Recital 2
(2) For the purposes of legal certainty and market predictability, it should be clarified that, in order to ensure an orderly functioning of the market, the Commission is able in exceptional circumstances to adapt the auction timetable pursuant to Article 10(4) of Directive 2003/87/EC. ’ the Commission is called upon to examine the following points before considering any adaptation to be made in exceptional circumstances to the auction timetable pursuant to Article 10(4) of Directive 2003/87/EC. 1. It should be ascertained whether such an adaptation would be compatible with the Commission’s reindustrialisation target, whereby industry is to account for 20% of European GDP by 2020; 2. It should be ensured that the auction timetable may not be adapted unless there were a danger that the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by 2020 might not be possible to achieve; 3. Before such far-reaching action is envisaged, an impact assessment should be carried out in order to gauge the effects on competitiveness and employment; it should be ensured, in keeping with the ‘smart regulation’ approach, that competitiveness-proofing checks will be carried out; 4. SME tests should likewise be employed to gauge the impact of the adaptation on small and medium-sized enterprises; 5. In addition, it is necessary to determine which aids and subsidies are harming the CO2 balance and which ones are having beneficial effects, the object being to ascertain whether amendment of the Directive would improve the CO2 balance or whether there are further opportunities to act in other areas; 6. If, after through examination, the auction timetable were to be altered by means of a change to the quantities of allowances to be auctioned, such action should not be followed by permanent deletion of allowances or bring about an adjustment of the maximum emission limit laid down for 2020; to compensate for the resulting disruption to the market, it should be ensured in addition that the list of carbon leakage sectors would not be shortened.
