Amendment 30 #
Proposal for a regulation
Title 1
Proposal for a REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL amending Regulation (EU) 2018/842 on binding annual greenhouse gas emission reductions by Member States from 2021 to 2030 and beyond contributing to climate action to meet commitments under the Paris Agreement and Regulation (EU) 2021/1119 (‘European Climate Law’) (Text with EEA relevance)

Amendment 84 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 12 a (new)
(12a) While Regulation (EU) 2018/842 is a governance tool that sets GHG emission reductions targets in non-ETS sectors and the provisions on compliance, the increased level of ambition will require substantial changes in the affected sectors which might have social and labour impacts. The revised emission reduction targets need to be accompanied by sufficient financial and policy measures to guarantee that they can be met in a socially fair way. A concerted effort is needed from both public and private entities to raise awareness on the urgent need to act now, to ensure active and meaningful involvement and ownership of citizens and local communities, and to generate additional funding to support the transition to a climate neutral economy. Upskilling and reskilling programmes for entrepreneurs and workers are also needed in order to ensure access to the newest technologies and digital and sustainable skills.

Amendment 91 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13
(13) The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the Union’s economy and its level of emissions to a degree that cannot yet be fully quantified. On the other hand, the Union is deploying its largest stimulus package ever, also having a potential impact on the level of emissions. Due to those uncertainties, it is appropriate to review the emissions data in 2025 and, if necessary, readjust the annual emission allocatiming to guarantee a green recovery and ensure fair climate and digital transitions, which will have a potential impact on the reductions of the Union’s level of emissions.

Amendment 137 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 18 b (new)
(18b) Systemic deficiencies with regard to access to information, decision-making or compliance with environmental law can seriously threaten successful implementation of the Union commitment to the objectives of the Paris Agreement. The right to a legal recourse, to advance a widely shared public interest, remains an essential safeguard for the environment, human health and well-being and sustainable development. Therefore, in accordance with the Aarhus Convention on access to information, public participation in decision-making and access to justice in environmental matters, members of the public concerned should have access to justice in order to contribute to the protection of the right to live in an environment which is adequate for personal health and well-being and where the impacts of climate change and continued environmental degradation are addressed by the Member States as a matter of priority and urgency.

Amendment 373 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 7 g (new)
Regulation (EU) 2018/842
Article 15b (new)
(7g) The following article is inserted: “Article 15b Access to justice 1. Member States shall ensure that, natural or legal persons or their associations, organisations or groups, in accordance with national legislation or practice, have access to a review procedure before a court of law or another independent and impartial body established by law to challenge the substantive or procedural legality of decisions, actions or omissions related to the obligations pursuant to Article 4 of this Regulation, when one of the following conditions is fulfilled: (a) they have a sufficient interest; (b) they maintain the impairment of a right, where the administrative procedural law of the relevant Member State requires this as a precondition. 2. Member States shall determine at what stage the decisions, acts or omissions may be challenged. 3. What constitutes a sufficient interest and impairment of a right shall be determined by Member States, consistently with the objective of giving the public concerned wide access to justice in line with the Aarhus Convention. To that end, the interest of any non- governmental organisation promoting environmental protection and meeting the requirements under national law shall be deemed sufficient for the purposes of paragraph 1, point (a). Such organisations shall also be deemed to have rights capable of being impaired for the purposes of paragraph 1, point (b). 4. Paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 shall not exclude the possibility of a preliminary review procedure before an administrative authority and shall not affect the requirement of exhaustion of administrative review procedures prior to recourse to judicial review procedures, where such a requirement exists under national law. 5. Any such review procedure referred to in paragraph 1 and 4 shall be fair, equitable, timely and not prohibitively expensive. 6. Member States shall ensure that practical information is made easily available to the public on access to administrative and judicial review procedures.”
