Recital 11 a (new)
(11 a) More than 75% of the Union's greenhouse gas emissions are energy- related. Therefore, all measures to improve the energy efficiency in a cost- effective way and thus reduce the energy demand should be prioritised and promoted, and duly integrated with climate policy actions across sectors;

Recital 11 b (new)
Recital 11 b (new)
(11 b) In view of the aim of achieving a more effective "Climate Union", the Union and its Member States should make sure that their climate, energy and other sectoral policies mutually reinforce each other and are compatible with the long-term aim of achieving a carbon- neutral world. The impact of energy and sectoral policies on the Union and national climate commitments should be assessed with common quantified methods, so that their impacts are transparent and verifiable.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13 a (new)
Recital 13 a (new)
(13 a) As the sectors covered by this Regulation constitute more than half of the Union´s greenhouse gas emissions, the emission reduction policies in these sectors are highly important in order to fulfil the Union's commitments in accordance with the Paris Agreement. Therefore, the monitoring, reporting and follow up procedures under this Regulation should be fully transparent. Member States and the Commission should make the information concerning compliance with this Regulation publicly available and should ensure the proper involvement of the stakeholders and the public in the review process of this Regulation. The Commission is also urged to create an efficient and transparent system to monitor the outcome of the flexibilities introduced.

Recital 14 a (new)
Recital 14 a (new)
(14 a) In order to meet international commitments and Union targets, it is crucial to make a comprehensive move towards a low-carbon economy. There is an immediate need, therefore, to renew the allocation criteria of different Union funds in order to foster the decarbonisation and energy-efficiency measures in different sectors and guarantee that those funds will not be allocated to projects which do not comply with CO2 reduction targets or policies of the Union. The Commission should carry out a comprehensive, cross-sectorial study of the impact of funding granted from the Union budget or otherwise pursuant to Union law on the mitigation of climate change. The Commission should present to the European Parliament and the Council a report of the findings of that study which should be accompanied, if appropriate, by legislative proposals aimed at discontinuing any Union funding which is not compatible with the CO2 reduction targets or policies of the Union. That should include the proposal of a mandatory ex-ante climate compatibility check which applies to every new Union investment from 1 January 2020 and the obligation to make the results public in a transparent and accessible way.

Recital 18 a (new)
Recital 18 a (new)
(18 a) In addition to the efforts to reduce its own emissions, the Union, in line with the aim of increasing its positive impact on the global carbon footprint, should envisage, together with third countries, climate solutions by implementing joint projects with those countries, in the 2030 climate policy context, taking into account that the Paris Agreement refers to a new international cooperation mechanism for combating climate change.
