Amendment 156 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 8
(8) The EU ETS should incentivise production from installations that partly or fully reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, the description of some categories of activities in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC should be amended to ensure an equal treatment of installations in the sectors concerned. In addition, free allocation for the production of a product should be independent of the nature of the production process. It is therefore necessary to modify the definition of the products and of the processes and emissions covered for some benchmarks to ensure a level playing field for new and existing technologies. It is also necessary to decouple the update of the benchmark values for refineries and for hydrogen to reflect the increasing importance of production of hydrogen outside the refineries sectorCommission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066 should be reviewed accordingly to take into account lower emissions associated with the low-carbon fuels.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 13
(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).

Amendment 206 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 17
(17) In the European Green Deal, the Commission stated its intention to take additional measures to address greenhouse gas emissions from the maritime transport sector through a basket of measures to enable the Union to reach its emissions reduction targets. In this context, Directive 2003/87/EC should be amended to include the maritime transport sector in the EU ETS in order to ensure this sector contributes to the increased climate objectives of the Union as well as to the objectives of the Paris Agreement, which requires developed countries to take the lead by undertaking economy-wide emission reduction targets, while developing countries are encouraged to move over time towards economy-wide emission reduction or limitation targets.49 Considering that emissions from international aviation outside Europe should be capped from January 2021 by global market-based action while there is no action in place that caps or prices maritime transport emissions, it is appropriatemight be highly detrimental that the EU ETS would covers a share of the emissions from voyages between a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State and port under the jurisdiction of a third country, with the third country being able to decide on appropriate action in respect of the other share of emissions. The extension of the EU ETS to the maritime transport sector should thus include half of the emissions from ships performing voyages arriving at a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State from a port outside the jurisdiction of a Member State, half of the emissions from ships performing voyages departing from a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State and arriving at a port outside the jurisdiction of a Member State, emissions from ships performing voyages arriving at a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State from a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State, and emissions at berth in a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State. This approach has been noted as a practical way to solve the issue of Common but Differentiated Responsibilities and Capabilities, which has been a longstanding challenge in the UNFCCC context. The coverage of a share of the emissions from both incoming and outgoing voyages between the Union and third countries ensures the effectiveness of the EU ETS, notably by increasing the environmental impact of the measure compared to a geographical scope limited to voyages within the EU, while limiting the risk of evasive port calls and the risk of delocalisation of transhipment activities outside the Unionbecause it might cause a loss of competitiveness to our ports, especially in the transhipment sector. In addition, ships operating routes included in the Motorways of the Seas or granting territorial continuity as a public service to islands should not be considered in the scope of the EU ETS, in order to avoid the concrete risk of a modal backshift to more pollutant sectors in the former case, as well as the risk of endangering territorial continuity in the latter one. The extension of the EU ETS to the maritime transport sector should thus include half of the emissions from ships performing voyages arriving at a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State from a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State, and fifty percent of emissions at berth in a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State. To ensure a smooth inclusion of the sector in the EU ETS, the surrendering of allowances by shipping companies should be gradually increased with respect to verified emissions reported for the period 20238 to 202530. To protect the environmental integrity of the system, to the extent that fewer allowances are surrendered in respect of verified emissions for maritime transport during those years, once the difference between verified emissions and allowances surrendered has been established each year, a corresponding a number of allowances should be cancelled. As from 202631, shipping companies should surrender the number of allowances corresponding to all of their verified emissions reported in the preceding year. _________________ 49 Paris Agreement, Article 4(4).

Amendment 249 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 27
(27) Bearing in mind that this Directive amends Directive 2003/87/EC in respect of a period of implementation that has already started on 1 January 2021, for reasons of predictability, environmental effectiveness and simplicity, the steeper linear reduction pathway of the EU ETS should be a straight line from 2021 to 2030, such as to achieve emission reductions in the EU ETS of 61 % by 2030, as the appropriate intermediate step towards Union economy- wide climate neutrality in 2050. As the increased linear reduction factor can only apply from the year following the entry into force of this Directive, a one-off reduction of the quantity of allowances should reduce the total quantity of allowances so that it is in line with this level of annual reduction having been made from 2021 onwards.

Recital 29
(29) Further incentives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by using cost- efficient techniques should be provided. To that end, the free allocation of emission allowances to stationary installations from 2026 onwards should be conditional on investments in techniques to increase energy efficiency and reduce emissions. Ensuring that this is focused on larger energy users would result in a substantial reduction in burden for businesses with lower energy use, which may be owned by small and medium sized enterprises or micro- enterprises.

Amendment 303 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 30
(30) The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), established under Regulation (EU) […./..] of the European Parliament and of the Council51 , is an alternative to free allocation to address the risk of carbon leakage. To the extent that sectors and subsectors are covered by that measure, they should not receive free allocation. However, a transitional phasing-out of free allowances as of 2030 is needed to allow producers, importers and traders to adjust to the new regime. The reduction of free allocation should be implemented by applying a factor to free allocation for CBAM sectors, while the CBAM is phased in. This percentage (CBAM factor) should be equal to 100 % during the transitional period between the entry into force of [CBAM Regulation] and 20259, 90 % in 202630 and should be reduced by 10 percentage points each year to reach 0 % and thereby eliminate free allocation by the tenth year. The relevant delegated acts on free allocation should be adjusted accordingly for the sectors and subsectors covered by the CBAM. The free allocation no longer provided to the CBAM sectors based on this calculation (CBAM demand) must be auctioned and the revenues will accrue to the Innovation Fund, so as to support innovation in low carbon technologies, carbon capture and utilisation (‘CCU’), carbon capture and geological storage (‘CCS’), renewable energy and energy storage, in a way that contributes to mitigating climate change. Special attention should be given to projects in CBAM sectors. To respect the proportion of the free allocation available for the non- CBAM sectors, the final amount to deduct from the free allocation and to be auctioned should be calculated based on the proportion that the CBAM demand represents in respect of the free allocation needs of all sectors receiving free allocation. Free allowances in sectors covered by the CBAM are phased out as of 2030 only provided that the CBAM has proved to be effective to prevent the risk of carbon leakage. _________________ 51 [please insert full OJ reference]

Amendment 315 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 30 a (new)
(30a) Because third-country governments have still not limited or priced greenhouse gas emissions at the same levels as the EU, there is a difference in regulatory ambition that creates a risk of carbon leakage through the substitution of EU exports to third- country markets by products not subject to equivalent carbon limitation and pricing policies. In this situation, emissions limited in the EU would then be simply emitted in another third country, jeopardizing the EU’s overall objective to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 30 b (new)
(30b) Therefore, allowance adjustments for the emissions embedded in the goods exported is justified as long as significant numbers of EU’s international partners have policy approaches that do not result in the same level of climate ambition as the Union, with a view to calibrate the regulatory obligation and the net regulatory burden imposed under the EU ETS. Allowances adjustments for exports should be introduced as of the start of the progressive phasing out of free allowances and should remain in force until other countries take equivalent and effective steps to impose carbon costs on competing foreign production, independently from any reduction commitments of free allowances under the EU ETS until other countries take equivalent and effective steps to impose carbon costs on competing production.

Amendment 320 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 31
(31) In order to better reflect technological progress and adjust the corresponding benchmark values to the relevant period of allocation while ensuring emission reduction incentives and properly rewarding innovation, the maximum adjustment of the benchmark values should be increased from 1,6 % to 2,5 % per year. For the period from 2026 to 2030, the benchmark values should thus be adjusted within a range of 4 % to 50 % compared to the value applicable in the period from 2013 to 2020.deleted

Proposal for a directive
Recital 31 b (new)
(31b) Where ex-ante benchmarks cannot be derived for an individual sector or subsector and allowances are allocated on the basis of generic fall back approaches, it is necessary to ensure that sectorial and geographical differences amongst the sectors and subsectors covered are nevertheless appropriately reflected. In developing implementing acts pursuant to Article 10a(2), the Commission should therefore ensure that sector specific fall back approaches are devised where needed to avoid discrimination between sectors.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 33
(33) The scope of the Innovation Fund referred to in Article 10a(8) of Directive 2003/87/EC should be extended to support innovation in low-carbon technologies and processes that concern the consumption of fuels in the sectors of buildings and road transport. In addition, the Innovation Fund should serve to support investments to decarbonise the maritime transport sector, including investments in sustainable alternative fuels, such as hydrogen and ammonia that are produced from renewables, as well as zero-emission propulsion technologies like wind technologies. Considering that revenues generated from penalties raised in Regulation xxxx/xxxx [FuelEU Maritime]52 are allocated to the Innovation Fund as external assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(5) of the Financial Regulation, the Commission should ensure that due consideration is given to support for innovative projects aimed at accelerating the development and deployment of renewable and low carbon fuels in the maritime sector, as specified in Article 21(1) of Regulation xxxx/xxxx [FuelEU Maritime]. To ensure sufficient funding is available for innovation within this extended scope, the Innovation Fund should be supplemented with 50 million allowances, stemming partly from the allowances that could otherwise be auctioned, and partly from the allowances that could otherwise be allocated for free, in accordance with the current proportion of funding provided from each source to the Innovation Fund. _________________ 52[add ref to the FuelEU Maritime Regulation].

(38) The scope of the Modernisation Fund should be aligned with the most recent climate objectives of the Union by requiring that investments are consistent with the objectives of the European Green Deal and Regulation (EU) 2021/1119, and eliminating the support to any investments related to fossil fuels. In addition, the percentage of the Modernisation Fund that needs to be devoted to priority investments should be increased to 80 %; energy efficiency should be targeted as a priority area at the demand side; and support of households to address energy poverty, including in rural and remote areas, should be included within the scope of the priority investments.

Amendment 392 #
Proposal for a directive
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 thate 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 CO2, taking also into account the treatment of these fuels under Directive (EU) 2018/2001.

Recital 41
(41) As carbon dioxide is also expected to be transported by means other than pipelines, such as by ship and by truck, the current coverage in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC for transport of greenhouse gases for the purpose of storage should be extended to all means of transport for reasons of equal treatment and irrespective of whether the means of transport are covered by the EU ETS. Where the emissions from the transport are also covered by another activity under Directive 2003/87/EC, the emissions should be accounted for under that other activity to prevent double counting. Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066 should be reviewed accordingly in order to reflect all modalities of CO2 transport.

Amendment 423 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 43
(43) The Communication of the Commission on Stepping up Europe’s 2030 climate ambition57 , underlined the particular challenge to reduce the emissions in the sectors of road transport and buildings. Therefore, the Commission announced that a further expansion of emissions trading could include emissions from road transport and buildings. Emissions trading for these two new sectors would be established through separate but adjacent emissions trading, ideally with a long-term aim to achieve convergence on a uniform and durable carbon price for the whole economy, once the abatement costs of different sectors will converge, in order to enable emission reductions at the lowest societal costs. Considering especially the vulnerable consumers and the risk of mobility poverty as a result of the proposed expansion of carbon pricing, the Commission should carefully assess the impact of the proposed regulation as well as the adequacy of the proposed mitigation measures. This would avoid any disturbance of the well-functioning emissions trading in the sectors of stationary installations and aviation. The new system is accompanied by complementary policies and measures safeguarding against undue price impacts, shaping expectations of market participants and aiming for a carbon price signal for the whole economy. Previous experience has shown that the development of the new market requires setting up an efficient monitoring, reporting and verification system. In view of ensuring synergies and coherence with the existing Union infrastructure for the EU ETS covering the emissions from stationary installations and aviation, it is appropriate to set up emissions trading for the road transport and buildings sectors via an amendment to Directive 2003/87/ЕC. _________________ 57 COM(2020)562 final.

Recital 44 a (new)
(44a) Given the slow development of and accessibility to low and zero emission vehicles in the various market segments of road transport and the millions of vehicles that would be affected by additional charges being introduced, for road transport, the system should be gradually introduced over a ten-year period once allowances and compliance obligations start in 2026. Re-evaluations should take place every two to three years. The starting point and the evaluation process should depend on a number of conditions, including the availability of alternative fuel technology, the speed in deploying sufficient numbers of alternative fuel light- and heavy-duty vehicles, as well as an alternative fuel infrastructure for the sector and its various niches.

Amendment 529 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 52
(52) The introduction of the carbon price in road transport and buildings should be accompanied by effective social compensation, especially in view of the already existing levels of energy poverty. About 34 million Europeans reported an inability to keep their homes adequately warm in 2018, and 6,9 % of the Union population have said that they cannot afford to heat their home sufficiently in a 2019 EU-wide survey60 . To achieve an effective social and distributional compensation, Member States should be required to spend the auction revenues on the climate and energy-related purposes already specified for the existing emissions trading, but also for measures added specifically to address related concerns for the new sectors of road transport and buildings, including related policy measures under Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council61 . Auction revenues should be used to address social aspects of the emission trading for the new sectors with a specific emphasis in vulnerable households, micro, small and medium- sized-enterprises and transport users. In this spirit, a new Social Climate Fund will provide dedicated funding to Member States to support the European citizens most affected or at risk of energy or mobility poverty. This Fund will promote fairness and solidarity between and within Member States while mitigating the risk of energy and mobility poverty during the transition. It will build on and complement existing solidarity mechanisms. The resources of the new Fund will in principle correspond to 25 % of the expected revenues from new emission trading in the period 2026-2032, and will be implemented on the basis of the Social Climate Plans that Member States should put forward under Regulation (EU) 20…/nn of the European Parliament and the Council62 . In addition, each Member State should use their auction revenues inter alia to finance a part of the costs of their Social Climate Plans. _________________ 60 Data from 2018.

(67) It is necessary to amend Regulation (EU) 2015/757 to take into account the inclusion of the maritime transport sector in the EU ETS. Regulation (EU) 2015/757 should be amended to modify the threshold set out in that Regulation from 5 000 GT of size to 5 000 Kw of engine propulsion, in order to take into account all the relevant emitters in maritime sector. Moreover, Regulation (EU) 2015/757 should be amended to oblige companies to report aggregated emissions data at company level and to submit for approval their verified monitoring plans and aggregated emissions data at company level to the responsible administering authority. In addition, the Commission should be empowered to adopt delegated acts to amend the methods for monitoring CO2 emissions and the rules on monitoring, as well as any other relevant information set out in Regulation (EU) 2015/757, to ensure the effective functioning of the EU ETS at administrative level and to supplement Regulation (EU) 2015/757 with the rules for the approval of monitoring plans and changes thereof by administering authorities, with the rules for the monitoring, reporting and submission of the aggregated emissions data at company level and with the rules for the verification of the aggregated emissions data at company level and for the issuance of a verification report in respect of the aggregated emissions data at company level. The data monitored, reported and verified under Regulation (EU) 2015/757 might also be used for the purpose of compliance with other Union law requiring the monitoring, reporting and verification of the same ship information.
