(3a) The European Council conclusions of 23 and 24 October 2014 on the 2030 Climate and Energy Policy Framework give clear guidance on the continuation of free allocations and carbon leakage provisions after 2020, stating that "the most efficient installations in the sectors at risk of losing international competitiveness should not face undue carbon costs leading to carbon leakage" and that "future allocations will ensure better alignment with changing production levels in different sectors" and "at the same time, incentives for industry to innovate will be fully preserved and administrative complexity will not be increased." The conclusions further underline that both direct and indirect costs for the respective industry sectors will be taken into account as well as the need for affordable energy prices. It is of paramount importance that the Commission reviews the functioning of Directive 2003/87/EC in that respect.

(3a) The Commission Regulation (EU) No 176/2014 of 25 February 2014 amending Regulation (EU) No 1031/2010 in particular to determine the volumes of greenhouse gas emission allowances to be auctioned in 2013-201a has back-loaded 900 million allowances to the end of the phase 3. The impact of the auctioning of these back-loaded allowances in 2019 and 2020 would run counter to the desired effect of the current proposal for a market stability reserve. Therefore, the back- loaded allowances should not be auctioned but instead be taken up directly in the market stability reserve. ____________ 1a OJ L 56, 26.2.2014, p.56.
