(17a) Setting up a European Clean Mobility Fund could help to cover the necessary investment for a comprehensive alternative fuels infrastructure. It could be co-financed, with the European Union contributing 10 % and another 90 % coming from industry, notably manufacturers, suppliers, energy and fuel producers and other interested parties as well as the excess emissions premiums. Companies or consortia contributing to the fund should be granted preferential access to grants and loans provided by the CEF, EIB and EC IPE. Financial resources from the fund should be awarded according to the criteria of feasibility, European added value, the achievement of deployment goals and cohesion policy. INEA, which already oversees the CEF, could become the responsible agency.

(38) Manufacturers’ compliance with the targets under this Regulation should be assessed at Union level. Manufacturers whose average specific emissions of CO2 exceed those permitted under this Regulation should pay an excess emissions premium with respect to each calendar year. The amounts of the excess emissions premium should be considered as revenue for the general budget of the Union. and be earmarked for targeted programmes for redeployment, re-skilling and up-skilling of workers affected by structural changes in the automotive sectors, education and job-seeking initiatives in close dialogue with social partners as well as public- private initiatives in the role-out of infrastructure for alternative fuels;
