Amendment 13 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 28 a (new)
(28 a) A well-defined share of the auctioning revenue generated under the reformed and extended ETS should be used as an own resource to finance the Union budget as general income, in accordance with the legally binding Interinstitutional Agreement between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission of 16 December 20201a that contains a roadmap towards the introduction of a basket of new own resources, including, inter alia, own resources based on the ETS, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and Pillar One of the OECD/G20 agreement. Under that Agreement, such new own resources are envisaged to be introduced by 1 January 2023. The new own resources are instruments to embed EU policy priorities such as the European Green Deal and the Union’s contribution to fair taxation in the revenue side of the EU budget and thus augment EU add value. The introduction of new own resources will contribute to the climate mainstreaming objectives, the repayment of NGEU debts and the resilience of the Union budget as regards its functioning as a tool for investments and guarantees. _________________ 1a Interinstitutional Agreement of 16 December 2020 between the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union and the European Commission on budgetary discipline, on cooperation in budgetary matters and on sound financial management, as well as on new own resources, including a roadmap towards the introduction of new own resources (OJ L 433I, 22.12.2020, p. 28).

Amendment 17 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 28 b (new)
(28 b) In accordance with Council Decision (EU, Euratom) 2020/2053, the Union is legally bound to repay all liabilities incurred by the exceptional and temporary empowerment to borrow funds under Next Generation EU by 31 December 2058 at the latest. Therefore, in order to respect the legally binding Interinstitutional Agreement and its roadmap for the introduction of a basket of new own resources intended to repay the Union’s debt and to align the EU revenue side with the EU political priorities, a share of ETS revenues should accrue to the Union budget to help cover the borrowing costs as enshrined in the [Council Decision 2022/XXXX amending Decision (EU, Euratom) 2020/2053 on the system of own resources of the European Union] and prevent substantial decreases in the EU budget that would jeopardize Union programmes in future MFFs.

Amendment 27 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 44 a (new)
(44 a) Underlines the importance of a uniform application of the own resources decision and therefore the ETS Directive should not contain any temporary opt-out clauses, giving Member States the possibility to delay the application of emissions trading, which would fragment and undermine the basis for the ETS- based own resource.
