Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6
(6) Achieving climate neutrality should require a reasonable contribution from all economic sectors. In light, and be based ofn 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‘polluter pays’ principle without undermining the security and affordability of the energy system. The digital transformation, technological innovation, and research and development are also important drivers for achieving the climate-neutrality objective.

(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 ensureAnthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are inextricably linked to economic activity, as demonstrated by the fact that from the post-war period to the present there has been an almost continuous growth in global CO2 emissions, which was temporarily halted only by the onset of the 2007-2008 economic crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic its consistency with theexpected to trigger the sharpest economic downturn since the Great Depression. Achieving climate- neutrality objecwithin the tivme for 2050. In that Communicationrame set by the European Council will have a pro-cyclical effect, twhe Commission underlined that all Union policies should contribute to thereas it is of paramount importance to implement robust anti-cyclical policies. Therefore, the deadline for achieving climate- neutrality objective and that all sectors should play their part. By Septshould be put back until a date to be determined, but not before 2070. Moreover, by December 20201, the Commission should, based on a comprehensive impact assessment and taking into accountthat takes into account the medium- to long- term socio-economic consequences of the pandemic, as well as 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, review the Union’s 2030 target for climate and explore options for a new 2030 target of 50 to 55 % emission reductions compared with 1990 levelsthat is lower than the current one. Where it considers necessary to amend the Union’s 2030 target, 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 1990e relevant Union legislation as appropriate. _________________ 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).
