Amendment 121 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 38
(38) The scope of the Modernisation Fund should be aligned with the most recent climate objectives of the Union by requiring that investments are consistent with the objectives of the European Green Deal and Regulation (EU) 2021/1119, and eliminating the support to any investments related to solid fossil fuels. A technology neutral approach should be applied in order to achieve the most cost-effective emission reductions. In addition, the percentage of the Modernisation Fund that needs to be devoted to priority investments should be increased to 80 %; energy efficiency should be targeted as a priority area at the demand side; and support of households to address energy poverty, including in rural and remote areas, should be included within the scope of the priority investments.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 8
(8) The EU ETS should incentivise production from installations that partly or fully reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, the description of some categories of activities in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC should be amended to ensure an equal treatment of installations in the sectors concerned. Due to their public utility nature, the units for the incineration of hazardous or municipal waste should continue to benefit from the exemption from the greenhouse gas emission permit. In addition, free allocation for the production of a product should be independent of the nature of the production process. It is therefore necessary to modify the definition of the products and of the processes and emissions covered for some benchmarks to ensure a level playing field for new and existing technologies. It is also necessary to decouple the update of the benchmark values for refineries and for hydrogen to reflect the increasing importance of production of hydrogen outside the refineries sector.

In addition, 2,5 % of the total quantity of allowances between [year following the entry into force of the Directive] and 2030 and equivalent of 1.5% of the total quantity of allowances from the amount above 400 million allowances set aside in Market Stability Reserve for the purpose of Modernisation Fund shall be auctioned for the Modernisation Fund. The beneficiary Member States for this amount of allowances shall be the Member States with a GDP per capita at market prices below 65 % of the Union average during the period 2016 to 2018. The funds corresponding to this quantity of allowances shall be distributed in accordance with Part B of Annex IIb. In addition, the equivalent of 1.5% of the total quantity of allowances between [year following the entry into force of the Directive] and 2030 from the amount above 400 million allowances set aside in Market Stability Reserve for the purpose of Innovation Fund shall be made available for the Innovation Fund established under Article 10a(8).

Proposal for a directive
Recital 30
(30) The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), established under Regulation (EU) […./..] of the European Parliament and of the Council51 , isntends to complement and progressively offer an alternative to free allocation to address the risk of carbon leakage without undermining the Unions competitiveness. To the extent that sectors and subsectors are covered by that measure, and the measure has proven to be effective in preventing carbon leakage, including on leakage on export markets resulting from any drop in EU exports and investment leakage they should not receive free allocation. However, a transitional phasing-out of free allowances, combined with a reserve and review mechanism, is needed to allow producers, importers and traders to adjust to the new regime. The reduction of and to assess the effective implementation of the CBAM. Once the CBAM has fully demonstrated its effectiveness in equalising CO2 costs between imported and domestic products and in protecting the competitiveness of European exports, the free allocation received by these sectors should be gradually phased out. Once the CBAM has fully demonstrated its effectiveness in equalising CO2 costs between imported and domestic products and in protecting the competitiveness of European exports, free allocation should be implemented by applying a factor to free allocation for CBAM sectors, while the CBAM is phased in. Nonetheless, safeguards should be provided for the products intended for exports. This percentage (CBAM factor) should be equal to 100 % during the transitional period between the entry into force of [CBAM Regulation] and 202530, 980 % in 202631 and should be reduced by 120 percentage points each year to reach 0 % and thereby eliminate free allocation by the tenfifth year. The relevant delegated acts on free allocation should be adjusted accordingly for the sectors and subsectors covered by the CBAM. Theis phase-out of free allocation no longer provided to the CBAM sectors based on this calculation (CBAM demand) must be auctioned and the revenues will accrue to the Innovation Fund, so as to support innovation in low carbon technologies, carbon capture and utilisation (‘CCU’), carbon capture and geological storage (‘CCS’), renewable energy and energy storage, in a way that contributes to mitigating climate change. Special attention should be given to projects in CBAM sectorsshould be kept under review in light of the entry into force and effective implementation of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. To respect the proportion of the free allocation available for the non-CBAM sectors, the final amount to deduct from the free allocation and to be auctioned should be calculated based on the proportion that the CBAM demand represents in respect of the free allocation needs of all sectors receiving free allocation. _________________ 51 [please insert full OJ reference]

Amendment 310 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 30 a (new)
(30a) A temporary Carbon Leakage Protection Reserve should be established between 2031 to 2040, linked to the reduction of free allocation. Each year, the free allocation no longer provided to the CBAM sectors, based on the free allocation phase-out calculation, should be placed into the temporary Carbon Leakage Reserve. To this purpose the Commission shall every year, from 2031 to 2035, present to the European Parliament and Council a report on the effectiveness of this Regulation in lowering carbon leakage. By 28 February, the following year the Commission shall report to the European Parliament and the Council on the entry into force of CBAM and its effectiveness during the preceding year. If the assessment is positive, the allowances placed in the reserve should automatically be made available according to provisions of Article 10a(1b) of Directive 2003/87/EC. If the assessment proves negative impact on lowering carbon leakage, the allowances placed in the reserve should automatically be returned to industry, to mitigate the risk of carbon leakage.
