(-1) The Paris Agreement, adopted in December 2015 under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) entered into force in November 2016 (“the Paris Agreement”). Its Parties have agreed to hold the increase in the global average temperature well below 2 °C above pre- industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1,5 °C above pre-industrial levels. By adopting the Glasgow Climate Pact, the Parties to the Paris Agreement recognised that limiting the increase in the global average temperature to 1,5 °C above pre-industrial levels would significantly reduce the risks and impacts of climate change, and they committed to strengthening their 2030 targets by the end of 2022 to close the ambition gap, in line with the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). This should be done in a manner that is equitable and respects the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities, in the light of different national circumstances.

(1) Since the adoption of Regulation (EU) 2021/241 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing the Recovery and Resilience Facility,3 unprecedented geopolitical events and theirRussia’s unprovoked invasion to sovereign Ukraine and its direct and indirect socio-economic consequences have considerably affected the Union’s society and economy. In particular, it has become clearer than ever that increasing the Union’s energy securityautonomy by rapidly moving away from a fossil fuel dependent energy system is indispensable for a successful, sustainable and inclusive recovery from the COVID-19 crisis, as it is also a major factor contributing to the resilience of the European economy and global peace efforts, as financing fossil fuels contributes significantly to geopolitical conflicts, particularly in the case of fossil fuels from Russian origins. __________________ 3 Regulation (EU) 2021/241 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 February 2021 establishing the Recovery and Resilience Facility (OJ L 57, 18.2.2021, p. 17).

(3) The Versailles Declaration of 10-11 March 2022 of the Heads of States and Governments invited the Commission to propose by the end of May a REPowerEU plan to phase out the dependency on Russian fossil fuel imports, which was subsequently reiterated in the European Council Conclusions of 24-25 March 2022. This should be done well before 2030 in a way that is consistent with the EU’s Green Deal and the climate objectives for 2030 and, 2050 and beyond enshrined in the European Climate Law. Regulation (EU) 2021/241 should therefore be amended to enhance its ability to support reforms and investments dedicated to diversifyecarbonising energy supplies, in particular hastening the phase out of fossil fuels, thereby strengthening the strategic autonomy of the Union alongside an open economy. Support should also be given to reforms and investments increasing the energy efficiency of the Member States’ economies.

(4) To maximise complementarity, consistency and coherence of policies and actions taken by the Union and Member States to foster independence and security of the Union’s energy supply and to tackle climate change, while safeguarding vulnerable households across the Union, these energy-related reforms and investments should be established through a dedicated ‘REPowerEU chapter’ of the recovery and resilience plans.

Recital 4 a (new)
(4a) REPowerEU chapter should contribute to security of energy supply, affordability of energy and climate change mitigation by increasing investment to renewable energy, as defined in Article 2, second paragraph, point 1 of Directive (EU) 2018/2001, in the Union. In order to support the deployment of most sustainable and advanced biofuels, the share of funding mobilized under the REPowerEU should only support investments in advanced biofuels as defined in Article 2, second paragraph, point 34, of Directive (EU)2018/2001. For sustainability reasons, investments to particularly feed and food crop-based fuels, including high indirect land-use change risk biofuels such as those derived from palm oil, should not be eligible. These investments may lead to indirect land-use change, that occurs when the cultivation of crops for biofuels displaces traditional production of crops for food and feed purposes. Such additional demand increases the pressure on land and can lead to the extension of agricultural land into areas with high- carbon stock, such as forests, wetlands and peatland, causing additional greenhouse gas emissions and loss of biodiversity concerns. In addition, these changes would worsen the current global food crisis caused by Russia’s invasion to Ukraine by increasing scarcity of food.

(8) Investments in infrastructure and technologies alone are not sufficient to ensure a reduction of dependency frompathway leading to the phase out of fossil fuels. Resources should be dedicated to the reskilling and upskilling of people, to further equip the workforce with green skills and to deliver a just transition that leaves no one behind. This is in line with the objective of the European Social Fund Plus, which aims at supporting Member States in achieving a skilled and resilient workforce ready for the future world of work. In light of this, resources transferred from the European Social Fund Plus should help support measures for the reskilling and upskilling of the workforce. The Commission will assess whether the measures included in the REPowerEU chapters significantly contribute to supporting a requalification of the workforce towards green skills.

(8a) The United Nations Environment Programme and the OECD Global Forum on Environment have concluded that environmental changes have gender- specific impact. Gender-differentiated roles also result in differentiated vulnerabilities for all genders in relation to the effects of climate change, and climate change impacts exacerbate gender inequalities. Decision (EU) 2022/591 of the European Parliament and of the Council defines gender mainstreaming throughout climate and environmental policies, including by incorporating a gender perspective at all stages of the policy-making process, as one of the enabling conditions to attain the priority objectives of Union’s environmental policies up to 2030. In light of this, RePowerEU chapters and their implementation should contribute to enhancing gender equality in the Union. Member States should assess whether the measures included in the REPowerEU chapters contribute to supporting gender equality.

Recital 8 b (new)
(8b) In order to reduce dependency to fossil fuels, investment are needed to novel technologies and to reskilling and upskilling of workers. However, demand- side measures are an efficient and often cost-efficient tool to reduce fossil fuel use. Many of these policy tools are largely unutilized in the Union and its Member States and should be mobilized under the REPowerEU measures. In addition to reduce fossil fuel dependencies, demand- side measures often bring along health benefits.

(11) An effective transition towards greenewable and sustainable energy and a reduction of fossil energy dependency involves significant digital investments. In light of Regulation (EU) 2021/241, Member States should provide an explanation of how the measures in the recovery and resilience plan, including those included in the REPowerEU chapter, are expected to contribute to the digital transition or the challenges resulting therefrom and whether they account for an amount contributing to the digital target based on the methodology for digital tagging. However, given the unprecedented urgency and importance of energy challenges faced by the Union, reforms and investments included in the REPowerEU chapter should not be taken into account when calculating the plan’s total allocation for the purpose of applying the digital target requirement set by Regulation (EU) 2021/241.

(13) The application of the ‘do no significant harm’ principle is essential to ensure that the investments and reforms undertaken as part of the recovery from the pandemic are implemented in a sustainable manner. It should continue to apply to the reforms and investments supported by the Facility, with one targeted exemption to safeguard the EU’ immediate energy security concerns. Considering the objective of diversifying energy supplies away from Russian suppliers, the reforms and investments set out in those REPowerEU chapters which aim to improve energy infrastructure and facilities to meet immediate security of supply needs for oil and gas should not be required to comply with and do not create path- dependencies that are incompatible with the European Green Deal and the Paris Agreement. It should continue to apply to the reforms and investments supported by the Facility and the REPowerEU chapters. Hastening the transition towards renewable energy, increasing energy efficiency and putting in place energy demand-side measures are the only answers to geopolitical risks associated with energy supply and to guarantee a sustainable future for the current and future generations. Special attention must be given to vulnerable households and small and microenterprises when implementing these principle of ‘do no significant harm’ and should therefore be exempted from such assessmentolicies in order to deliver a just and inclusive transition.

(16) While eExtending the current intake rate of allowances to the Market Stability Reserve is needed to prevent in long term a significant increase of the surplus of allowances in the greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Union, the current economical and geopolitical situation requires the Union to mobilise available resources to rapidly diversify Union’s energy supply and reduce dependence on fossil fuels before 2030. In this context, Decision (EU) 2015/1814 of the European Parliament. The function of the Market Stability Reserve is to tackle structural supply-demand imbalances of the EU ETS and to facilitate and of the Council4 and Directive 2003/87/ECrderly function of the European Pcarliament and of the Council5 should be amended to extend the doubling of the 24% intake rate of the Market Stability Reserve until 2030, while allowing for an exceptional release and monetisation of a portion of allowances frombon market.

(18) Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 of the European Parliament and of the Council7 should also be amended to allow for a possibility to deliver up to 12.5% of the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development through the Recovery and Resilience Facility. Such method of delivery is justified by complementarity and synergies between these instruments with regard to the objectives of reducing the use of synthetic fertilisers, or increasing production of sustainable and waste-based biomethane or renewable energy, in accordance with the objectives of the Common Agricultural Policy set out in Article 39 of TFEU. The delivery via the Recovery and Resilience Facility should accelerate the disbursement of funds to beneficiaries from the agricultural sector which is vital considering the urgency of the energy- related objectives. __________________ 7 Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 2 December 2021 establishing rules on support for strategic plans to be drawn up by Member States under the common agricultural policy (CAP Strategic Plans) and financed by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) and by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) and repealing Regulations (EU) No 1305/2013 and (EU) No 1307/2013 (OJ L 435, 6.12.2021, p. 1).

(22) Recent geopolitical eventsussia’s invasion to Ukraine haves affected prices of energy and construction materials and have also caused shortages in the global supply chains. These developments may have a direct impact on the capacity to implement some investments included in the recovery and resilience plans. To the extent that Member States can demonstrate that such developments make a specific milestone or target, either totally or partially, no longer achievable, such situations may be invoked as objective circumstances under Article 21. These developments cannot constitute objective circumstances for revising reforms, as reforms are generally not cost dependent. In addition, no request for amendments should undermine the overall implementation of the recovery and resilience plans.
