(1) The Commission has, in its Communication of 11 December 2019 entitled ‘The European Green Deal’19 , set out a new growth strategy that aims to transform the Union into a fair and prosperous society, with a modern, resource-efficient andPursuing an objective of ‘climate neutrality’ is not a decarbonisation strategy, it just implies that emissions are acceptable as long as they are offset elsewhere. The climate neutrality approach to climate action paves the way for creative accounting, greenwashing, as well as the pursuit of techno-fix solutions to combat an emergency which quite literally jeopardises human existence on this planet. Climate neutrality also implies that territories can be bordered off and called ‘climate neutral’, while completitive economy, where there are no net emissions of greenhouse gases in 2050ely neglecting their interconnectedness with emissions and consumption trends with the rest of the world and wthere economic growth is decoupled from resource use. It also aim embedded emissions attached. In relation to quantifying the real offset capacity of natural sinks, it is impossible to equate this to protdirect,ly conserve and enhance the Union’s natural capital, and protect the hmpensating for real emissions, and it goes against the principle of stopping pollution at source. Thus, a realth and well- being of citizens from environment- related risks and impacts. At the same time, this transition must be just and inclusive, leaving no one behind. _________________ 19 Commission Communication - The European Green Deal, COM(2019) 640 final of 11 December 2019deep decarbonisation strategy must be undertaken by the Union and Member States, accompanied by a just transition, with a vision for real zero emissions by 2040, in order to honour the Paris Agreement and to show global leadership.

(2 a) The Covid-19 crisis has led to a very significant decrease in greenhouse gas emissions demonstrating that it is possible to meet the UN Environment Programme's recommendation of a 7,6% annual emissions reduction4a to contribute to limiting global warming to the 1.5°C goal in the Paris Agreement. Nevertheless, this has been done without any systemic changes and without any planning and anticipation, which can lead to possible rebound effects and dramatic social consequences. Therefore, it is crucial to use this unique opportunity to radically change the production and consumption models and to put forward a democratic and social planning of the ecological transition. _________________ 4a UN Environment Programme, Emissions Gap Report, 2019

(2) The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Special Report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways20 provides a strong scientific basis for tackling climate change and illustrates the need to step up climate actionthe fossil fuel industry and illustrates the need to make rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes to our economies. 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. The Intergovernmental Science- Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services’ (IPBES) 2019 Global Assessment Report21 showed worldwide erosion of biodiversity, with climate change as the third most important driver of biodiversity loss.22 _________________ 20IPCC, 2018: Global Warming of 1.5°C.

(6) Achieving climate neutrality should require a contribution from all economic sectors. In light of the importance of energy production and consumption on greenhouse gas emissions, the transition to a sustainable, affordable and secure energy system relying on a well-functioning internal energy market is essential. The digital transformation, technological innovation, and research and development are also important drivers for achieving the climate-neutrality objectiveThe Paris Agreement requires that all economic sectors decarbonise, and thus no sector is exempt from this requirement.

(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 in 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 to 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. Therefore, the Commission should assess the carbon footprint of major transport and energy infrastructure projects, taking into account the whole life cycle, including indirect emissions and should consider alternatives that take into account the global decrease of energy consumption as well as passenger and goods transports.

(7) The Union has been pursuing an ambitiousinadequate policy on climate action and has put in place a regulatory framework to achieve its 2030 greenhouse gas emission reduction target that is not yet in line with 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 a 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. Together, the climate acquis has not led to the necessary emissions reductions to limit global warming to 1.5° C. _________________ 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).

(8) In addition, the Commission has, in its Communication of 28 November of 2018 entitled ‘A Clean Planet for all: A European strategic long-term vision for a prosperous, modern, competitive and climate-neutral economy’, presented an inadequate vision for achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in the Union by 2050 through a socially-fair and cost-efficient transitionby relying on nuclear energy, fossil gas and inexistent technologies. As such, it is not a decarbonisation strategy worthy of any merit.

(12a) Given the absolute imperative to be on a decarbonisation pathway that is in line with the accepted and most up-to-date science on climate change, an Independent Scientific Assessment Panel on Climate Change (ISAP) should be established. The ISAP should consist of scientists with expertise in climate change and should be fully independent and autonomous to ensure the utmost credibility. As such, the ISAP should ensure that we are constantly listening to the science. It should be tasked with monitoring greenhouse gas emission reductions in the Union and Member States, assessing consistency of measures and progress, producing yearly Progress and Emissions Gap Reports, calculating equity considerations, examining methodologies for the inclusions of embedded emissions and for assessing natural carbon stocks, and establishing the Union carbon budget.

(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 consistencya percentage range that is not in line with the coblimgate-neutrality objective for 2050. In that Communication, the Commission underlined that all Union policies should contribute to the climate-neutrality objective and that all sectors should play their part. 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 ,ions from the Paris Agreement, as pointed to in the United Nations Emissions Gap Report. Contrary to the findings of this report, and in complete disregard to the accepted science and principles of equity under the UNFCCC, the Commission decided to review the Union’s 2030 target for climate andto only explore options for a new 2030 target of 50 to 55 % emission reductions compared with 1990 levels. Where it considers necessary to and only amend the Union’s 2030 target, if 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. _________________ 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)considered it necessary following an impact assessment.

(21) In order to provide predictability and confidence for all economic actors, including businesses, workers, investors and consumers, to ensure that the transition towards climate neutralityecological transition is irreversible, to ensure gradualplanned, rapid reduction over time and to assist in the assessment of the consistency of measures and progress with the climate-neutrality objective, 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 set out a trajectory for achieving netreal zero greenhouse gas emissions in the Union by 20540. It is of particular importance that the Commisdesiogn carries out appropriate coand formation of this policy are insultations 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 of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making37 . In particular, ted from the interests of the fossil fuel industry in particular. As such, the Commission should make every effort to act transparently and only engage with fossil fuel representatives, or others who represent their interests, where it is strictly necessary in order to regulate the sector. 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. _________________ 37OJ L 123, 12.5.2016, p. 1.

(23) CThe climate changeand environmental emergency is by definition a trans- boundary challenge and a coordinated action at Union level is needed to effectively supplement and reinforce national policies. Since the objectives of this Regulation, namely to achieve climate neutrality in the Union by 2050, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States alone, but can rather, by reason of the scale and effects, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve those objectives,.

(23a) There is a fundamental and irreconcilable conflict between the fossil fuel industry’s interests and the public interest of a liveable planet for all. The Union’s institutions and Member States should therefore protect the formulation and implementation of public climate policies from the fossil fuel industry to the greatest extent possible and place restrictions on the representation of interests of the fossil fuel industry.
