Conclusion of the EU-Viet Nam Free Trade Agreement (Resolution) (A9-0017/2020 - Geert Bourgeois)

Evropská komise je oprávněna uzavírat obchodní dohody s třetími zeměmi. To často není v zájmu členských států a ČR. Obchodní dohoda EU-Vietnam znamená odbourání všech cel v oblasti průmyslových výrobků. Cla jsou příjmem rozpočtu EU.Schválení obchodní dohody EU-Vietnam a zrušení dovozních cel bude průmyslové podniky motivovat k přesunu výrob z EU do Vietnamu. Což znamená rušení pracovních míst v EU, a tudíž i v ČR. Ve Vietnamu jsou řádově nižší platy než v ČR. Vietnamská legislativa neklade tolik složitých a na provádění nákladných požadavků v oblasti ochrany životního prostředí atd. To představuje nekalou konkurenční výhodu a vede k dumpingu.V oblasti zemědělství by podle dohody mělo dojít ke zvýšení bezcelního dovozu některých potravin. Problém to nepředstavuje u rýže, kterou v EU neumíme vypěstovat v dostatečném množství. Ve Vietnamu jsou mnohem méně přísná pravidla pro používání herbicidů a pesticidů v rostlinné výrobě a rovněž pro nasazování antibiotik a hormonů v živočišné výrobě.Návrh této obchodní dohody v oblasti průmyslových výrobků přiznává dovozu z Vietnamu tzv. doložku nejvyšších výhod, jak ji definuje WTO. Tento režim byl mezi ČR a Vietnamem v 90. letech v rámci mezistátní smlouvy. Výrazně přispěl k likvidaci českého textilního průmyslu.

EU-Viet Nam Investment Protection Agreement (A9-0002/2020 - Geert Bourgeois)

Sjednání této dohody je rozšířením působnosti EU, které je provedeno skrytě a v rozporu se Smlouvou o EU a Smlouvou o fungování EU (Lisabonská smlouva). K takovému rozšíření pravomocí EU by byl nutný jednomyslný souhlas Evropské rady.I pokud EP schválí tuto smlouvu, bude k nabytí její účinnosti stejně navíc nutný ratifikační souhlas členských států podle národních ústav. V případě ČR bude nutné, aby ji schválily Poslanecká sněmovna i Senát a podepsal prezident republiky. Půjde však o precedent. EU si tuto pravomoc bude chtít urvat natrvalo pro sebe pro všechny smlouvy o ochraně investic. ČR a Vietnam mají sjednanou platnou mezistátní smlouvu o vzájemné ochraně investic.Smlouva by je ještě více motivovala k přesunu výrob z EU do Vietnamu. Plánovaný budoucí vznik stálého arbitrážního soudu by dal nadnárodním korporacím další zbraň k vydírání států. Firma Adidas by mohla založit dceřinou firmu ve Vietnamu. Pokud by EU zpřísnila např. hygienické požadavky na dovážené sportovní oblečení a boty (např. zákaz ftalátů a agresivních konzervantů na cestu lodí), mohla by dceřiná firma Adidasu žalovat EU o miliardy odškodného. Platil by je rozpočet EU. Ale Brusel by si to zase vybral od členských států.

Objection pursuant to Rule 112: Lead and its compounds (B9-0089/2020)

Nařízení EU o registraci a povolování chemických látek (REACH) zakazuje používání látek v průmyslu. Jednou z těchto látek vyjmenovaných v příloze je i olovo. V tomto případě Komise v nařízení povolila recyklaci PVC tvrzeného pomocí olova. Schválený návrh Výboru pro životní prostředí (ENVI) znamená zrušení nařízení Komise, což by prakticky způsobilo zákaz recyklace PVC tvrzeného pomocí olova. V důsledku takového kroku by bylo nutné miliardy tun plastového odpadu buď skládkovat, nebo spálit a olovo tím uvolnit do ovzduší. To by vedlo k razantnímu zhoršení životního prostředí v EU.Zrušení výjimky a zákaz recyklace PVC tvrzeného olovem je v rozporu s jinými směrnicemi a nařízeními EU, které ukládají povinnost postupně zvyšovat podíl výrobků, který musí být recyklován. Tímto by se ale velká část výrobků stala nerecyklovatelnou. Alternativa zatím technicky neexistuje. Pokud by ihned nebylo možné používat olovo pro tvrzení PVC, výrobky z plastů dodávané na trh by se na světle dříve rozpadaly. To by způsobilo snížení životnosti výrobků z PVC a růst ročního množství plastového odpadu. Schválení usnesení zhoršilo budoucí životní prostředí. Dotykem s plastem se nic do těla nepřenáší. V potravinářství jsou tvrzené plasty obsahující olovo již zakázané.

The illegal trade in companion animals in the EU (B9-0088/2020)

Vypracování rezoluce autoři odůvodnili potřebou boje proti nelegálním množírnám psů a koček, v nichž dochází k týrání zvířat otřesnými životními podmínkami. Návrh usnesení sice obsahuje výzvu členským státům k zákonnému zákazu množíren. ČR již takový zákaz má v zákoně o ochraně zvířat.Návrh rezoluce obsahuje výzvu k zavedení povinnosti označovat čipem všechny psy a kočky. Návrh zavedení povinnosti čipovat všechny psy a kočky je výsledkem lobbingu výrobců čipů. Jde o extrémně nákladnou záležitost. Pro starší lidi v důchodovém věku, kteří chovají psa nebo kočku pro radost, by to při ceně 1 500 až 2 000 Kč za čip a jeho zavedení veterinářem byl příliš vysoký výdaj. Chov psa nebo kočky je pro staré – zejména osaměle žijící lidi – důležitý pro zachování jejich psychické pohody i tělesného zdraví. Zavedení povinnosti čipovat všechny kočky a psy by ohrozilo existenci útulků pro zvířata. Zvýšené náklady na čipování by způsobily omezení množství zvířat zachráněných útulky.Zavedení čipů by přitom nijak nezabránilo existenci nelegálních množíren psů a koček. Stejně jako zavedení čipů u lidí nezabrání vraždám, které jsou trestné stejně jako týrání zvířat, a přesto jsou některými lidmi páchány.

Escalating tensions in Varosha following the illegal actions by Turkey and the urgent need for the resumption of talks (B9-0355/2020)

Proč jsem hlasoval proti návrhu EP o Varoše? Varoša leží jižně od přístavu Famagusta na okraji tzv. Severokyperské republiky uznávané jen Tureckem, která vznikla v roce 1974 tureckou okupací. Turistická zóna Varoša se po okupaci stala „uzavřenou oblastí“. Třicet tisíc převážně řeckých obyvatel bylo vystěhováno, domy a hotely chátrají. Do Varoši podle platných dohod nemá nikdo přístup, ale v říjnu ji provokativně navštívil turecký prezident Erdogan, a tím dal najevo pohrdání mezinárodními dohodami. Tato událost byla v médiích označována jako „piknik ve Varoše“.Turecko se v posledních letech chová stále agresivněji a bezohledněji. Podporovalo tzv. Islámský stát v Sýrii, okupuje území na severu Sýrie, z nichž vyhání Kurdy, útočilo na východní hranici Řecka, provádí průzkum podmořských nalezišť zemního plynu v řeckých výsostných vodách, zúčastnilo se ázerbájdžánského dobývání Náhorního Karabachu, otevřeně proklamuje úmysl ovládnout rozsáhlá území cizích států atd. Naše frakce Identita a demokracie i mými ústy prosazovala sankce proti Turecku a přerušení přístupových rozhovorů do Evropské unie. Činila tak i v tomto případě. Evropský parlament se však rozhodl náš návrh neprojednávat a místo něj všechny ostatní frakce vytvořily záměrně zcela bezzubý protinávrh, který pouze vyjadřuje „znepokojení“, „odsuzuje“, „vybízí“, „vyzývá“ a „zdůrazňuje“. Záměrně nenavrhuje žádné účinné konkrétní kroky. Proto jsem hlasoval proti.

A WTO-compatible EU carbon border adjustment mechanism (A9-0019/2021 - Yannick Jadot)

Hlasoval jsem proti návrhu, protože jednak nesouhlasím s principem zavedení platby za vypouštění uhlíku, kterou by měli platit všichni výrobci a tato daň či uhlíkové clo by bylo příjmem EU, dokonce s označením „vlastní příjem“. Nesouhlasím, aby EU zvyšovala svoje příjmy na úkor obyvatel států EU, protože plátci by promítli zvýšené náklady do cen výrobků. EU by ze zvýšených příjmů dále financovala neodůvodněné výdaje. Pro členské státy by výběr představoval další zatížení o náklady na výběr finančními úřady. Představa, že by s návrhem souhlasili všichni ministři financí členských států WTO je neodůvodněná, a proto naivní. Smlouva by následně musela být ratifikována parlamenty členských států WTO, každý jednotlivý stát má právo veta. Více než deset let se proto žádnou novou smlouvu nepodařilo uzavřít. Rozhodně by nesouhlasily státy, které nejsou signatáři Pařížské dohody nebo Kjótského protokolu, např. Čína. Pokus o obejití dohody by byl sankcionován vysokými pokutami. Poškození vývozci by praxi napadli žalobou s požadavkem na obrovskou náhradu škody. Návrh by vedl ke zrychlení delokalizace do Číny a dalších zemí.

Equal treatment in employment and occupation in light of the UNCRPD (A9-0014/2021 - Katrin Langensiepen)

Hlasoval jsem proti návrhu, protože jde o deklaraci s prohlášeními a výzvami, které nejsou vynutitelné. Současně jsem přesvědčen, že lidé mají být odměňováni podle kvality a množství práce (až na některé výjimky, například chráněné dílny). Pokládám za zásadně nepřijatelné odměňování podle příslušnosti k jakémukoli pohlaví. Žádné pohlaví nepokládám za kvalifikační předpoklad pro jakoukoli volenou nebo jmenovanou funkci. Ze stejného důvodu nesouhlasím s kvótami, například pro „rozmanitost na pracovišti s cílem vytvořit inkluzivní pracoviště“, a dokonce se sankcemi pro podniky za jejich nesplnění. Podmínky pro začleňování osob se zdravotním postižením tak, jak je ustanoveno a prováděno v ČR, pokládám za zcela přiměřené. Ze zásady „odměňování podle množství a kvality práce“, nepokládám za „diskriminaci“, pokud se pro nedostatečný výkon neuplatní lidé náležející k jakékoli víře, věku nebo sexuální orientace. Za diskriminaci lze právem pokládat případy, kdy jsou pro svoji odlišnost vylučováni, ačkoli není zkušenost nebo oprávněný předpoklad, že výkonu nedosáhnou. Pokud jsou občany, musejí mít zaručena politická a sociální práva v souladu se zákonem konkrétního státu. Návrh pokládám za pokrytecký.

Objection pursuant to Rule 112(2) and (3): Active substances, including dimoxystrobin (B9-0162/2021)

Hlasoval jsem proti návrhu výboru ENVI na okamžitý zákaz některých účinných látek. Výbor ENVI se chová aktivisticky a žádá zákaz některých látek proto, že pokládá dvouleté přezkoumávání eventuální škodlivosti za příliš dlouhotrvající. Tento postup nelze omluvit „předběžnou opatrností“, jestliže nebyly škodlivé důsledky používání stanoveným způsobem prokázány. Návrh prošel, což bude mít značné důsledky pro ochranu rostlin, a není možné to odůvodnit způsobenými škodami, protože není předepsaným způsobem doloženo, že k nim dochází.

The Syrian conflict - 10 years after the uprising (B9-0175/2021, B9-0176/2021, B9-0177/2021, B9-0178/2021, B9-0179/2021, B9-0180/2021, B9-0181/2021)

Hlasoval jsem proti návrhu, protože předložený výklad konfliktu v Sýrii pokládám za naprosto zkreslený. Z toho důvodu jsem hlasoval pro pozměňovací návrhy jak frakce Identita a demokracie, tak i frakce Levice. Islámský stát i tzv. demokratická opozice byly podporovány za účelem rozvrácení Sýrie jako státu. Navíc Islámský stát, který byl zcela jednoznačně teroristickou organizací a zcela jasně se dopouštěl genocidy, byl zcela prokazatelně podporován Tureckem, který je členem NATO a se kterým dokonce stále vede Evropská unie přístupové rozhovory o přijetí do Evropské unie. Z toho důvodu pokládám tuto rezoluci za krajně pokryteckou a mimořádně ostudnou a není dobrým vysvědčením pro Evropský parlament, že tato rezoluce byla velkou většinou přijata.

The impacts of climate change on vulnerable populations in developing countries (A9-0115/2021 - Mónica Silvana González)

Hlasoval jsem proti zprávě o dopadech změny klimatu na zranitelné obyvatelstvo v rozvojových zemích (A9-0115/2021). Ve zprávě se totiž hovoří o ničení biotopů, aniž by byly popsány příčiny tohoto jevu, kterými jsou zejména naprosto nepřiměřená exploatace přírodních zdrojů jednak v důsledku populačního vývoje s neúměrným zatížením životního prostředí, jednak v důsledku likvidace původní vegetace za účelem pěstování monokultur plodin pro vývoz do značné míry právě do Evropské unie. Domorodé obyvatelstvo v těchto zemích je nejen obětí, ale i pachatelem značných škod. Místní populace nejsou schopny samy regulovat poměr mezi přírůstkem obyvatelstva a disponibilními zdroji. Podpora exportu jako důsledek poptávky z rozvinutých zemí vede k záboru další půdy a vyhánění drobných zemědělců z jejich pozemků. Vyhrocená sociální situace pak vede k ozbrojeným konfliktům, které dále zhoršují situaci. Ochrana ohrožených populací není možná bez regulace porodnosti a přísných zásahů proti poškozování životního prostředí, zejména tropických lesů. Podpora emigrace není reálným řešením problému.

Human rights protection and the EU external migration policy (A9-0060/2021 - Tineke Strik)

Hlasoval jsem proti zprávě o ochraně lidských práv a vnější migrační politice (A9-0060/2021), protože neřeší situaci lidí prchajících z oblastí ohrožených válkou, klimatickými změnami a podobně, ale zcela neadekvátním způsobem se snaží reagovat na následky včetně těch, které působí bývalé koloniální velmoci sami svojí pokračující politikou následující po rozbití národních komunit, které byly schopny se samy regulovat. Snaha stěhovat ohrožené osoby do zemí Evropské unie řeší situaci malého procenta potřebných, kteří současně patří k aktivní části populace schopné řešit domácí problémy, dostane-li příležitost. Je nutné řešit příčiny krizových jevů ve třetích zemích, a to v prvé řadě jejich nezhoršováním, například dodávkou zbraní, dovozem produktů kvůli nimž je narušována biosféra apod. Argumentace o náhradě vymírajícího evropského obyvatelstva je neadekvátní, protože ji lze řešit propopulační politikou a současně lze napomáhat omezování růstu populace komunit, kterým se nedostává zdrojů na pokrytí jejich potřeb. Současně je nepřijatelné bránit členským státům v uplatňování vlastní azylové politiky.

2019-2020 Reports on Turkey (A9-0153/2021 - Nacho Sánchez Amor)

Hlasoval jsem pro přijetí zprávy ke zprávám Komise o Turecku za léta 2019–2020 (A9-0153/2021), ačkoli se většina členů frakce ID hlasování zdržela nebo byla proti s výjimkou členů SPD, a to i přesto, že se hlásím k názoru, že přístupové rozhovory s Tureckem by měly být ukončeny, protože není reálný předpoklad, že by Turecko změnilo svoji nepřátelskou politiku k některým zemím Evropské unie, například k Řecku a Kypru. A dokonce proklamuje nárok na velkou část ostrovů v Egejském moři. Současně Turecko vystupuje agresivně také proti Sýrii a aktivně se účastnilo agresivní války na straně Ázerbájdžánu, kam dodávalo zbraně a vojenské experty. Zpráva se však staví k Turecku velmi kriticky zejména v oblasti občanských práv, například ve vztahu k médiím a k národnostním menšinám, například Kurdům. Turecko vězní legálně zvolené představitele obcí, další politiky demokratické opozice, studenty, účastníky pokojných demonstrací, učitele a veřejně činné osoby. Zpráva současně konstatuje znepokojení z vysoké míry korupce. Rovněž zpráva konstatuje znepokojení z narůstání ultranacionalismu, jemuž se dostává podpory od nejvyšších představitelů země.

New Avenues for Legal Labour Migration (A9-0143/2021 - Sylvie Guillaume)

Hlasoval jsem proti zprávě o nových způsobech legální migrace pracovních sil (A9-0143/2021). Smyslem zprávy je povzbudit Evropskou komisi k novelizaci směrnic (například o „modré kartě“) s cílem zesílit, urychlit a legalizovat ekonomickou imigraci pod záminkou naléhavé potřeby pracovních sil. Zdůrazňuje se, že doposud byla snaha přilákat do zemí EU pracovníky s vysokou kvalifikací, nyní to mají být lidé s nízkou kvalifikací. Mají být podporovány „bezpečné cesty“ do EU a je snaha překážet členským státům k odmítání takové migrace bez ohledu na to, zda mají o migranty zájem nebo ne. Má být podporována také imigrace rodin ekonomických uprchlíků pod záminkou podpory integrace. Tato politika povede ke zvýšení nezaměstnanosti a nákladů na sociální výdaje a k velkému tlaku na mzdy zaměstnanců s nejnižšími mzdami a ohroženými nezaměstnaností. Zpráva zcela ignoruje skutečnost, že příval zaměstnanců z třetích zemí zcela změní sociální a kulturní prostředí zemí Evropské unie a prohloubí konflikty s původním obyvatelstvem. Zejména z Afriky bude odcházet nejaktivnější část obyvatelstva a tím ochuzovat vlastní domácí komunitu o kvalifikované a aktivní jedince. Současně zpráva naprosto rezignuje na podporu porodnosti v zemích EU a fakticky připravuje výměnu obyvatelstva EU.

EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030: Bringing nature back into our lives (A9-0179/2021 - César Luena)

Hlasoval jsem proti tomuto návrhu, protože v obecné rovině stanovuje ambiciózní cíle, projevuje znepokojení a konstatuje nepříznivý stav přírody s tím, že stanovuje cíle, jichž má být dosaženo v procentech a naprosto nebere ohled na velmi různé podmínky v různých zemích. Tento administrativní přístup připomíná usnesení stranických sjezdů v bývalých socialistických zemích, kde byly voluntaristicky stanoveny cíle tak, aby mohly výt formálně kontrolovány. Vedle toho jsou plánovány výdaje na dosažení cílů, aniž by existovaly konkrétní projekty, aby bylo možno náklady objektivizovat. Vyčleněné prostředky jsou pak „spotřebovány“ na projekty vytvořené ex post. Za správný postup pokládám zpracování konkrétních projektů na základě vědecké analýzy a následný kvalifikovaný odhad stanoví potřebné výdaje. Kromě toho zpráva povede Komisi k zasahování do kompetence členských států a realizace povede k poškození zemědělské výroby, aniž by to prospělo biodiverzitě. Závažná je též neochota uznat nepřiměřenost tolerance velkých masožravých šelem v hustě osídlené kulturní krajině (bod 186), kdy jediným řešením má být úhrada škod.
2021/06/08
75th and the 76th sessions of the United Nations General Assembly (A9-0173/2021 - María Soraya Rodríguez Ramos)

Hlasoval jsem proti, protože zpráva usiluje o potlačení sebeurčení států EU snahou rozhodovat za ně bez ohledu na jejich zájmy. Odmítám take vnucování. Nesouhlasím se záměry reformy OSN, zejména složení Rady bezpečnosti, a zrušení principu práva veta, které by svět přivedlo k prohloubení rizika další světové války. Nepokládám možnost svobodně a nezávisle se vyjádřit za ohrožení demokracie, naopak ho pokládám za podmínku demokracie. Činnost nejvlivnějších států světa naprosto nesměřuje v rozporu s deklarací ve zprávě k „vymýcení chudoby… k míru a stabilitě.“ Právě naopak. Nepokládám státy, které se chovají agresivně a vnucují vojenskými prostředky nebo podporou diverzních skupin svoji vůli jiným za „národy svobodného světa“. Diverzní skupiny financované ze zahraničí jsou označovány jako „vnitřní opozice“ a mají být nedotknutelné. „Prosazování lidských práv“ rozhodně nepokládám za „nestranné“, naopak je systematicky používán dvojí metr. Stejně je to se „zločiny proti lidskosti“. Víme, že v Náhorním Karabachu byla užita kazetová munice a ve Vrběticích skladovány zakázané pěchotní miny. Návrh se vyslovuje pro podporu migrace, aniž by byly řešeny její příčiny, mezi které patří i aktivity některých států EU. Nevěřím na objektivitu Mezinárodního trestního soudu, a proto se nedivím, že některé státy od něj odstupují. OSN se stále více stává mocenským nástrojem jedné skupiny států a potlačování zájmů jiných namísto prostředkem řešení mezinárodních konfliktů.

The conflict of interest of the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic (B9-0303/2021)

Zdržel jsem se hlasování podobně jako většina členů frakce Identita a demokracie v tomto případě a v podobných případech, kde dochází k zasahování do kompetencí členských států. Zde se rovněž jedná o účelové usnesení, které je protlačováno hlavními politickými konkurenty předsedy vlády ve snaze dosáhnout předčasných voleb nebo odstoupení premiéra. Pokud došlo ke zneužití pravomoci premiéra, je nutné, aby se tím zabývaly nezávislé orgány činné v trestním řízení příslušného státu. Absence jejich nezávislosti nebyla prokázána. SPD jako politické hnutí působící v ČR sdílí znepokojení z podezření ze zneužití pravomoci premiéra, ale odmítá zasahování Evropského parlamentu do vnitřních záležitostí země.

Strengthening the CO2 emission performance targets for new heavy-duty vehicles (A9-0313/2023 - Bas Eickhout)

Po konzultaci s odborníky z výroby náklaďáků a autobusů jsem hlasoval pro zmírnění obdoby Euro 7 pro nákladní vozidla. V závěrečném hlasování jsem hlasoval proti, protože dokonce neprošly pozměňovací návrhy. Norma bude znamenat velkou finanční zátěž pro provozovatele těchto vozidel. Rozhodně nepotřebujeme zdražovat dopravu potravin do obchodů ani dopravu dětí do škol a dospělých do práce.

Sustainable use of plant protection products (A9-0339/2023 - Sarah Wiener)

Hlasoval jsem proti návrhu této zprávy, protože omezování využívání chemických přípravků na ochranu rostlin zašlo příliš daleko a ohrožuje potravinovou bezpečnost a soběstačnost jednotlivých unijních zemí. Chemické přípravky jsou jednostranně vnímány jako zlo, a to často pod záminkou „předběžné opatrnosti“, aniž by bylo prokázáno, že jsou při správném praktickém použití nebezpečné. Naopak např. rostliny s obsahem plísní mohou být pro zdraví mnohem nebezpečnější než vhodně použitý fungicid. Současně dochází k dovozu zemědělských komodit do EU ze zemí, v nichž se s pesticidy zachází způsobem, který je i podle současných pravidel v EU nepřípustný. Navržené postupy jsou navíc extrémně administrativně náročné.V hlasovaném návrhu neprošly klíčové pozměňovací návrhy, které by zprávu učinily přijatelnou. Neprošly žádné návrhy Výboru pro zemědělství a rozvoj venkova. Z toho důvodu jsem hlasoval proti návrhu zprávy, která nakonec byla malou většinou zamítnuta a odmítnuto bylo i její další projednávání ve výboru a interinstitucionálním dialogu. Obojí k obecnému překvapení a k radosti na pravé straně jednacího sálu.

Packaging and packaging waste (A9-0319/2023 - Frédérique Ries)

Hlasoval jsem proti návrhu této zprávy, protože je neúměrně ambiciózní. Lze souhlasit se snahou o recyklaci obalů a uplatnění oběhového hospodářství, ale je nutné přihlédnout k nákladům spojeným se sběrem a čistěním obalů před opětovným použitím, které mohou být neúměrné a příliš prodražovat ceny potravin. Současně se žádá maximální možnost nákupu potravin do vlastních spotřebiteli přinesených obalů. Tyto požadavky rovně narážejí na hygienické požadavky. Návrh byl přijat dvoutřetinovou většinou.
2023/11/22
Proposals of the European Parliament for the amendment of the Treaties (A9-0337/2023 - Guy Verhofstadt, Sven Simon, Gabriele Bischoff, Daniel Freund, Helmut Scholz)

Hlasoval jsem proti návrhu, protože jednoznačně směřuje k vytvoření unitárního státu z Evropské unie, potlačuje zbytky svrchovanosti členských států, podporuje imigraci, genderovou ideologii a hlavně militarizaci EU vytvořením společné armády. Podporuje rovněž další rozšíření kompetencí EU o oblast zdravotnictví, daňové politiky a bezvýhradné zavedení společné měny. Současně počítá se zrušením práva veta a většinovým hlasováním o všech otázkách. Počítá rovněž s nepřijatelnými změnami voleb do Evropského parlamentu a dalších orgánů. Takové pojetí Evropské unie prostřednictvím změny Smluv je pro mne a frakci Identita a demokracie nepřijatelné.Návrh prošel nepatrnou většinou 291 proti 274 hlasům. Za ČR hlasovali pro návrh jen poslankyně Maxová (ČSSD) a Piráti.
2023/11/22
Negotiations on a status agreement on operational activities carried out by Frontex in Mauritania (A9-0358/2023 - Tineke Strik)

Hlasoval jsem proti návrhu, protože natolik omezuje samostatné rozhodování a kompetence jednotek Frontex, že je prakticky vyřazuje z činnosti tak, že nemohou plnit své úkoly při ochraně Evropské unie před přílivem uprchlíků ze západní Afriky. Dokument je sice omezen na Mauritánii, ale je zřejmé, že stejně má být kompetence agentury Frontex omezena všude.Návrh prošel dvoutřetinovou většinou.

Recital 9
(9) Within the context of the European Green Deal, the Farm to Fork Strategy and the Biodiversity Strategy, and in accordance with the target of achieving 25% of EU agricultural land under organic farming by 2030 and a significant increase in organic aquaculture and with the Action Plan on the Development of Organic Production (COM(2021) 141), organic farming and organic production need to be developed further. As regards Regulation (EU) 2018/848 of the European Parliament and of the Council73 , this Directive should not apply to environmental claims on organically certified products substantiated on the basis of that Regulation, related, for instance, to the use of pesticides, fertilisers and anti-microbials or, for instance, to positive impacts of organic farming on biodiversity, soil or water74 unless the comparative explicit claim relates to a product complying with the requirements of Regulation 2018/848 vis-à-vis a like- product which does not fall within the scope of that Regulation. It also has a positive impact on biodiversity, it creates jobs and attracts young farmers. Consumers recognise its value. In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2018/848, the terms “bio” and “eco” and their derivatives, whether alone or in combination, are only to be used in the Union for products, their ingredients or feed materials that fall under the scope of that Regulation where they have been produced in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2018/848. For instance, in order to call the cotton “eco”, it has to be certified as organic, as it falls within the scope of Regulation (EU) 2018/848. On the contrary, if the dishwasher detergent is called “eco”, this does not fall within the scope of Regulation (EU) 2018/848, and is instead regulated by the provisions of Directive 2005/29/EC. __________________ 73 Regulation (EU) 2018/848 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 on organic production and labelling of organic products and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 (OJ L 150, 14.6.2018, p. 1). 74 https://agriculture.ec.europa.eu/system/files /2023-01/agri-market-brief-20-organic- farming-eu_en_1.pdf

(16) The assessment made to substantiate explicit environmental claims needs to consider the full or partial life- cycle of the product or of the overall activities of the trader and should not omit any relevant environmental aspects or environmental impacts, taking into consideration long-term business strategies, and all positive externalities of all production systems. The benefits claimed should not result in an unjustified transfer of negative impacts to other stages of the life cycle of a product or trader, or to the creation or increase of other negative environmental impacts.

Amendment 23 #

2023/0085(COD)

Proposal for a directive
Recital 19
(19) It would be misleading to consumers if an explicit environmental claim pointed to the benefits in terms of environmental impacts or environmental aspects while omitting that the achievement of those benefits leads to negative trade-offs on other environmental impacts or environmental aspects. To this end the information used to substantiate explicit environmental claims should ensure that the interlinkages between the relevant environmental impacts and between environmental aspects and environmental impacts can be identified along with potential trade-offs. The assessment used to substantiate explicit environmental claims should identify if improvements on environmental impacts or environmental aspects lead to the kind of trade-offs that significantly worsen the performance as regards other environmental impacts or environmental aspects, for example if savings in water consumption lead to a notable increase in greenhouse gas emissions, or in the same environmental impact in another life-cycle stage of the product, for example CO2 savings in the stage of manufacturing leading to a notable increase of CO2 emissions in the use phase. For example, a claim on positive impacts from efficient use of resources in intensive agricultural practices may mislead consumers due to trade-offs linked to impacts on biodiversity, ecosystems or animal welfare. An environmental claim on textiles containing plastic polymer from recycled PET bottles may also mislead consumers as to the environmental benefit of that aspect if the use of this recycled polymer competes with the closed-loop recycling system for food contact materials which is considered more beneficial from the perspective of circularity.

(22) Traders are more and more interested in making environmental claims related to future environmental performance of a product or trader, including by joining initiatives that are promoting practices which could be conducive to a reduced environmental impact or to more circularity. These claims should be substantiated in line with the rules applicable to all explicit environmental claims and may include a time-bound aspiration for improvements inside own operations and value chains.

Recital 28
(28) When setting up the requirements for substantiation and communication and verification of explicit environmental claims, including by delegated acts adopted by the Commission, the difficulties that traders may encounter in gathering information from actors throughout their value chain or on the product’s overall life- cycle, especially for services or where there is insufficient scientific evidence, should be taken into account. This is important for example for services such as electronic communications services, for which it can be difficult to define the scope and system boundaries, e.g. where the life- cycle starts and where it finishes and even more where supply chains are complex and not stable, e.g. in cases where many equipment or components are manufactured by a multitude of enterprises outside the EU, and thus sustainability related information might not be easily accessible to EU traders concerned.

Amendment 41 #

2023/0085(COD)

Proposal for a directive
Recital 32
(32) The Commission Recommendation (EU) 2021/2279 contains guidance on how to measure the life cycle environmental performance of specific products or organisations and how to develop Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules (PEFCRs) and Organisation Environmental Footprint Sectorial Rules (OEFSRs) that allow comparison of products to a benchmark. Such category rules for specific products or traders can be used to support the substantiation of claims in line with the requirements of this Directive. Therefore, the Commission should be empowered to adopt delegated acts to establish product group or sector specific rules where this may have added value. However, in case the Product Environmental Footprint method does not yet cover an impact category, which is relevant for a product group, the adoption of PEFCR may take place only once these new relevant environmental impact categories have been added. For example, as regards marine fisheries, the PEFCR should for example reflect the fisheries- specific environmental impact categories, in particular the sustainability of the targeted stock. Concerning space, the PEFCR should reflect defence and space- specific environmental impact categories, including the orbital space use. As regards food and agricultural products, biodiversity and nature protection, as well as farming practices, including positive externalities of extensive farming and animal welfaredifferent farming methods and forest management practices, should, for example, also be integrated before the adoption of PEFCR could be considered. As regards textiles, the PEFCR should for example reflect the microplastics release, before the adoption of PEFCR could be considered.

(35) In order to facilitate consumers’ choices of more sustainable products and to incentivise efforts of traders to lower their environmental impacts, when the claim communicated relates to future environmental performance, it should as a priority be based on improvements inside trader’s own operations and value chains rather than relying on offsetting of greenhouse has emissions or other environmental impacts. Thus, allowing for communication on long-term business strategies.

(60) When competent authorities detect an infringement of requirements of this Directive they should carry out an evaluation and based on its results notify the trader about the infringement detected and require that corrective actions are taken by the trader. To minimise the misleading effect on consumers of the non- compliant explicit environmental claim or non-compliant environmental labelling scheme, the trader should be required by the competent authorities to take an effective and rapid action to remediate that infringement. The corrective action required should be proportionate to the infringement detected, the size of the company and its expected harmful effects on the consumers.

The measures for infringements foreseen by the Member States should therefore also include confiscation of the relevant product from the trader or revenues gained from the transactions affected by this infringement or a temporary exclusions or prohibitions from placingtemporary exclusions of the products or making available services on from the Union market. The gravity of the infringement should be the leading criterion for the measures taken by the enforcement authorities. The maximum amount of fines should be dissuasive and set at least at the level of 4% of the trader’s total annual turnover in the Member State or Member States concerned in case of widespread infringements with a Union dimension that are subject to coordinated investigation and enforcement measures in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/239488 . __________________ 88 Regulation (EU) 2017/2394 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2017 on cooperation between national authorities responsible for the enforcement of consumer protection laws and repealing Regulation (EC) No 2006/2004 (OJ L 345, 27.12.2017, p. 1).

Class II low-entry buses with interurban mission profiles are used in interurban missions and should therefore not be subject to the ZEV mandate requirements. Therefore, vehicle groups 31-L2 (2-axle class II low entry) and 33-L2 (3-axle class II low entry) should be moved from the group of vehicles which fall under the zero- emission mandate (“MZE”) to the group of vehicles that are subject to CO2 reduction targets (“MCO2”). The impact in terms of CO2 emissions is very low because vehicle groups 31-L2 and 33-L2 have an overall emission share of all commercial vehicles of approximately 1%.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 32
(32) It is essential that Member States establish and maintain systems of both initial and follow-up training for distributors, advisors and professional users of plant protection products and certification systems to record and provide proof of such training, in order to ensure that those operators are fully aware of the potential risks to human health and the environment and of the appropriate measures to reduce those risks as much as possible. A proof of training could either be provided as a certificate of training or a proof of entry in a central electronic register. The training for advisors should be more extensive than that of distributors and professional users since they need to be able to support the proper implementation of integrated pest management and crop- specific rules. The use or purchase of a plant protection product authorised for professional use must be limited to persons in possession of a training certificate. In addition and distribution of plant protection products authorised for professional use must be limited to distributors who have available staff in possession of a training certificate to provide adequate responses to purchasers of plant protection products on their use, related health and environmental risks and the appropriate safety instructions to manage those risks. In addition, advice on the use of plant protection products to a professional user may only be provided by persons in possession of a training certificate. Also, in order to ensure safe use of plant protection products for human health and the environment, distributors should be required to provide both professional and non-professional purchasers of plant protection products with product specific information at point of sale.

Recital 33
(33) In order to ensure a planned approach to harmful organism control techniques across a number of growing seasons with a view to minimising the use of chemical plant protection products as much as possible and to ensure a proper implementation of integrated pest management, professional users should be required to regularly consult trained, independent advisors on pest management, so that plant protection products are only used as a last resort. Such consultation might, for example, take the form of a visit to a farm or a remote or in-person meeting with a group of professional users facing similar agronomic challenges. To achieve these aims, professional users should have access to the best quality strategic advice. Therefore, independent advisors should be impartial and free of any direct or indirect conflict of interest such as might arise if an advisor was engaged in commercial sales of plant protection products and directly profiting from those sales or if an advisor was regularly engaged as a consultant for a commercial operation selling plant protection products.

(4) Rearing of pigs, and poultry and cattle cause significant 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 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.

It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level, and that those consultations be conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement on Better Law-Making of 13 April 201677 . In particular, to ensure equal participation in the preparation of delegated acts, the European Parliament and the Council receive all documents at the same time as Member States' experts, and their experts systematically have access to meetings of Commission expert groups dealing with the preparation of delegated acts. __________________ 77 Interinstitutional Agreement between the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union and the European Commission on Better Law-Making; OJ L 123, 12.5.2016, p. 1–14.

Recital 25
(25) Information on the presence of substances of concern in products is a key element to identify and promote products that are sustainable. The chemical composition of products determines largely their functionalities and impacts, as well as the possibilities for their re-use or for recovery once they become waste. The Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability64 calls for minimising the presence of substances of concern in products, and ensuring the availability of information on chemical content and safe use, by introducing information requirements and tracking the presence of substances of concern throughout the life cycle of materials and products. Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council65 and other existing chemicals legislation such as Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 already ensure communication on hazards to health or the environment posed by certain substances of concern on their own or in a mixture. Users of substances and mixtures should also be informed about pertinent sustainability- related information not primarily related to hazards to health or the environment. Furthermore, users of products other than substances or mixtures, and managers of waste from such products, should also receive sustainability-related information, including information primarily related to chemicals’ hazards to health or the environment. Therefore, this Regulation should allow for the setting of requirements related to the tracking and communication of sustainability information, including the presence of substances of concern in products throughout their life cycle, within the scope of the Reference Document on the best available techniques (BAT BREF) in each product manufacturing sector, including with a view to their decontamination and recovery when they become waste. Such a framework should aim to progressively cover all substances of concern in all products listed in working plans setting out the product groups the Commission intends to tackle. __________________ 64 Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability Towards a Toxic-Free Environment COM(2020)667 final. 65 Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures, amending and repealing Directives 67/548/EEC and 1999/45/EC, and amending Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (OJ L 353, 31.12.2008, p. 1).

(19) Where harmonised standards lay down the rules for the assessment of performances with regard to essential characteristics relevant for the construction codes of Member States, harmonised standards should be rendered mandatory for purpose of application of this Regulation, as only such standards reach the goal of permitting the free circulation of products, whilst ensuring the Member States’ ability to request safety and environmental, including climate-related, product characteristics in view of their specific national situation. When pursued together, these two goals require that products are assessed by a single assessment method, therefore the method needs to be mandatory. However, voluntary standards can be used to make product requirements, specified for the relevant product family or category by Delegated Acts, even more concrete, following the path of Decision 768/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council. In line with Decision 768/2008, those standards should be able to provide a presumption of conformity with the requirements covered by them.

Recital 20
(20) In order to contribute to the objectives of the European Green Deal and the Circular Economy Action Plan, and to ensure safe construction products, safety being one of the goals to be pursued in the legislation based on Article 114 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), inherent product requirements related to safety, functionality and protection of environment, including climate, are necessary. When setting these requirements, the Commission should take into account their potential contribution to achieving Union climate, environmental and energy efficiency objectives. These requirements do not merely relate to the performance of construction products. Contrary to its predecessor Directive 89/106/EC, Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011 does not provide for the possibility to establish such inherent product requirements. However, certain harmonised standards for construction products contain such inherent product requirements which can relate to environment, to safety or simply to the good functioning of the product. These standards demonstrate that there is a practical need for such requirements on safety, the environment or simply the functioning of products. Article 114 TFEU as the legal base of this Regulation also imposes the pursuit of a high level of protection of the environment, health and human safety. Thus, this Regulation should (re-)introduce or validate inherent product requirements. Whilst tThese requirements need to be laid down by the legislator, there is a need for specifying them for the more than 30 product families, each with several categories. Hence, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission to specify the requirements for the respective construction product family or category.

The Commission shall adopt implementing acts, containing provisions on establishing and maintaining a publicly accessible electronic register of designation of origins and geographical indications protected under this Regulation (the ‘Union register of geographical indications’). 2. The Union register as referred to in paragraph 1 shall be developed, kept up- to-date and maintained by the EUIPO for the management of geographical indications protected under this Regulation. 3. Designations of origin and geographical indications concerning products from third countries that are protected in the Union under an international agreement to which the Union is a contracting party may be entered in the Union register of geographical indications. The Commission shall register such designations of origin or geographical indications by means of implementing acts. Unless specifically identified in those agreements as protected designations of origin, the names of such products shall be entered in the Union register of geographical indications as protected geographical indications. 4. Each designation of origin or geographical indication shall be entered in the Union register of geographical indications in its original script. Where the original script is not in Latin characters, the designation of origin or geographical indication shall be transcribed in Latin characters and both versions of the designation of origin or geographical indication shall be entered in the Union register of geographical indications and shall have equal status. 5. The Commission shall make public and in the event of changes, update the list of the international agreements referred to in paragraph (3) as well as the list of geographical indications protected under those agreements. 6.

Proposal for a regulation
Article 81 – paragraph 1 – point 3 c (new)
Regulation (EU) 1308/2013
Article 105
(3c) Article 105 is replaced by the following: 1. A recognised producer group may apply for the approval of an amendment to the product specification of a registered designation of origin or geographical indication. Where such a group does not exist, a producer group having a legitimate interest or, in exceptional and duly justified cases, an individual producer which is the only producer of the designation of origin or geographical indication may submit an application to amend a product specification. Producers may only submit an application to amend the specification for the designation of origin or geographical indication product they produce. 2. Amendments to a product specification shall be classified into two categories: (a) Union amendments, requiring an objection procedure at Union level; and (b) standard amendments to be dealt with at Member State or third country level. For the purposes of this Regulation, an amendment shall be a Union amendment if it entails a change of the single document and: (a) includes a change in the name of the protected designation of origin or the protected geographical indication; or (b) entails further restrictions on the marketing of the product. Any other amendment to a product specification of a registered geographical indication, that is not a Union amendment in accordance with this paragraph, shall be considered as a standard amendment. ‘Temporary amendment’ means a standard amendment concerning a temporary change in the product specification resulting from the imposition of obligatory sanitary and phytosanitary measures by the public authorities or linked to the consequences of natural disasters or adverse weather conditions or the consequences of an exceptional geopolitical event formally recognised by the competent authorities. 3. Union amendments shall be assessed and approved by the Commission. The approval procedure shall follow the procedure laid down in Article 94 and Articles 96 to 99, mutatis mutandis. Applications for approval of Union amendments submitted by third countries or by third country producer groups or in exceptional and duly justified case an individual producer in a third country shall contain proof that the requested amendment complies with the laws on the protection of designations of origin or geographical indications in force in that third country. Applications for approval of Union amendments shall relate exclusively to Union amendments. If an application for a Union amendment also relates to standard amendments, the parts relating to standard amendments shall be deemed as not having been submitted, and the procedure for Union amendments shall apply only to the parts relating to that Union amendment. The scrutiny of such applications shall focus on the proposed Union amendments. 4. Standard amendments shall be scrutinised and approved and made public by Member States or third countries in whose territory the geographical area of the product concerned is located and communicated to the Commission. The Commission shall make those amendments public."

(4) There is a growing recognition of the need for alignment of bioenergy policies with the cascading principle of biomass use11 , with a view to ensuring fair access to the biomass raw material market for the development of innovative, high value-added bio-based solutions and a sustainable circular bioeconomy. When developing support schemes for bioenergy, Member States should therefore take into consideration the available sustainable supply of biomass for energy and non- energy uses and the maintenance of the national forest carbon sinks and ecosystems as well as the principles of the circular economy and the biomass cascading use, and the waste hierarchy established in Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council12 . For this, they should grant no support to the production of energy from saw logs, veener logs, stumps and roots and avoid promoting the use of quality roundwood for energy except in well-defined circumstances. In line with the cascading principle, woody biomass should be used according to its highest economic and environmental added value in the following order of priorities: 1) wood-based products, 2) extending their service life, 3) re-use, 4) recycling, 5) bio-energy and 6) disposal. Where no other use for woody biomass is economically viable or environmentally appropriate, energy recovery helps to reduce energy generation from non- renewable sources. Member States’ support schemes for bioenergy should therefore be directed to such feedstocks for which little market competition exists with the material sectors, and whose sourcing is considered positive for both climate and biodiversity, in order to avoid negative incentives for unsustainable bioenergy pathways, as identified in the JRC report ‘The use of woody biomass for energy production in the EU’13 . On the other hand, in defining the further implications of the cascading principle, it is necessary to recognise the national specificities which guide Member States in the design of their support schemesWaste prevention, reuse and recycling of waste should be the priority option. Member States should avoid creating support schemes which would be counter to targets on treatment of waste and which would lead to the inefficient use of recyclable waste. Moreover, in order to ensure a more efficient use of bioenergy, from 2026 on Member States should not give support anymore to electricity-only plants , unless the installations are in regions with a specific use status as regards their transition away from fossil fuels or if the installations use carbon capture and storage. __________________ 11 The cascading principle aims to achieve resource efficiency of biomass use through prioritising biomass material use to energy use wherever possible, increasing thus the amount of biomass available within the system. In line with the cascading principle, woody biomass should be used according to its highest economic and environmental added value in the following order of priorities: 1) wood-based products, 2) extending their service life, 3) re-use, 4) recycling, 5) bio-energy and 6) disposal. 12 Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 November 2008 on waste and repealing certain Directives (OJ L 312, 22.11.2008, p. 3). 13 https://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/reposit ory/handle/JRC122719

(5) The rapid growth and increasing cost-competitiveness of renewable electricity production can be used to satisfy a growing share of energy demand, for instance using heat pumps for space heating or low-temperature industrial processes, electric vehicles for transport, or electric furnaces in certain industries. Renewable electricity can also be used to produce synthetic fuels for consumption in hard-to-decarbonise transport sectors such as aviation and maritime transport, industry or buildings. A framework for electrification needs to enable robust and efficient coordination and expand market mechanisms to match both supply and demand in space and time, stimulate efficient investments in flexibility, and help integrate large shares of variable renewable generation. Member States should therefore ensure that the deployment of renewable electricity continues to increase at an adequate pace to meet growing demand by optimizing the use of energy infrastructure. For this, Member States should establish a framework that includes market- compatible mechanisms to tackle remaining barriers to have secure and adequate electricity systems fit for a high level of renewable energy, as well as storage facilities, fully integrated into the electricitnergy system. In particular, this framework shall tackle remaining barriers, including non-financial ones such as insufficient digital and human resources of authorities to process a growing number of permitting applications.

If that assessment reveals significant scope for improvement, the Commission should take appropriate measures to ensure Member States have streamlined and efficient administrative procedures in place. However, simplification of administrative procedures should not include easier occupation of agricultural land and easier permitting of deforestation for the construction of photovoltaic and wind power plants. __________________ 15 Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action, amending Regulations (EC) No 663/2009 and (EC) No 715/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Directives 94/22/EC, 98/70/EC, 2009/31/EC, 2009/73/EC, 2010/31/EU, 2012/27/EU and 2013/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Directives 2009/119/EC and (EU) 2015/652 and repealing Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 328, 21.12.2018, p. 1).

(23) Increasing ambition in the area of energy savings in buildings and heating and cooling sector is key to delivering the overall renewable energy target given that heating and cooling constitutes around half of the Union's energy consumption, covering a wide range of end uses and technologies in buildings, industry and district heating and cooling. To accelerate the increase of renewables in heating and cooling, an annual 1.1 percentage point increase at Member State level should be made binding as a minimum for all Member States.

(31) The Union’s renewable energy policy aims to contribute to achieving the climate change mitigation objectives of the European Union in terms of the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. In the pursuit of this goal, it is essential to also contribute to wider environmental objectives, and in particular the prevention of biodiversity loss, which is negatively impacted by the indirect land use change associated to the production of certainrestrict imports of biofuels, bioliquids and, biomass fuels. Contributing to these climate and environmental objectives constitutes a deep and longstanding intergenerational concern for Union citizens and the Union legislator.

(4) There is a growing recognition of the need for alignment of bioenergy policies with the cascading principle of biomass use11 , with a view to ensuring fair access to the biomass raw material market for the development of innovative, high value-added bio-based solutions and a sustainable circular bioeconomy. When developing support schemes for bioenergy, Member States should therefore take into consideration the available sustainable supply of biomass for energy and non- energy uses and the maintenance of the national forest carbon sinks and ecosystems as well as the principles of the circular economy and the biomass cascading use, and the waste hierarchy established in Directive 2008/98/ECof the European Parliament and of the Council12 . For this, they should grant no support to the production of energy from saw logs, veener logs, stumps and roots and avoid promoting the use of quality roundwood for energy except in well-defined circumstances. In line with the cascading principle, woody biomass should be used according to its highest economic and environmental added value in the following order of priorities: 1) wood-based products, 2) extending their service life, 3) re-use, 4) recycling, 5) bio-energy and 6) disposal. Where no other use for woody biomass is economically viable or environmentally appropriate, energy recovery helps to reduce energy generation from non- renewable sources. Member States’ support schemes for bioenergy should therefore be directed to such feedstocks for which little market competition exists with the material sectors, and whose sourcing is considered positive for both climate and biodiversity, in order to avoid negative incentives for unsustainable bioenergy pathways, as identified in the JRC report ‘The use of woody biomass for energy production in the EU’13 . On the other hand, in defining the further implications of the cascading principle, it is necessary to recognise the national specificities which guide Member States in the design of their support schemesWaste prevention, reuse and recycling of waste should be the priority option. Member States should avoid creating support schemes which would be counter to targets on treatment of waste and which would lead to the inefficient use of recyclable waste. Moreover, in order to ensure a more efficient use of bioenergy, from 2026 on Member States should not give support anymore to electricity-only plants , unless the installations are in regions with a specific use status as regards their transition away from fossil fuels or if the installations use carbon capture and storage. _________________ 11 The cascading principle aims to achieve resource efficiency of biomass use through prioritising biomass material use to energy use wherever possible, increasing thus the amount of biomass available within the system. In line with the cascading principle, woody biomass should be used according to its highest economic and environmental added value in the following order of priorities: 1) wood-based products, 2) extending their service life, 3) re-use, 4) recycling, 5) bio-energy and 6) disposal. 12 Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 November 2008 on waste and repealing certain Directives (OJ L 312, 22.11.2008, p. 3). 13 https://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/reposit ory/handle/JRC122719

(36) Directive (EU) 2018/2001 strengthened the bioenergy sustainability and greenhouse gas savings framework by setting criteria for all end-use sectors. It set out specific rules for biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels produced from forest biomass, requiring the sustainability of harvesting operations and the accounting of land-use change emissions. To achieve an enhanced protection of especially biodiverse and carbon-rich habitats, such as primary forests, highly biodiverse forests, grasslands and peat lands, exclusions and limitations to source forest biomass from those areas should be introduced, in line with the approach for biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels produced from agricultural biomass. In addition, the greenhouse gas emission saving criteria should also apply to existing biomass-based installations to ensure that bioenergy production in all such installations leads to greenhouse gas emission reductions compared to energy produced from fossil fuels.

(5) The rapid growth and increasing cost-competitiveness of renewable electricity production can be used to satisfy a growing share of energy demand, for instance using heat pumps for space heating or low-temperature industrial processes, electric vehicles for transport, or electric furnaces in certain industries. Renewable electricity can also be used to produce synthetic fuels for consumption in hard-to-decarbonise transport sectors such as aviation and maritime transport, industry or buildings. A framework for electrification needs to enable robust and efficient coordination and expand market mechanisms to match both supply and demand in space and time, stimulate efficient investments in flexibility, and help integrate large shares of variable renewable generation. Member States should therefore ensure that the deployment of renewable electricity continues to increase at an adequate pace to meet growing demand by optimizing the use of energy infrastructure. For this, Member States should establish a framework that includes market- compatible mechanisms to tackle remaining barriers to have secure and adequate electricity systems fit for a high level of renewable energy, as well as storage facilities, fully integrated into the electricitnergy system. In particular, this framework shall tackle remaining barriers, including non-financial ones such as insufficient digital and human resources of authorities to process a growing number of permitting applications.

(38) The Union database to be set up by the Commission aims at enabling the tracing of liquid and gaseous renewable fuels and recycled carbon fuels. Its scope should be extended from transport to all other end-use sectors in which such fuels are consumed. For gaseous renewable fuels, the Union database should trace them up to their injection into the gas system where a book and claim certificate system should be applicable until the final point of consumption. This should make a vital contribution to the comprehensive monitoring of the production and consumption of those fuels, mitigating risks of double-counting or irregularities along the supply chains covered by the Union database. In addition, to avoid any risk of double claims on the same renewable gas, a guarantee of origin issued for any consignment of renewable gas registered in the database should be cancelled. When renewable gases are injected into the grid, the guarantees of origin issued should be transferred together with the certificates referred.

(36) Directive (EU) 2018/2001 strengthened the bioenergy sustainability and greenhouse gas savings framework by setting criteria for all end-use sectors. It set out specific rules for biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels produced from forest biomass, requiring the sustainability of harvesting operations and the accounting of land-use change emissions. To achieve an enhanced protection of especially biodiverse and carbon-rich habitats, such as primary forests, highly biodiverse forests, grasslands and peat lands, exclusions and limitations to source forest biomass from those areas should be introduced, in line with the approach for biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels produced from agricultural biomass. In addition, the greenhouse gas emission saving criteria should also apply to existing biomass-based installations to ensure that bioenergy production in all such installations leads to greenhouse gas emission reductions compared to energy produced from fossil fuels.

For gaseous renewable fuels, the Union database should trace them up to their injection into the gas system where use system of guarantees of origin should be applicable until the final point of consumption. This should make a vital contribution to the comprehensive monitoring of the production and consumption of those fuels, mitigating risks of double-counting or irregularities along the supply chains covered by the Union database. In addition, to avoid any risk of double claims on the same renewable gas, a guarantee of origin issued for any consignment of renewable gas registered in the database should be cancelled. When renewable gases are injected into the grid, the guarantees of origin issued should be transferred together with the certificates referred.

(23) Increasing ambition in the area of energy savings in buildings and the heating and cooling sector is key to delivering the overall renewable energy target given that heating and cooling constitutes around half of the Union's energy consumption, covering a wide range of end uses and technologies in buildings, industry and district heating and cooling. To accelerate the increase of renewables in heating and cooling, an annual 1.1 percentage point increase at Member State level should be made binding as a minimum for all Member States. For those Member States, which already have renewable shares above 50% in the heating and cooling sector, it should remain possible to only apply half of the binding annual increase rate and Member States with 60% or above may count any such share as fulfilling the average annual increase rate in accordance with points b) and c) of paragraph 2 of Article 23. In addition, Member State- specific top-ups should be set, redistributing the additional efforts to the desired level of renewables in 2030 among Member States based on GDP and cost- effectiveness. A longer list of different measures should also be included in Directive (EU) 2018/2001 to facilitate increasing the share of renewables in heating and cooling.

In the pursuit of this goal, it is essential to also contribute to wider environmental objectives, and in particular the prevention of biodiversity loss, which is negatively impacted by the indirect land use change associated to the production of certainrestrict imports of biofuels, bioliquids and, biomass fuels. Contributing to these climate and environmental objectives constitutes a deep and longstanding intergenerational concern for Union citizens and the Union legislator. As a consequence, the changes in the way the transport target is calculated should not affect the limits established on how to account toward that target certain fuels produced from food and feed crops on the one hand and and agricultural products for their production from third countries. The import of biofuels, bioliquids, biomass fuels and agricultural products for their production, whigch indirect land-use change-risk fuels on the other hand. In addicauses deforestation, in order not to create an incentive to use biofuels and biogas produced from food and feed crops in transport, Member States should conthird countries, should be phase banned. Contributinueg to be able to choose whether count them or not towards the transport target. If they do not count them, they may reduce the greenhouse gas intensity reduction target accordingly, assuming that food and feed crop-based biofuels save 50% greenhouse gas emissions, which corresponds to the typical values set out in an annex to this Directive for the greenhouse gas emission savings of the most relevant production pathways of food and feed crop-based biofuels as well as the minimum savings threshold applying to most installations producing such biofuelsthese climate and environmental objectives constitutes a deep and longstanding intergenerational concern for Union citizens and the Union legislator.

(33) Direct and indirect electrification of end-use sectors, including the transport sector, contributes to the system efficiency and facilitates the transition to an energy system based on renewable energy. It is therefore in itself an effective means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The creation of a framework on additionality applying specifically to renewable electricity supplied to electric vehicles in the transportuses is therefore not required.

(36) Directive (EU) 2018/2001 strengthened the bioenergy sustainability and greenhouse gas savings framework by setting criteria for all end-use sectors. It set out specific rules for biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels produced from forest biomass, requiring the sustainability of harvesting operations and the accounting of land-use change emissions. To achieve an enhanced protection of especially biodiverse and carbon-rich habitats, such as primary forests, highly biodiverse forests, grasslands and peat lands, exclusions and limitations to source forest biomass from those areas should be introduced, in line with the approach for biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels produced from agricultural biomass. In addition, the greenhouse gas emission saving criteria should also apply to existing biomass-based installations to ensure that bioenergy production in all such installations leads to greenhouse gas emission reductions compared to energy produced from fossil fuels.

(38) The Union database to be set up by the Commission aims at enabling the tracing of liquid and gaseous renewable fuels and recycled carbon fuels. Its scope should be extended from transport to all other end-use sectors in which such fuels are consumed. For gaseous renewable fuels, the Union database should trace them up to their injection into the gas system where use system of guarantees of origin should be applicable until the final point of consumption. This should make a vital contribution to the comprehensive monitoring of the production and consumption of those fuels, mitigating risks of double-counting or irregularities along the supply chains covered by the Union database. In addition, to avoid any risk of double claims on the same renewable gas, a guarantee of origin issued for any consignment of renewable gas registered in the database should be cancelled. When renewable gases are injected into the grid, the guarantees of origin issued should be transferred together with the certificates referred.

(10) Existing mechanisms to address the risk of carbon leakage in sectors or sub- sectors at risk of carbon leakage are the transitional free allocation of EU ETS allowances and financial measures to compensate for indirect emission costs incurred from GHG emission costs passed on in electricity prices respectively laid down in Articles 10a(6) and 10b of Directive 2003/87/EC. However, fFree allocation under the EU ETS weakens the price signal that the system provides for the installations receiving it compared to full auctioning and thus affects the incentives for investment into further abatement of emissionsremains a valid instrument within the Union and the inclusion of these allowances in the CBAM calculation would help contain price increases, especially in sectors such as agriculture.

(12a) However, the issue of carbon leakage must be seen in a broader context, taking into account the cumulative impact of the Union's growing environmental ambitions on the competitiveness of its economy as a whole. The disparity in standards and production requirements between the Union and its external trading partners is clearly evident, not only in the sectors covered by the EU ETC system, but also, and especially, in agriculture. A twin-track approach is therefore required: measures to combat carbon leakage through CBAM should be combined with the creation of additional favourable conditions for investment and production within the Union, including financial incentives for innovation, the production of organic fertilisers, the removal of administrative barriers and the reduction of adjustment costs, especially in the agricultural sector. New resources should be earmarked for this purpose.

(37a) The Union’s agricultural sector is one of the most productive in the world and also the most advanced in terms of its commitment to climate and environmental protection. However, one of the challenges it faces is climate dumping by countries that are making slower progress in adopting greener agricultural standards. The scope of the CBAM should therefore be extended without undue delay to agricultural products, provided that this is done following a comprehensive impact assessment and broad cross-sectoral consultation and is compatible with the Union tariff system. The inclusion of agricultural products in the scope of the CBAM is all the more important as the agricultural sector will be both directly and indirectly affected by the inclusion of other products, notably fertilisers, steel and aluminium. The Commission must undertake to continuously monitor the stability of the Union's internal market, including agricultural markets, and to take effective corrective measures, for example by promoting investments in alternatives to the products listed in this Regulation, in particular fertilisers, and by providing non-CAP-funded compensation to farmers if the new mechanism is found to be undermining the profitability and sustainability of agricultural production.

Recital 10
(10) Existing mechanisms to address the risk of carbon leakage in sectors or sub- sectors at risk of carbon leakage are the transitional free allocation of EU ETS allowances and financial measures to compensate for indirect emission costs incurred from GHG emission costs passed on in electricity prices respectively laid down in Articles 10a(6) and 10b of Directive 2003/87/EC. However, free allocatSuch measures are based on strict benchmarks set by the best performing installations so that they preserve an incentive to reduce emissions under the EU ETS weakens the price signal that the system providesand provide a carbon price signal for emissions above the benchmark level; they have proven so foar the installations receiving it compared to full auctioning o be effective in mitigating the risk of carbon leakage, although in the context of lower carbon prices thand thus affects the incentives for investment into further abatement of emissionsose experienced recently and those forecasted by 2030.

Recital 11
(11) The CBAM seeks to replacestrengthen carbon leakage protection in view of higher EU climate ambition by 2030 and thereafter replace progressively these existing mechanisms by addressing the risk of carbon leakage in a different way, namely by ensuring equivalent carbon pricing for imports and domestic products. To ensure a gradual transition from the current system of free allowances to the CBAM, the CBAM should be progressively phased in while free allowances in sectors covered by the CBAM are phased outand by ensuring that EU products exported in the global market are not replaced by more carbon intensive products, which would undermine the objective of reducing global emissions. As indicated in the Impact Assessment accompanying the Commission proposal, “changes in employment are largely driven by the presence (or not) of free allocation”, since retaining free allocation results in better impact on employment. To ensure a gradual transition from the current system of free allowances to the CBAM, the CBAM should be progressively phased in while free allowances in sectors covered by the CBAM are phased out. as of 2030 after a test phase and an assessment by the Commission has proven the effectiveness of the CBAM regulation in terms of protection from the risk of carbon leakage both for imports and exports. The combined and transitional application of EU ETS allowances allocated free of charge and of the CBAM should in no case result in more favourable treatment for Union goods compared to goods imported into the customs territory of the Union.

(10) In the interest of fiscal neutrality, the same minimum levels of taxation should apply for each component of energy taxation, to all energy products put to a given use. Where equal minimum levels of taxation are thus set, Member States should, also for reason of fiscal neutrality, ensure equal levels of national taxation on all products concerned.deleted

Recital 18
(18) Energy products used as a motor fuel for certain purposes and those used as heating fuel are normally taxed at lower levels than those applicable to energy products used as a propellant. Electricity should always be among the least taxed energy sources in view of fostering its use, notably in the transport sector. To that purpose, Member States should endeavour to apply the same level of taxation to electricity used to charge electric vehicles as for heating purposes during the necessary time following the entry into force of this Directive.

(13) Greenhouse gases that are not directly released into the atmosphere should be considered emissions under the EU ETS and allowances should be surrendered for those emissions unless they are stored in a storage site in accordance with Directive 2009/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council46 , or they are permanently chemically bound in a product so that they do not enter the atmosphere under normal use, or they are captured and used to produce recycled carbon fuels and renewable liquid and gaseous fuels of non-biological origin. The Commission should be empowered to adopt implementing acts specifying the conditions where greenhouse gases are to be considered as permanently chemically bound in a product so that they do not enter the atmosphere under normal use, including obtaining a carbon removal certificate, where appropriate, in view of regulatory developments with regard to the certification of carbon removals. _________________ 46Directive 2009/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the geological storage of carbon dioxide and amending Council Directive 85/337/EEC, European Parliament and Council Directives 2000/60/EC, 2001/80/EC, 2004/35/EC, 2006/12/EC, 2008/1/EC and Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 (OJ L 140, 5.6.2009, p. 114).

Recital 40
(40) Renewable liquid and gaseous fuels of non-biological origin and recycled carbon fuels can be important to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in sectors that are hard to decarbonise. Where recycled carbon fuels and renewable liquid and gaseous fuels of non-biological origin are produced from captured carbon dioxide under an activity covered by this Directive, the emissions should be accounted under that activity, where the CO2 is emitted into the atmosphere. To ensure that renewable fuels of non-biological origin and recycled carbon fuels contribute to greenhouse gas emission reductions and to avoid double counting for fuels that do so, it is appropriate to explicitly extend the empowerment in Article 14(1) to the adoption by the Commission of implementing acts laying down the necessary adjustments for how and where to account for the eventual release of carbon dioxide and how to avoid double counting to ensure appropriate incentives are in place for capturing the CO2, taking also into account the treatment of these fuels under Directive (EU) 2018/2001.

(32) Buildings and transport, alongside industry, are the main energy users and main source of emissions.61 Buildings are responsible for about 40% of the Union’s total energy consumption and for 36% of its GHG from energy.62 The Commission Communication entitled Renovation Wave63 addresses the twin challenge of energy and resource efficiency and affordability in the building sector and aims at doubling the renovation rate. It focusses on the worst performing buildings, energy poverty and on public buildings. Moreover, buildings are crucial to achieving the Union objective of reaching climate neutrality by 2050. Buildings owned by public bodies account for a considerable share of the building stock and have high visibility in public life. It is therefore appropriate to set an annual rate of renovation of buildings owned by public bodies on the territory of a Member State to upgrade their energy performance. Member States are invited to set a higher renovation rate, where that is cost-effective in the framework of the renovation of their buildings stock in conformity with their Long Term Renovation Strategies or national renovation programmes. That renovation rate should be without prejudice to the obligations with regard to nearly- zero energy buildings (NZEBs) set in Directive 2010/31/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council.64 and it should be used as opportunity to integrate buildings in the optimization of energy grids and system efficiency, considering the seasonal peak demand. During the next review of Directive 2010/31/EU, the Commission should assess the progress Member States achieved regarding the renovation of public bodies’ buildings. The Commission should consider submitting a legislative proposal to revise the renovation rate, while taking into account the progress achieved by the Member States, substantial economic or technical developments, or where needed, the Union´s commitments for decarbonisation and zero pollution. The obligation to renovate public bodies’ buildings in this Directive complements that Directive, which requires Member States to ensure that when existing buildings undergo major renovation their energy performance is upgraded so that they meet the requirements on NZEBs and consider the role of long duration flexibility solutions to optimize the use and investments in energy grids. _________________ 61 COM/2020/562 final. 62 See IRP, Resource Efficiency and Climate Change, 2020, and UN Environment Emissions Gap Report, 2019.

(50) When designing policy measures to fulfil the energy savings obligation, Member States should respect the climate and environmental standards and priorities of the Union and comply with the principle of ‘do no significant harm’ within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2020/85271 . Member States should not promote activities that are not environmentally sustainable such as use of solid fossil fuels. The energy savings obligation aims at strengthening the response to climate change by promoting incentives to Member States to implement a sustainable and clean policy mix, which is resilient, and mitigates climate change. Therefore, energy savings from policy measures regarding the use of direct fossil fuel combustioncombustion of fossil fuel with no prospect of decarbonising by further technology upgrade and/or use of renewable fuels will not be eligible energy savings under energy savings obligation as of transposition of this Directive. It will allow aligning the energy savings obligation with the objectives of the European Green Deal, the Climate Target Plan, the Renovation Wave Strategy, and mirror the need for action identified by the IEA in its net zero report72 . The restriction aims at encouraging Member States to spend public money into future-proof, sustainable technologies only. It is important that Member States provide a clear policy framework and investment certainty to market actors. The implementation of the calculation methodology under energy savings obligation should allow all market actors to adapt their technologies in a reasonable timeframe. Where Member States support the uptake of new efficient fossil fuel technologies or early replacement of such technology, for example through subsidy schemes or energy efficiency obligation schemes, energy savings may not be eligible anymore under the energy savings obligation. While energy savings resulting, for example, from the promotion of natural gas-based cogeneration would not be eligible, the restriction would not apply for indirect fossil fuel usage, for example where the electricity production includes fossil fuel generation. Policy measures targeting behavioural changes to reduce the consumption of fossil fuel, for example through information campaigns, eco- driving, should remain eligible. The energy savings from policy measures targeting building renovations may contain measures such as a replacement of fossil fuelinefficient heating systems together with building fabric improvements, which should be limited to those technologies that allow achieving the required energy savings according to the national building codes established in a Member State. Nevertheless, Member States should promote upgrading heating systems as part of deep renovations in line with the long- term objective of carbon neutrality, i.e. reducing the heating demand and covering the remaining heating demand with a carbon-free energy source. _________________ 71 Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2020 on the establishment of a framework to facilitate sustainable investment, and amending Regulation (EU) 2019/2088, OJ L 198, 22.6.2020, p. 13–43. 72 IEA (International Energy Agency) (2021), Net Zero by 2050 A Roadmap for the Global Energy Sector, https://www.iea.org/reports/net-zero-by- 2050.

(21) In view of the increased overall greenhouse gas emissions reduction objectives and to avoid potential market distorting effects, the reduction requirements for all manufacturers present in the Union market should be aligned, except for those responsible for less than 1 000 new vehicles registered in a calendar year. Consequently, the possibility for manufacturers responsible for between 1 000 and 10 000 passenger cars or between 1 000 and 22 000 light commercial vehicles newly registered in a calendar year to apply for a derogation from their specific emission targets should cease from 2030 onwards.deleted

For the purposes of determining each manufacturer’s average specific emissions of CO2, a potential over-achievement of a manufacturer’s CO2 target in one category (M1 or N1)could be combined with an exceedance in the other category (M1 or N1) by the same or another manufacturer. Due to the different target definitions of M1 & N1, this specific credit transfer mechanism option can only combine the difference between a manufacturer’s specific emission target and its specific emissions in one category (M1 or N1) with the difference between a manufacturer’s specific emission target and its specific emissions in the other category (M1 or N1). When the credit trading in one category allows to compensate the exceedance of the other category, the combination shall be considered to have met the two specific emissions targets. For fleet compliance, the maximum amount of grammes that can be traded between M1 and N1 segments of the same or a different manufacturer is capped to 7g WLTP.’

(2a) The National Plant Certificate and the resulting Community protection is a mechanism that has largely established evidence of its effectiveness. It strikes the right balance between the protection of the breeder's work and the farmer's freedom of work, thus encouraging plant research efforts. This is why it differs from the patent, to which it must not be assimilated under any circumstances. Plant research is essential in a context of climate change that continues to adversely impact farmers' incomes. Improving the knowledge of plants and living organisms, as well as strengthening the means of combating the enemies of crops, is necessary to pursue the objectives of the Common Agricultural Policy.

(5a) In order to also create a legal environment conducive to the creation of businesses and the maintenance of existing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the field of plant research, it is necessary to call for a real work of reflection on the means available to them. It must be noted that today, plant research is mainly carried out by industrial companies (such as the applicants for this extension), the only ones able to cope with the considerable costs of developing new varieties. Directing public funding to local-based SMEs would be a way of bringing the agricultural research sector closer to the farmers who benefit from it.

(6a) In accordance with Article 39TFUE, the objective of ensuring a fair standard of living for the agricultural population must first and foremost be considered before the legislative framework for plant property is changed. The worrying lack of an impact study of this Regulation is an example of what not to do. The economic consequences of this five-year extension, the magnitude of which unfortunately we do not know, could have a lasting impact on farmers' work, both in access to seeds and in the price imposed on them.

(-1) The Corona crisis has led to a global emergency and an economic recession of an unprecedented scale. At this stage, it is not possible to make a reasonable estimate of the actual extent of the corona crisis on the individual Member States and their economies. Therefore, the EU Member States and the EU institutions must review, question and, if necessary, adapt all existing policies. This also includes the environmental policy of the EU Member States and the EU institutions, currently known as "climate policy" which is operating with model-based worst-case scenarios in the far future. It is imperative to return to a rational environmental policy, which, in harmony with respect for nature, ensures economic development, innovation and prosperity and guarantees citizens’ employment, security of supply and health. In this context, it should be borne in mind that in the EU Member States with their advanced economies to date the air and soil and water and food quality are better than they have been in centuries and life expectancy has risen continuously.20aA people-centred rational environmental policy is maintaining and not destroying the framework for a social market economy that guarantees free entrepreneurship, competition and innovation. Accordingly, the project, originally entitled "European Climate Change Act", should be renamed "Directive establishing the framework for a rational environmental policy in the wake of the Corona crisis" and its objectives should be adapted as stated in the enacting terms. _________________ 20a According to Eurostat, life expectancy in the EU Member States (EU-27) between 2002 and 2018 increased from 77,7 years to 81 years.

The in-depth analysis in support of the Commission’s long-term strategic vision for an EU climate-neutral economy already indicated that the transformation to a low carbon economy may require additional investments of up to 2% of GDP by 2040. This may need to be advanced to achieve a higher ambition already by 2030.”21a Furthermore, the Commission estimates that the economic output of the EU Member States will fall by at least 7% in 2020 as a result of the corona crisis22a .

It confirms that greenhouse gas emissions need to be urgently reduced, and that climate change needs to be limited to 1.5 °C, in particular to reduce the likelihood of extreme weather events. According to this report, greenhouse gas emissions need to be urgently reduced in order to limit temperature increase to 1.5 °C, and to reduce the likelihood of extreme weather events. These conclusions have been questioned by the European Climate Declaration of 18 October 2019, signed by over 500 scientists21a who do not see a climate emergency such as that declared by the European Parliament on 28 October 2019.22aThe Intergovernmental Science- Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services’ (IPBES) 2019 Global Assessment Report21 showed, in turn, notes worldwide erosion of biodiversity, witaccording to which climate change ais the third most important driver of biodiversity loss.22 _________________ 20IPCC, 2018: Global Warming of 1.5°C.

(7) The Union has been pursuing an ambitious policy on climate action and hasMember States and the Union have put in place a regulatory framework to achieve ithe Union's 2030 greenhouse gas emission reduction target, based on the commitments made under the Paris Agreement. The legislation implementing this target consists, inter alia, of Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council26 , which establishes an inefficient and bureaucratic system for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Union, Regulation (EU) 2018/842 of the European Parliament and of the Council27 , which introduced national targets for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, and Regulation (EU) 2018/841 of the European Parliament and of the Council28 , which requires Member States to balance greenhouse gas emissions and removals from land use, land use change and forestry and is based exclusively on the hitherto scientifically completely unproven assumption that CO2 is the sole driver of the so-called global warming. _________________ 26Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a system for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Union and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC (OJ L 275 of 25 October 2003, p. 32). 27Regulation (EU) 2018/842 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 on binding annual greenhouse gas emission reductions by Member States from 2021 to 2030 contributing to climate action to meet commitments under the Paris Agreement and amending Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 (OJ L 156, 19.6.2018, p. 26). 28 Regulation (EU) 2018/841 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 on the inclusion of greenhouse gas emissions and removals from land use, land use change and forestry in the 2030 climate and energy framework, and amending Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 and Decision No 529/2013/EU (OJ L 156, 19.6.2018, p. 1).

(11) The European Parliament has called for the necessarya transition to a supposedly "climate- neutral" society to be achieved by 2050 at the latest and for this to be made intobecome a European success story33 and has declared a climate and environment emergency34 in an excessively ideological manner.34 In retrospect, and particularly with regard to the Corona crisis, the European Parliament was unpleasantly reminded by reality of what the real crises are made of. The European Council, in its Conclusions of 12 December 201935 , has agreed on the objective of achieving a climate-neutral Union by 2050, in line with the objectives of the Paris Agreement, while also recognemphasising that it is supposed to be necessary to put in place an enabling framework and that the transition will require significant public and private investment, worth several GDP points each and every year. The European Council also invited the Commission to prepare a proposal for the Union’s long- term strategy as early as possible in 2020 with a view to its adoption by the Council and its submission to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Since this call, the COVID-19 crisis led to a postponement of the COP 26 by one year and EU´s GDP is expected to decrease as never in EU history. This is not the only reason why the Council should have the opportunity to reconsider its decision. Moreover, the current target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 was previously unanimously endorsed by the European Council. Given the parallelism of forms, it would have been appropriate for the European Council also to have previously approved an increase in the level of ambition by 2030 before it is presented as a legislative proposal under the ordinary legislative procedure. _________________ 33European Parliament resolution of 15 January 2020 on the European Green Deal (2019/2956(RSP)). 34European Parliament resolution of 28 November 2019 on the climate and environment emergency (2019/2930(RSP)). 35 Conclusions adopted by the European Council at its meeting on 12 December 2019, EUCO 29/19, CO EUR 31, CONCL 9.

(12) TAccording to the ideas of the Commission, the Union should aim to achieve a balance between anthropogenic economy- wide emissions and removals, through natural and technological solutions, of greenhouse gases domestically within the Union by 2050. The Union-wide 2050 climate-neutrality objective should be pursued by all Member States collectively, and the Member States, the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission should take the necessary measures to enable its achievement. Measures at Union level will constitute an importan. Realistically, this could be done, if at all, within the Union not before 2050. In particular, the so-called technical solutions, i.e. CO2 capture and storage, are at best in the pilot stage. The process itself is excessively energy- intensive and thus produces precisely the greenhouse gases that part of the measures needed to achieve the objectivee to be avoided, and is therefore highly uneconomic.

Most important is a scientific basis for future decisions in the field of environmental policy, whereby the so-called Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) can at best have an advisory role in policy-making, as its name already suggests.

(16) The transition to climate neutrality requires changes across the entire policy spectrum and a collective effort of all sectors of the economy and society, as illustrated by the Commission inAs described above, the Commission published on 11 December 2019 its Communication ‘The European Green Deal’. The European Council, in its Conclusions of 12 December 2019, stated that all relevant Union legislation and policies need toshould be consistent with, and contribute to, the fulfilment of the climate- neutrality objective while respecting a level playing field, and invited the Commission to examine whether this requires an adjustment of the existing rules. In view of the Corona crisis, which showed clearly what a real emergency is, both the European Council and the Commission are called upon to examine their objectives on the basis of these new findings. Accordingly, the Member States and the Union are called upon to reassess their commitments made under the Paris Agreement and, if necessary, adapt the respective conclusions and legislation in the spirit of a rational environmental policy and not a misleading climate policy. This includes especially the European Council Conclusions of 23/24 October 2014 and of 17/18 March 2016 (setting 2030 targets) and of 12 December 2019 (setting a "climate neutrality" target by 2050) as well as the EU legislation mentioned in recitals 7, 8 and 9 of this Regulation. In contradiction to that, it should be pointed out that the European Central Bank´s Quantitative Easing Corporate Sector Purchase Programme (CSPP) so far has been mainly used to fund carbon-intensive activities, in complete contrast to the supposedly earth saving climate policy of the Commission.

(17) The Commission, in its Communication ‘The European Green Deal’, announced its intention to assess and make proposals for increasing the Union’s greenhouse gas emission reduction target for 2030 to ensure its consistency with the climate-neutrality objective for 2050. In that CommunicationAnthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases are inextricably linked to economic activities, as evidenced by the fact that from the post-war period until today there has been an almost continuous increase in global CO2 emissions, which was temporarily interrupted in connection with the recession caused by the economic crisis of 2007-2008. As is the case in the COVID 19 pandemic, which is likely to trigger the most severe recession spiral since the Great Depression. It is economic prosperity that enables a society to practice environmental protection for the benefit of all. Therefore, the above mentioned Communication obviously did not consider the importance of economic growth as a prerequisite for a rational environmental policy and social welfare in a proper manner. Both the increase in the reduction target for greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and the goal of so- called "climate neutrality" by 2050 have to be reassessed. On the contrary, the Commission underlined that all Union policies should contribute to the climate- neutrality objective and that all sectors should play their part, which, according to current knowledge, would in fact lead to the destruction of all energy-intensive economic sectors. By September 2020, the Commission should, based on a comprehensive impact assessment and taking into account its analysis of the integrated national energy and climate plans submitted to the Commission in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council36 , review the Union’s 2030 target for climate and explore options for a new 2030 target of 50 to 55 % emission reductions compared with 1990 levels. Where it considers necessary to amend the Union’s 2030 target, it should make proposals to the European Parliament and to the Council to amend this Regulation as appropriate. In addition, the Commission should, by 30 June 2021, assess how the Union legislation implementing that target would need to be amended in order to achieve emission reductions of 50 to 55 % compared to 1990. in the spirit of a rational environmental policy. This impact assessment should be the starting point for all further discussions. All legislative initiatives must be subordinated to this, if one does not want to risk to be accused to merely create ideologically based legal facts. _________________ 36Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action, amending Regulations (EC) No 663/2009 and (EC) No 715/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Directives 94/22/EC, 98/70/EC, 2009/31/EC, 2009/73/EC, 2010/31/EU, 2012/27/EU and 2013/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Directives 2009/119/EC and (EU) 2015/652 and repealing Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 328, 21.12.2018, p. 1).

Proposal for a regulation
Article 2 – paragraph 1
1. Union-wide emissions and removals of greenhouse gaseThe policies of the EU Member States and the EU institutions have for some time now been focused merely on the highest conceivable reduction of greenhouse gases within the framework of a "climate policy" that can be described as essentially ideological, which shall primarily be achieved through economic intervention in the free market economy and a policy of prohibition. The focus is shifting more and more towards spectacular reduction targets that can neither be scientifically substantiated nor take into account the economic premises necessary for protective measures of any kind. Environmental protection is only possible in a free society that provides the technical innovative power and the necessary economic performance to make this feasible. More and more often, not even ecological considerations aregulated in Union law shall be balanced at the latest by 2050, thus reducing emissions to net zero by that date. given the necessary space, for example, when the environmental damage caused by the mining of resources for batteries to pursue renewable energy production, which up to now has been promoted by politics, is shifted to non-European countries. It is therefore essential, not only in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic which is putting an unprecedented pressure on the Union's economy, that the EU institutions and the Member States review, question and, where necessary, adapt all existing policies. This includes in particular the EU regulations mentioned above, namely Directive 2003/87/EC (greenhouse gas emission allowance trading), Regulation(EU) 2018/842 (national targets for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions), Regulation (EU) 2018/841 (compensation of greenhouse gases) and Regulation (EU)2018/1999 (governance system for the Energy Union and climate protection), but also, downstream, Directive2012/27/EU (energy efficiency), Directive (EU)2018/2001 (use of renewable energies) and Directive 2010/31/EU (building efficiency) and, if necessary, other EU regulations. Adaptation to ongoing natural climate change, the causes of which must be further researched by independent scientists, must be at the heart of future policy.

1. The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 9 to supplement this Regulation by setting out a trajectory at Union level to achieve the climate-neutrality objective set out in Article 2(1) until 2050. At the latest within six months after each global stocktake referred to in Article 14 of the Paris Agreement, the Commission shall review the trajectoryIrrespective of the policy field, it must be understood that any inappropriate request by an EU institution to usurp competences beyond those laid down in the Treaties must be rejected in the strongest terms. Specifically, this includes the Commission's request that it be given the power to impose decisions of a fundamental nature by means of delegated legislation, to which Parliament and the Council would only have a right of objection retrospectively. Such a request from an executive authority that is largely made up of unelected officials and therefore lacks sufficient democratic legitimacy is unacceptable, whatever the subject matter. Rather, decisions of a fundamental nature, such as the setting of possible emission reduction targets for 2030 or beyond, are the sole responsibility of the Member States, and thus at Union level of the European Council.

(29) Article 30 of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 provides for the annual progressive modifications in the value of the payment entitlements allocated from the reserve to reflect the annual steps of the national ceiling set in Annex II to that Regulation, reflecting a “multiannual” management of the reserve. Those rules should be adapted so to reflect that it is possible to amend both the value of all allocated entitlements and of the reserve to adjust to a change in the amount in that Annex II between two years. Moreover, in some Member States not having reached a flat rate by 2019, internal convergence is implemented on an annual basis. For calendar years 2020, 2021, 2022 and 20213, only the value of the payment entitlement of the current year needs to be determined in the year of allocation. The unit value of entitlements to be allocated from the reserve in a given year should be calculated after possible adjustment of the reserve in accordance with Article 22(5) of that Regulation. In any subsequent year, the value of the payment entitlements allocated from the reserve should be adapted in accordance with that Article 22(5).

This, however, is not the case when Member States are not able to reach a qualified majority, due to, amongst others, a significant number of abstentions or intentional non-appearances at the moment of the vote.
