Recital D
D. whereas ensuring effective and meaningful carbon pricing, as part of a broaderthe regulatory environment, can act as anmust be the key economic incentive to spur investments in the decarbonisation of the Union’s economy;

Motion for a resolution
Recital E a (new)
Recital E a (new)
Ea. whereas an effective, legally certain and bureaucratically adequate CBAM cannot be considered an aim in itself but must be considered as an appropriate step towards achieving global carbon pricing in a globally imbalanced landscape of climate policies, therefore expectations on its ability to deliver should be grounded in realistic assumptions;
Amendment 84 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Is deeply concerned that currently none of the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) submitted, including those of the Union and its Member States, are in line with the objective of holding the global temperature increase, as provided by the Paris Agreement, to well below 2°C, while pursuing efforts to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels;
Amendment 102 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Strongly deplores the non- cooperative and disloyal behaviourTakes note of the different level of ambition of some of the Union’s trade partners in international climate negotiations, as recently observed at COP25; considers that this behaviour hampers our collective global ability to reach the objectives of the Paris Agreement;
Amendment 139 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Takes note of the Commission’s proposal to set the Union’s 2030 climate target to ‘at least 55 % net emissions reduction’ compared to 1990 levels; highlights, however, that this target does not repree European Parliament sent the Union’s highest possible ambition, nor does it reflect the principle of equity and common but differentiated responsibilitiesout a higher 2030 target of 60% emission reductions compared to 1990;
Amendment 189 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Reiterates that the introduction of a CBAM should be part of a broader Union industrial policy that is both environmentally ambitious and socially fair, aiming at steering a decarbonised reindustrialisation of Europe that will avoid carbon leakage, create local jobs and ensure the competitiveness of the European economy on global markets while fulfilling the Union’s climate ambition;
Amendment 210 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Considers that a CBAM should cover all imports, but that in sectors covered by the EU ETS and avoid distortions in the EU internal market; as a starting point already by 2023 it should cover the power sector and energy-intensive industrial sectors exposed the most to carbon leakage, like cement, steel, chemicals and fertilisers, which continue to receive substantial free allocations, and still represent 94 % of Union industrial emissionstill represent 94 % of Union industrial emissions; in order to avoid carbon leakage, a CBAM should covered imports of commodities and processed products;
Amendment 303 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 11
Paragraph 11
11. Points out that a CBAM is not per se inmust be compatible with WTO rules, and highlights the necessity for any CBAM to be designed with the highest environmental integrity in mindsole purpose of preventing carbon leakage by levelling the playing field for international trade for as long as different levels of climate policy ambitions persist internationally;
Amendment 320 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12
Paragraph 12
12. Underlines the principle of non- discrimination under GATT Article III; stresses that treating imports and domestic production in the same way is a key criterion for ensuring WTO compatibility of any measure, and that, therefore, all existing measures on carbon leakage under Union law should immediately cease to applybe phased out, in parallel with the implementation of the EU ETS carbon price on imports, as soon as the CBAM enters into force, as this mechanism would apply carbon pricing to imports similar to what is applied to EU installations under the EU ETS; stresses however that this should not lead to double advantages for EU installations;
Amendment 345 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13
Paragraph 13
13. Calls on the Commission to address this concern during the upcoming reform of the EU ETS, ensuring the EU ETS delivers, through ambitious and meaningful carbon pricing, on the necessary GHG emissions reduction in line with the updated 2030 Union climate target and the objective of reaching net zero GHG emissions within the Union by 2050 at the latest, fully respecting the polluter pays principle; stresses that export rebates risk creating perverse climate effects, incentivising less efficient production methods for European exporting industries; urges the Commission to refrain from including export rebates in its proposal; is of the opinion that the phasing out of free allowances should be considered with the introduction of export rebates in order to ensure a level-playing field within and outside the EU for European companies; these rebates should be designed to incorporate free allowances in their calculation, based on benchmarks reflecting the most efficient installations, and therefore to maintain GHG reduction incentives for EU exporting companies; export rebates should not lead to any kind of competitive advantages for EU exporting industries in third countries; stresses that the Commission should carry out a proper analysis regarding the WTO-compatibility of export rebates as well as mechanism to avoid market distortions for sectors covered by a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism;
Amendment 351 #
