Proposal for a regulation
Recital 3
(3) The European Green Deal31 combines a comprehensive set of mutually reinforcing measures and initiatives aimed at achieving climate neutrality in the Union by 2050, and sets out a new growth strategy that aims to transform the Union into a fair and prosperous society, with a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy, where economic growthimprovement in people’s wellbeing is decoupled from resource use. It also aims to protect, conserve and enhance the Union's natural capital, and protect the health and well-being of citizens from environment-related risks and impacts. At the same time, this transition affects women and men differently and has a particular impact on some disadvantaged groups, such as older people, persons with disabilities, persons at risk of energy poverty and persons with a minority racial or ethnic background. It must therefore be ensured that the transition is just and inclusive, leaving no one behind. __________________ 31 Commission Communication - The European Green Deal, COM(2019) 640 final of 11 December 2019.

Amendment 43 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 7
(7) While emissions trading will also apply to greenhouse gas emissions from road and maritime transport as well as buildings, the scope of Regulation (EU) 2018/842 will be maintained. Emissions trading should not become a substitute for robust national emission reduction measures, as it is insufficient to address non-market barriers to deploying clean energy solutions at scale, and insufficient to mitigate the negative impacts of carbon pricing on vulnerable groups and those facing energy poverty. Regulation (EU) 2018/842 will therefore continue applying to the greenhouse gas emissions from domestic navigation, but not to those from international navigation. Greenhouse gas emissions of a Member State within the scope of Regulation (EU) 2018/842 to be taken into account for compliance checks will continue to be determined upon completion of inventory reviews in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and the Council34 . __________________ 34 Regulation (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).

When performing this update, each Member State should align its integrated national energy and climate plan with the 2030 emission limit set for that Member State in column 2 of Annex I to this Regulation. Each Member State shall update their long-term strategies, submitted in line with Regulation (EU) 2018/1999, to make these long-term strategies consistent with the Union’s climate neutrality objective as set out in Article 2, paragraph 1 of Regulation (EU) 2021/1119.
