(1a) Following the Commission’s presentation of its priorities at the start of the term, the EU, together with the rest of the world, has had to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic and its health and economic effects. This should lead to a rethink of these objectives in the short and medium term, setting as priorities both giving a boost to an economy battered by the impact of the pandemic and resolving the health and social emergencies caused by the pandemic. To that end, priority should be given to economic development and job creation.

(3) In order to be successful, the transition has to be fair and socially acceptable for all, contributing, ultimately, to the economic development of the European Union, preserving its founding principles, such as its internal market policies. Therefore, both the Union and the Member States must take into account its economic and social implications from the outset, and deploy all possible instruments to mitigate adverse consequences, and thus take account of those particularly affected by these policies, the young and the elderly. The Union budget has an important role in that regard.

(8) Transitioning to a climate-neutral economy is a challenge for all Member States. It will be particularly demanding for those Member States that rely or, until recently, have relied heavily on fossil fuels or greenhouse gas intensive industrial activities which need to be phased out or which need to adapt due to the transition towards climate neutrality and that lack the financial means to do so. The JTF should therefore cover all Member States, but the distribution of its financial means should reflect the capacity of Member States to finance the necessary investments to cope with the transition towards climate neutrality.
