Amendment 69 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 3
(3) The European Green Deal combines a comprehensive set of mutually reinforcing measures and initiatives aimed at achieving climate neutrality in the EU by 2050, and sets out a new growth strategy that aims to transform the Union into a fair and prosperous society, with a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy, where economic growth is decoupled from resource use. It also aims to protect, conserve and enhance the Union's natural capital, and protect the health and well-being of citizens from environment-related risks and impacts. At the same time, this transition affects different regions differently, women and men differently and has a particular impact on some disadvantaged groups, such as older people, persons with disabilities and persons with a minority racial or ethnic background. It must therefore be ensured that the transition is just and inclusive, leaving no one behind.

Amendment 130 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 11
(11) The targets in the revised CO2 performance standards should be accompanied by a European strategy to address the challenges posed by the scale- up of the manufacturing of zero-emission vehicles and associated technologies, as well as the need for up- and re-skilling of workers in the sector and the economic diversification and reconversion of activities with due consideration being given to the impact on employment at the regional level. Where appropriate, financial support should be considered at the level of the EU and Member States to crowd in private investment, including via the European Social Fund Plus, the Just Transition Fund, the Innovation Fund, the Recovery and Resilience Facility and other instruments of the Multiannual Financial Framework and the Next Generation EU, in line with State aid rules. The revised environmental and energy state aid rules will enable Member States to support business to decarbonize their production processes and adopt greener technologies in the context of the New Industrial Strategy.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 11 a (new)
(11a) To achieve the necessary transition, it is essential to set up accompanying measures targeting the most affected actors in the automotive value chain across the EU, focusing on small and medium sized suppliers. To accompany the implementation of the updated CO2emissions reduction targets, a dedicated transition fund for the automotive sector should be created to help mitigate the negative effects on employment and local economies

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 12
(12) The updated New Industrial Strategy26 foresees the co-creation of green and digital transition pathways in partnership with industry, public authorities, social partners and other stakeholders. In this context, a transition pathway should be developed for the mobility ecosystem to accompany the transition of the automotive value chain. The pathway should take particular heed of SMEs in the automotive supply chain, of the consultation of social partners including by Member States, and also build on the European Skills Agenda with initiatives like the Pact for Skills to mobilise the private sector and other stakeholders to up-skill and re-skill Europe’s workforce in view of the green and digital transitions. The appropriate actions and incentives at European and national level to boost the affordability of zero emission vehicles should also be addressed in the pathway. The progress made on this comprehensive transition pathway for the mobility ecosystem should be monitored every two years as part of a progress report to be submitted by the Commission, looking inter alia at the progress in the deployment of zero- emission vehicles, their price developments, deployment of alternative fuels development and infrastructure roll- out as required under the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation, the potential of innovative technologies to reach climate neutral mobility, international competitiveness, investments in the automotive value chain, up-skilling and re- skilling of workers and reconversion of activities. The progress report will also build on the two-year progress reports that Member States submit under the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation. The Commission should consult social partners in the preparation of the progress report, including the results in the social dialogue. Innovations in the automotive supply chain are continuing. Innovative technologies such as the production of electro-fuels with air capture, if further developed, could offer prospects for affordable climate neutral mobility. The Commission should therefore keep track of progress in the state of innovation in the sector as part of its progress report. Vehicle procurement rules are an important lever to accompany the transition pathway and can complement manufacturer’s emissions reduction efforts. In particular, the role that procurement of vehicles used for corporate fleets can play should be addressed. Corporate fleets account for more than 60% of new vehicle sales in the EU annually. Setting electrification objectives for the corporate vehicle segment will help secure demand for electric vehicles and boost the second- hand electric vehicle market, which in turn will contribute to more affordable electromobility for every European citizen. In this regard, Member states should take all necessary measures to ensure that vehicles owned or leased by private companies are zero-emissions by2030. _________________ 26 Commission Communication - Updating the 2020 New Industrial Strategy: Building a stronger Single Market for Europe’s recovery, COM(2021) 350 final of 5 May 2021

Regulation (EU) 2019/631
Article 14a – paragraph 2
In the reporting, the Commission shall consider all factors that contribute to a cost-efficient progress towards climate neutrality by 2050. This includes the deployment of zero- and low-emission vehicles and delivering a Just Transition for workers and communities impacted. This includes the deployment of zero- and low-emission vehicles, granular mapping of the employment impacts, particularly at regional level, progress in achieving the targets for the roll-out of recharging and refuelling infrastructure as required under the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation, the potential contribution of innovation technologies and sustainable alternative fuels to reach climate neutral mobility, impact on consumers, progress in social dialogue and the promotion of anticipation of change agreements, as well as aspects to further facilitate an economically viable and socially fair transition towards zero emission road mobility.; In the Report, Member States shall outline the measures taken to ensure that trained and qualified workers are available in sufficient numbers for the technologies relevant for the green and just transition across sectors, taking into account existing schemes and structures, and developing new cross-sectoral training schemes as appropriate.
