Amendment 47 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13
(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 and advance the green transition of the European Union. It should continue to apply to the reforms and investments supported by the Facility, with one targeted and timely 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 and are completed by 31 December 2025 should not be required to comply with the principle of ‘do no significant harm’ and should therefore be exempted from such assessment. To ensure that such an exemption does not jeopardise the integrity of the European Union’s 2030 and 2050 climate targets, the Commission should also include an assessment of the climate and environmental impacts of this time-limited derogation and measures how to compensate them in its annual reports. In addition, this derogation should only be applicable to 25% of the total estimated cost of the REPowerEU chapter of each plan.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13 b (new)
(13b) Energy efficiency and renewable energies are the only solution to green our energy use. Therefore, it is imperative that all Member States take this chance and divert their investments under this Regulation in the achievement of their medium and long-term climate and energy targets. Therefore, Member States should only be able to receive revenues for their REPowerEU chapters under the condition that they have implemented the increased targets for EED and RED as proposed by the Commission under Directive (EU) 2022/222 (RePowerEU).

Amendment 67 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 16
(16) While extending 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 and of the Council4 and Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament 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 temporary and exceptional release and monetisation of a portionnumber of allowances from the Market Stability Reserve and directing revenues towards reforms and investments contributing to REPowerEU objectives, in the Recovery and Resilience Facility framework, without impacting the achievement of the Union’s 2030 climate target. Therefore, the same number of allowances should be placed back in the Market Stability Reserve following the end of this temporary and exceptional release and monetisation of allowances and by 2030 at the latest. __________________ 4 Decision (EU) 2015/1814 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 October 2015 concerning the establishment and operation of a market stability reserve for the Union greenhouse gas emission trading scheme and amending Directive 2003/87/EC, OJ L 264/1 5 Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC
