Motion for a resolution
Recital B
Recital B
B. whereas, according to the European Environmental Agency, in 2009 the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions were 17.3% lower than in 1990; whereas this reduction is due in part to the financial crisis, which has led cuts in industrial production and consumption,
Amendment 55 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital F
Recital F
F. whereas, according to the Commission, stepping up effort to 30% stepping up effort to a 30% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared with 1990 levels while the other countries retain their low pledges would have a limited incremental impact on the EU’s energy intensive industry, as long as the special measures for industry stay in place,
Amendment 96 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Calls for the Commission to come forward with proposals to move to a 30% greenhouse gas reduction target for 2020Points out that, according to IEA estimates, each year low carbon energy investment is delayed adds €300-400 billion to the initial cost at global level; calls for the Commission to come forward with a set of projected long-term measures up to 2050 in order to plan investments as effectively as possible, as soon as possible, and at the latest by the end of 2011;
Amendment 125 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Reiterates that cumulative emissions are decisive for the climate system; notes that even with a pathway of 30% reductions in greenhouse gases of 30% in 2020, 55% in 2030, 75% in 2040 and 90% in 2050 compared with greenhouse gas emission levels in 1990 the EU would still be responsible for approximately double its per capita share of the global 2°C compatible carbon budget, and that delaying emissions reductions increases the cumulative share significantly;
Amendment 199 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 15
Paragraph 15
15. Recognises that some of the most cost- effective reduction potential is found in Member States that are currently below the EU average for GDP per capita, and that public intervention to facilitate financing of initial investments is likely to be necessary to achieve reductions in the ETS and non- ETS sectors; stresses the need for EU financial mechanisms to be revised to trigger cost- effective GHG reductions in the EU;
Amendment 281 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 21
Paragraph 21
21. Notes that European eco-industries employ approximately 3.4 million (FTE), which is ten times the figure for direct employment in the EU steel sector in 2007; points out that, according to recent studies, raising the EU climate target to 30%, compared with greenhouse gas emissions in 1990, can foster up to 6 million additional jobs in Europe;
Amendment 315 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 26
Paragraph 26
26. ConcludStresses that stepping up to a 30% target has more benefits thanregarding greenhouse gas emissions compared with 1990 levels, has benefits; notes however that it is necessary to carry out an in-depth analysis of costs for EU citizens and a domesticvoid any increase in the percentage of European citizens exposed to the risk of poverty; notes that achievement of the reduction targets wshould bring the highest overall benefite encouraged by means of various tax and lending mechanisms;
