Recital 2 a (new)
(2a) By 1 January 2017, the Commission should review the provisions for free allocation, in view of effectively preventing carbon leakage, introducing a more dynamic methodology that prevents over-allocation and incentivising carbon- efficient growth. While the market stability reserve helps to overcome the structural imbalance of supply and demand that stems from free allocation based on historical activity levels, it does not incentivise carbon efficient growth, nor prevent carbon leakage. The review should ensure that best performers do not have direct or indirect additional costs, but receive full free allocation of technically achievable benchmarks.

Article 3 – paragraph 1
By 31 December 2026, the Commission shall on the basis of an analysis of the orderly functioning of the European carbon market review the market stability reserve and submit a proposal, where appropriate, to the European Parliament and to the Council. The review shall pay particular attention to the impact on industrial competitiveness, the risk of carbon leakage and the percentage figure for the determination of the number of allowances to be placed into the reserve according to Article 1(3) and the numerical value of the threshold for the total number of allowances in circulation set by Article 1(4).
