Paragraph 6 – point c c (new)
(cc) In any case, the ETS should be made simpler by requiring that any purchase of fossil fuels is accompanied by a corresponding purchase of emission allowances, so to establish equal competition between sectors and therefore promoting, the fastest and cheapest way to cut emissions, notes that the present approach provides for a sectoral approach and issue of free allowances in the proportion of around 50% means market mechanisms hardly work, recommends that free allowances should be restricted to the sustainable level and to be distributed according to the principle of "one person- one emission allowance" which expresses the equal right to access to natural resources in a sustainable way,
