(i) the following two subparagraphs are inserted after the second subparagraph: ‘In the case of installations covered by the obligation to conduct an energy audit under Article 8(4) of Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council(*) [Article reference to be updated with the revised Directive], free allocation shall only be granted fully if the recommendations of the audit report are implemented, to the extent that the pay-back time for the relevant investments does not exceed five years and that the costs of those investments are proportionate. Otherwise, the amount of free allocation shall be reduced by 25 %. The amount of free allocation shall not be reduced if an operator demonstrates that it has implemented other measures which lead to greenhouse gas emission reductions equivalent to those recommended by the audit report. The measures referred to in the first subparagraph shall be adjusted accordingly. No free allocation shall be given to installations in sectors or subsectors to the extent they are covered by other measures to address the risk of carbon leakage as established by Regulation (EU) …./..

The measures referred to in the first subparagraph shall be adjusted accordingly _________ (*) Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on energy efficiency, amending Directives 2009/125/EC and 2010/30/EU and repealing Directives 2004/8/EC and 2006/32/EC (OJ L 315, 14.11.2012, p. 1).”; (**) [CBAM full reference]’deleted

Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 12 – point b

Directive 2003/87/EC
Article 10 a – paragraph 1 a – new

1a. No free allocation shall be given in relation to the production of products listed in Annex I of Regulation [CBAM] as from the date of application of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. By way of derogation from the previous subparagraph, for the first years of operation of Regulation [CBAM], the production of these products shall benefit from free allocation in reduced amounts. A factor reducing the free allocation for the production of these products shall be applied (CBAM factor). The CBAM factor shall be equal to 100 % for the period during the entry into force of [CBAM regulation] and the end of 2025, 90 % in 2026 and shall be reduced by 10 percentage points each year to reach 0 % by the tenth year. The reduction of free allocation shall be calculated annually as the average share of the demand for free allocation for the production of products listed in Annex I of Regulation [CBAM] compared to the calculated total free allocation demand for all installations, for the relevant period referred to in Article 11, paragraph 1. The CBAM factor shall be applied. Allowances resulting from the reduction of free allocation shall be made available to support innovation in accordance with Article 10a(8).;deleted
