Recital 1
(1) This Regulation sets out the necessary legislative foundation for a reliable and transparent Governance that ensures the achievement of the 2030 objectives and targets of the Energy Union through complementary, coherent and ambitiousproportional efforts by the Union and its Member States, while promotingadhering to the Union's Better Regulation principles.

Recital 6 a (new)
Recital 6 a (new)
(6a) Despite the regrettable unilateral decision of the US administration to withdraw from the Paris Agreement the Council reconfirmed on 19 June 2017 that the EU remains committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels.
Amendment 268 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6 b (new)
Recital 6 b (new)
(6b) Even though the EU pledged to deliver the far most ambitious cuts in GHG emissions by 2030 it cannot combat the climate change threat alone. The Commission and Member States should use every opportunity to persuade especially those countries profiting from international trade with the EU to assume a proportional share of global responsibility and raise the level of their ambition to the one of the EU.
Amendment 272 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6 c (new)
Recital 6 c (new)
(6c) For the climate system it is the cumulative total anthropogenic emissions over time that are relevant for the total concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. In order to be consistent with principle of shared responsibility it is necessary to establish Union fair share on global climate action and ensure balance between mitigation and adaptation effort.
Amendment 309 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13
Recital 13
(13) The socially acceptable transition to a low-carbon economy requires changes in investment behaviour and, resilient and socially cohesive economy requires substantial changes in current policies suffering from overlaps and lack of coordination between policy areas. Coordination of incentives across the entire policy spectrum needs to be urgently improved. Achieving greenhouse gas emission reductions requires a boost to efficiency and innovation in the European economy and in particular should also create sustainable jobs and lead to improvements of air quality.
Amendment 331 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 16
Recital 16
(16) In line with the Commission's strong commitment to Better Regulation, the Energy Union Governance should result in a significant reduction of administrative burden for the Member States, the Commission and other Union Institutions and it should help to ensure coherence and adequacy of policies and measures at Union and national level with regard to the transformation of the energy system towards agradual transition towards a resilient, socially cohesive and low-carbon economy.
Amendment 378 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 22
Recital 22
(22) National plans should be stable to ensure transparency and predictability of national policies and measures in order to ensure investor certainty. Updates of national plans should however be foreseen once during the ten-year period covered to give Member States the opportunity to adapt to significant changing circumstances. For the plans covering the period from 2021 to 2030, Member States should be able to update their plans by 1 January 2024. Targets, objectives and contributions should onlycan be modified to reflect an increased overall ambition in particular as regards the 2030 targets for energy and climate as well as economic development and other relevant circumstances. As part of the updates, Member States should make efforts to mitigate any adverse environmental impacts that become apparent as part of the integrated reporting.
Amendment 397 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 24
Recital 24
(24) As is the case for planning, sectorial Union legislation in the energy and climate fields sets out reporting requirements, manysome of which have been useful tools to drive change at the national level, but those requirements have been introduced at different moments in time which has led to overlaps and insufficient consideration of synergies and interactions between policy areas such as GHG mitigation, renewable energy, energy efficiency and market integration and to unintended economic and social consequences in many Member states. To strike the right balance between the need to ensure a proper follow-up of the implementation of national plans and the need to reduce administrative burden, Member States should establish biennial progress reports on the implementation of the plans and other developments in the energy system. Some reporting however, particularly with regard to reporting requirements in the climate field stemming from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change ("UNFCCC") and Union Regulations, would still be necessary on a yearly basis.
Amendment 431 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 35
Recital 35
(35) Should the ambition of integrated national energy and climate plans or their updates be insufficient for the collective achievement of the Energy Union objectives and, for the first period, in particular the 2030 targets for renewable energy and energy efficiency, the Commission should take measures at Union level in order to ensure the collective achievement of these objectives and targets (thereby closing any 'ambition gap'). Should progress made by the Union towards these objectives and targets be insufficient for their delivery, the Commission should, in addition to issuing recommendations, take measures at Union level or Member States should take additional measures in order to ensure achievement of these objectives and targets (thereby closing any 'delivery gap'). Such measures should take into account early ambitious contributions made by Member States to the 2030 targets for renewable energy and energy efficiency when sharing the effort for collective target achievement. In the area of renewable energy, such measures can also include financial contributions by Member States to a financing platform managed by the Commission, which would be used to contribute to renewable energy projects across the Union. Member States' national renewable energy targets for 2020 should serve as baseline shares of renewable energy from 2021 onwards. In the area of energy efficiency, additional measures can in particular aim at improving the energy efficiency of products, buildings and transport.
