Amendment 48 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 1
(1) Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council15 established a system for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Union in order to promote reductions of greenhouse gas emissions in a cost- effective and economically efficient manner in order to safeguard the international competitiveness of EU industry that does not lead to carbon and investment leakage. __________________ 15 Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC (OJ L 275, 25.10.2003, p. 32).

Amendment 122 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 9
(9) Member States should partiaall fully compensate, in accordance with state aid rules, certaindirect costs for installations in sectors or sub-sectors which have been determined to be exposed to a significant risk of carbon leakage because of costs related to greenhouse gas emissions passed on in electricity prices. This objective must be achieved through a harmonised EU approach. The Protocol and accompanying decisions adopted by the Conference of the Parties in Paris need to provide for the dynamic mobilisation of climate finance, technology transfer and capacity building for eligible Parties, particularly those with least capabilities. Public sector climate finance will continue to play an important role in mobilising resources after 2020. Therefore, auction revenues should also be used for climate financing actions in vulnerable third countries, including adaptation to the impacts of climate. The amount of climate finance to be mobilised will also depend on the ambition and quality of the proposed Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs), subsequent investment plans and national adaptation planning processes. Member States should also use auction revenues to promote skill formation and reallocation of labour affected by the transition of jobs in a decarbonising economy.

Directive 2003/87/EC
Article 10 a – paragraph 2
The benchmark values for free allocation shall be adjusted in order to avoid windfall profits and reflect technological progress in the period between 2007-8 and each later period for which free allocations are determined in accordance with Article 11(1). This adjustment shall reduce the benchmark values set by the act adopted pursuant to Article 10a by 1% of the value that was set based on 2007-8 data in respect of each year between 2008 and the middle of the relevant period of free allocation, unless:For the 2021-2030 period, the benchmark shall be determined as the average performance of the 10% most efficient installations in a sector or a sub-sector in the European Union in the years 2013- 2017. In defining the benchmarks, the Commission shall consult the relevant stakeholders, including the sectors and sub-sectors concerned. Data used to determine the benchmarks shall be representative, robust, transparent and easily available. The Commission shall publish the new values of the benchmark for each sector or sub-sector and the reasoned explanations.

Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 5 – point d
Directive 2003/87/EC
Article 10a Paragraph 6 – subparagraph 1
Member States should adopt financial measures in favour of installations in sectors or sub- sectors which are exposed to a genuine risk of carbon leakage due to significant indirect costs that are actually incurred from greenhouse gas emission costs passed on in electricity prices receive harmonised financial compensation financed as set out in Article 10 for such costs, taking into account any effects on the internal market. Such financial measures to compensate part of these costs shall be in accordance with state aid rules. The compensation should be applied in a manner that prevents negative effects on the internal market and overcompensation. Where the amount of compensation as defined in Article 10 is not sufficient to compensate for all eligible costs, the amount of aid for all eligible installations is reduced uniformly. The Commission shall be empowered to adopt a delegated act for this purpose in accordance with Article 23.
