Proposal for a regulation
Recital 1
(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 and competitive economy, where there are no net emissions of greenhouse gases in 2050 and where economic growth is decoupled from resource use. It also aims to protect, conserve and enhance the Union’s natural capital, and protect the health and well- being of citizens from environment-related risks and impacts. At the same time, this transition must be economically feasible, based on the latest independent scientific evidence and just and inclusive, leaving no one behind. _________________ 19 Commission Communication - The European Green Deal, COM(2019) 640 final of 11 December 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 action. 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 likelihoodthe basis for the need to step up climate adaptation measures. The IPCC report also found little to no evidence that global warming caused many types of extreme weather events to increase. 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.

(4) The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (the ´Paris Agreement´) was signed by the EU Member States and the EU as a supranational organisation and, as a result of this and the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) submitted in this context, it has a binding force which is reflected inter alia in Regulation EU 2018/1999. The Paris Agreement sets out a long-term goal to keep the global temperature increase to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to keep it to 1.5 °C above pre- industrial levels23 , and stresses the importance of adapting to the adverse impacts of climate change24 and making finance flows consistent with a pathway towards lowdespite the ongoing scientific debate involving different views of the causes of climate change.

(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 essentialresilience should be a goal for all Member States. The digital transformation, technological innovation, and research and development are also important drivers for achieving the climate-neutralityresilience objective.

Recital 18
(18) To ensure the Union and the Member States remain on track to achieve the climate-neutrality objective and progress on adaptation, the Commission should regularly assess progress. Should the collective progress made by Member States towards the achievement of the climate-neutrality objective or on adaptation be insufficient or Union measures inconsistent with the climate- neutrality objective or inadequate to enhance adaptive capacity, strengthen resilience or reduce vulnerability, the Commission should take the necessary measures in accordance with the Treaties. The Commission should also regularly assess relevant national measures, and issue recommendations where it fihe Commission, as an executing authority, respecting subsidiarity and proportionality, is permitted to draw up an overview of the policies of the EU Member States in the sense of a rational environmental policy ands that a Member State’s measures are inconsistent with the climate-neutrality objective or inadequate to enhance adaptive capacity, strengthen resilience and reduce vulnerability to climate changeo comment on them in the sense of non-binding recommendations.

(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 neutrality is irreversible, to ensure gradual reduction over time and to assist in the assessment of the consistency of measures and progrhe current ideologically based so-called “climate policy” must be transformed into a rational environmental policy. This is primarily the responsibility of the EU Member Statess, with the climate-neutrality objective,hich can coordinate their 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 achievlicies at EU level as required, without an EU institution unduly attempting to usurp competences that are ing net zero greenhouse gas emissions in the Union by 2050. It is of particular importance thato way covered by the Lisbon Treaties. In order to promote a rational environmental policy, the Commission may carriesy 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 of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making37 . 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. _________________ 37 OJ L 123, 12.5.2016, p. 1.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 22
(22) In line with the Commission’s commitment to the principles on Better Law-Making, coherence of the Union instruments as regards greenhouse gas emissions reductions should be sought. The system of measuring the progress towards the achievement of the climate- neutrality objective as well as the consistency of measures taken with that objective should build upon and be consistent with the governance framework laid down in Regulation (EU) 2018/1999. In particular, the system of reporting on a regular basis and the sequencing of the Commission’s assessment and actions on the basis of the reporting should be aNot only in the light of the COVID-19 pandemic and its currently not assessable effects, the governance framework laid down in Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 need to be reviewed and, where necessary, amended in ligned to the requirements to submit information and provide reports by Member States laid down in Regulation (EU) 2018/1999. Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 should therefore be amended in order to include the climate-neutrality objective in the relevant provisions with the principles of a rational environmental policy, subject to new conclusions from the European Council.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 23
(23) Climate change 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,The Member States have the primary competence to formulate a rational environmental policy. They can voluntarily coordinate their policies at EU level if necessary. The principle of subsidiarity must be respected. This concerns also the national parliamentary scrutiny according to articles 5(3) and 12(b) TEU.

To this end, the EU Member States and the EU institutions must review, question and, if necessary, adapt all existing policies. When taking measures to protect the environment and adapt to climate change at national and Union level, Member States and the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission should pay particular attention to the medium and long-term socio-economic consequences of the Corona crisis, the well-being of citizens, the prosperity of society and the competitiveness of the economy.

Amendment 423 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 2 – paragraph 1
1. Union-wide emissions and removals of greenhouse gases regulated in Union law shall be balanced at the latest by 2050, thus reducing emissions to net zero by that date. The 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 are 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 our economy, that the EU institutions and their 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, Directive 2012/27/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.

Proposal for a regulation
Article 3 – paragraph 1
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 EU Member States and thus at EU level of the European Council.
