Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4

~~(4)~~4. As set out in the European Green Deal and the Sustainable Europe Investment Plan, a Just Transition Mechanism should complement the other actions under the next multi-annual financial framework for the period from 2021 to 2027. It should contribute to addressing the social and economic consequences of transitioning towards Union climate neutrality by bringing together the Union budget’s spending on climate and social objectives at regional level. In this connection, sustainable forest management and farming and related sectors have an important role to play in the future common agricultural policy (CAP).

Recital 6 a (new)

6a. Given the goals set in the Green Deal, an overarching strategic agenda for European farming sectors should be established, and this agenda should support decarbonisation and be based on a broad and extensive assessment by the Commission of the effects of the sectors' economic activity on atmospheric pollution levels.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 15

(15). The territorial just transition plans should identify the territories most negatively affected, where JTF support should be concentrated and describe specific actions to be undertaken to reach a climate-neutral economy, notably as regards the conversion or closure of facilities involving fossil fuel production or other greenhouse gas intensive activities, while maintaining and boosting employment opportunities in the affected territories in order to avoid social exclusion. Those territories should be precisely defined and correspond to NUTS level 3 regions or should be parts thereof. The plans should detail the challenges and needs of those territories and identify the type of operations needed in a manner that ensures the coherent development of climate-resilient economic activities that are also consistent with the transition to climate-neutrality and the objectives of the Green Deal. Only investments in accordance with the transition plans should receive financial support from the JTF. The territorial just transition plans should be part of the programmes (supported by the ERDF, the ESF+, the Cohesion Fund or the JTF, as the case may be) which are approved by the Commission.
