC.

(7) Prevention, preparedness and response planning are essential elements for effective monitoring, early warning of and combatting serious cross-border threats to health. As such, a Union health crisis and pandemic preparedness plan needs to be established by the Commission and approved by the HSC. This should be coupled with updates to Member States’ prevention, preparedness and response plans so as to ensure they are compatible within the regional level structures. ~~To support Member States in this endeavour, targeted training and knowledge exchange activiti~~Particular attention must be paid to cross- border regions. To support Member States in this endeavour, the Commission and Union agencies should provide targeted training and facilitate the sharing of best practices for healthcare staff and public health staff ~~should be provided~~to improve their knowledge and ensure necessary skills ~~should be provided by the Commission and Union Agencies~~. To ensure the putting into operation and the running of these plans, the Commission should conduct stress tests, exercises and in-action and after-action reviews with Member States. These plans should be coordinated, be functional and updated, and have sufficient resources for their operationalisation. Following stress tests and reviews of the plans, corrective actions should be implemented and the Commission should be kept informed of all updates.

(7 a) Experience from the ongoing COVID-19 crisis has demonstrated that there is a need for a further firmer action at Union level to support cooperation and coordination among the Member States, in particular between neighbouring border regions. The national plans of Member States sharing a border with at least one other Member State must therefore include plans to improve the preparedness, prevention and response to health crises in border areas in neighbouring regions, including through mandatory cross-border training for healthcare staff and coordination exercises for the medical transfer of patients. The Commission should regularly report on the state of play of cross-border crisis preparation in neighbouring regions.

Recital 9

(9) As serious cross-border threats to health are not limited to Union borders, the Union should adopt a coordinated approach in fighting against such threats. The joint procurement of medical countermeasures should, therefore, be extended to include European Free Trade Association States and Union candidate countries, in accordance with the applicable Union legislation. The Joint Procurement Agreement, determining the practical arrangements governing the joint procurement procedure established under Article 5 of Decision No 1082/2013/EU, should also be adapted to include an exclusivity clause regarding negotiation and procurement for participating countries in a joint procurement procedure, to allow for better coordination within the EU. In times of crisis, the Union should also aim to support access to medical countermeasures for Eastern Partnership and low- and middle-income countries. The Commission should ensure coordination and information exchange between the entities organizing any action under different mechanisms established under this Regulation and other relevant Union structures related to procurement and stockpiling of medical countermeasures, such as the strategic rescEU reserve under Decision No 1313/2013/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council16 . The Member States should ensure a sufficient reserve of critical medical products at Member State level to counter the risk of shortages of critical products. _________________ 16Decision No 1313/2013/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on a Union Civil Protection Mechanism (OJ L 347, 20.12.2013, p. 924).

(10) Unlike for communicable diseases, the surveillance of which at Union level is carried out on a permanent basis by the ECDC, other potentially serious cross- border threats to health do not currently necessitate monitoring by EU Agencies. A risk-based approach, whereby monitoring is carried out by Member States and available information is exchanged through EWRS, is therefore more appropriate for such threats. Nevertheless, the ECDC should have the ability to monitor the impact of communicable diseases on non- communicable diseases, including the continuity of screening, diagnosis, monitoring, treatment and care in the healthcare system;

(18) The recognition of public health emergency situations and the legal effects of this recognition provided by Decision No 1082/2013/EU should be broadened. To this end, this Regulation should allow for the Commission to formally recognise a public health emergency at Union level. In order to recognise such an emergency situation, the Commission should establish an independent advisory committee that will provide expertise on whether a threat constitutes a public health emergency at Union level, and advise on public health response measures and on the termination of this emergency recognition. The advisory committee should consist of independent experts and representatives of health and care workers, including nurses and medical doctors, selected by the Commission from the fields of expertise and experience most relevant to the specific threat that is occurring, representatives of the ECDC, of the EMA, and of other Union bodies or agencies as observers. All members of the Advisory Committee should provide declarations of interest in line with the applicable rules in each case. The advisory committee should work in close cooperation with national advisory bodies. Recognition of a public health emergency at Union level will provide the basis for introducing operational public health measures for medical products and medical devices, Union export control mechanisms, flexible mechanisms to develop, procure, manage and deploy medical countermeasures as well as the activation of support from the ECDC to mobilise and deploy outbreak assistance teams, known as ‘EU Health Task Force’.

(6) While Member States are responsible for their health policies, they are expected to protect public health in a spirit of European solidarity8 . Experience from the ongoing COVID-19 crisis has demonstrated that there is a need for a further firm action at Union level to support cooperation and coordination among the Member States and all relevant stakeholders, public, private and civil society, in a structured, regular, manner in order to improve the prevention and control of the spread of severe human diseases across borders, to combat other serious cross- border threats to health and to safeguard the health and well-being of people in the Union. __________________ 8 Communication to the European Parliament, the European Council, the Council, the European Central Bank, the European Investment Bank and the Eurogroup on coordinated economic response to the COVID-19 outbreak, COM(2020)112 final of 13.03.220.

(10) Due to the serious nature of cross- border health threats, the Programme should support coordinated public health measures at Union level to address different aspects of such threats. With a view to strengthen the capability in the Union to prepare for, respond to and manage health crisis the Programme should provide support to the actions taken in the framework of the mechanisms and structures established under Decision No 1082/2013/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council10 and other relevant mechanisms and structures established at Union level. This could include strategic, EU financed and coordinated, stockpiling of essential medical supplies or capacity building in crisis response, preventive measures related to vaccination and immunisation, strengthened surveillance programmes. In this context the Programme should foster Union-wide and cross-sectoral crisis prevention, preparedness, surveillance, management and response capacity of actors at the Union, national, regional and local level, including contingency planning and preparedness exercises, in keeping with the “One Health” approach. It should facilitate the setting up of an integrated cross-cutting risk communication framework working in all phases of a health crisis - prevention, preparedness and response. __________________ 10Decision No 1082/2013/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2013 on serious cross-border threats to health and repealing Decision No 2119/98/EC (OJ L 293, 5.11.2013, p. 1).

(15a) Effective use of Information Technology systems, including AI, in full respect of EU data protection and privacy legal framework, is key to improve regulatory efficiency across Europe; it is also necessary to optimize the European regulatory framework by harmonising regulatory telematics projects with a focus on data quality, interoperability and interdependency of the European regulatory framework, and to ensure a fit for purpose regulatory environment that is a key element to protect public health, provide access to high quality medicines and contribute to the prevention of shortages.

In particular, in order to address unmet medical needs, the Programme should provide support to clinical trials so as to speed up the development, authorisation and access to innovative and effective medicines, promote incentives to develop such medicinal products as antimicrobials and foster the digitial transformation of healthcare products and platforms for unified pan- European monitoring and collecting information on medicines.

Recital 2

(2) The transition to a competitive, climate-neutral and circular economy constitutes one of the most important policy objectives for the Union. On 12 December 2019, the European Council endorsed the objective of achieving a climate-neutral Union by 2050, in line with the objectives of the Paris Agreement. This will require significant new investments, particularly in innovation. While fighting climate change and environmental degradation will benefit all in the long term and provides opportunities and challenges ~~for all~~ in the medium term, not all regions and Member States start their transition from the same point or have the same capacity to respond. Some are more advanced than others, whereas the energy transition entails a wider social and economic impact for those regions that rely heavily on solid fossil fuels - especially coal, lignite, peat and oil shale - or greenhouse gas intensive industries. Such a situation not only creates the risk of a variable speed transition in the Union as regards climate action, but also of growing disparities between regions, detrimental to the objectives of social, economic and territorial cohesion.

(8) Transitioning to a climate-neutral economy is a challenge for all Member States. It will be particularly demanding for those Member States that rely heavily on solid fossil fuels or greenhouse gas intensive industrial activities which need to be phased out or which need to adapt due to the transition towards climate neutrality and that lack the financial means to do so. The JTF should therefore cover all Member States, but the distribution of its financial means should reflect the capacity of Member States to finance the necessary investments to cope with the transition towards climate neutrality.

Recital 10

(10) This Regulation identifies types of investments for which expenditure may be supported by the JTF. All supported activities should be pursued in full respect of the climate and environmental priorities of the Union. The list of investments should include those that support local economies, a~~nd are~~re technologically feasible and sustainable in the long- term, taking into account all the objectives of the Green Deal. The projects financed should contribute to a gradual transition to an innovative, competitive, climate-neutral and circular economy. For dsec~~lining sector~~tors with high CO2 emissions levels, such as energy production based on coal, lignite, peat and oil shale or extraction activities for these solid fossil fuels, support should be linked to the gradual phasing out of the activity and the corresponding reduction in the employment level~~. As regards transforming sectors with high greenhouse gas emission level~~ conducted in cooperation with social partners and within a reasonable timeframe. With the aim of transforming these sectors, support should promote enewrgy efficiency and lower carbon activities through the deployment of new technologies, ~~new processes or products, leading~~the renewable energy sources and investments in the deployment of infrastructure and technology for affordable low emission energy as well as new processes or products. Gas has to be recognised as a bridge technology that needs to play an important role in the transition to a low-emission economy. Further, security of supply must remain intact by technical innovations, including the roll-out of hydrogen which has the potential to become one of the major energy carriers of the 21st century. Such activities should lead to significant life- cycle emission reduction, in the energy system of the territory and be in line with the EU 2030 climate objectives and EU climate neutrality by 205013 while maintaining and enhancing skilled employment ~~and~~, avoiding environmental degradation and enhancing the robustness of an energy system based predominantly on renewable energy sources, including through flexible balancing technologies and storage solutions. Particular attention should also be given to activities enhancing innovation and research in advanced and sustainable technologies, as well as in the fields of digitalisation and connectivity, provided that such measures help mitigate the negative side effects of a transition towards, and contribute to, a competitive, climate- neutral and circular economy. __________________ 13 As set out in “A Clean Planet for all European strategic long-term vision for a prosperous, modern, competitive and climate neutral economy”, Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the European Council, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee, the Committee of the Regions and the European Investment Bank - COM(2018) 773 final.

Recital 12 a (new)

(12a) In order to achieve the objectives of the JTF, the European Commission should consider changes to the Environmental Protection and Energy Aid Guidelines, “EEAG Guidelines”, which are necessary to facilitate private investments and successful implementation of the JTF. A strong state aid framework is needed to prevent that any aid for decarbonisation leads to undue distortions in the internal market. The revision of the EEAG has to accompany the Green Deal, in particular by taking into account recent and new regulatory developments, technological progress and opportunities as well as market evolutions in the energy sector. The planned revision of the EEAG should allow for national support for structural changes due to coal phase-out following the same conditionality as the Just Transition Fund. When revising the guidelines, the Commission should therefore also take into account the problems of structural change in the regions concerned, in order to ensure that these region are given sufficient flexibility to carry out their projects in a socially and economically viable manner.

(15) The territorial just transition plans should identify the territories most negatively affected, where JTF support should be concentrated and describe specific actions to be undertaken to reach a climate-neutral economy, notably as regards the conversion or closure of facilities involving solid fossil fuel production or other greenhouse gas intensive activities , while preserving existing and developing new job opportunities to avoid social exclusion in the affected territories. Those territories should be precisely defined and correspond to NUTS level 3 regions or should be parts thereof. The plans should detail the challenges and needs of those territories and identify the type of operations needed in a manner that ensures the coherent development of climate-resilient economic activities that are also consistent with the transition to climate-neutrality ~~and~~, where possible synergetic with other relevant Union and national funding schemes and programmes, as well as the objectives of the Green Deal. Cannibalisation between schemes should be avoided. Only investments in accordance with the transition plans should receive financial support from the JTF. The territorial just transition plans should be part of the programmes (supported by the ERDF, the ESF+, the Cohesion Fund or the JTF, as the case may be) which are approved by the Commission. The investment guidance identified by the European Commission in Annex D to the Country Reports 2020 should not limit the Member States in proposing new areas and priorities for the JTF support that will contribute to the transition towards EU climate neutrality by 2050.

Recital 19

(19) The objectives of this Regulation, namely to support territories facing economic, energy and social transformation in their transition to a climate-neutral economy, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States alone. The main reasons in this regard are, on the one hand, the disparities between the levels of development of the various territories and the backwardness of the least favoured territories, as well as the limit on the financial resources of the Member States and territories and, on the other hand, the need for a coherent implementation framework covering several Union funds under shared management. Policy coherence with other policies has to be ensured, most notably industrial policy and public procurement rules, with a view to ensuring a level playing field to enable European industry, including SMEs, to produce the sustainable goods and services in line with the Green Deal and to provide jobs. Since those objectives can better be achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 TEU. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives,
