Motion for a resolution
Recital J
Recital J
J. whereas the scientific consensus as expressed in IPCC AR4 leads to the conclusion that the level of global GHG emissions must be at least halved by 2050 to avoid serious risks; whereas this target has been endorsed by the EU Heads of State and Heads of Government at the meeting of the G8 at Heiligendamm; whereas it will be increasingly difficult to achieve this target if global GHG emissions continue to rise until 2020 and beyond; whereas nearly all Member States are making good or even excellent progress in their efforts to comply with their individual EU burden-sharing targets, thus raising the likelihood that the EU will reach its Kyoto target by 2012; whereas, nevertheless, after 2012 Member States will have to reduce GHG emissions in a more ambitious way if they are to meet the targets adopted at the above- mentioned European Council on 8-9 March 2007 and to halve their GHG emissions by 2050; whereas emissions from industrialised countries, accounting for only about half of global GHG emissions, will have to be reduced by 75%-90% by 2050 in order to reach the global target,

Motion for a resolution
Recital N
Recital N
N. whereas existing, according to IPCC AR4, current climate change mitigation policies and related sustainable development practices are insufficient to reduce global GHG emissions over the next decadesfail to reduce global emissions and are likely to result in a 25%-90% increase in GHG emissions between 2000 and 2030; whereas, according to scientific recommendations, the window of opportunity for the successful stabilisation of global GHG concentrations in order to ensure at least a probability of 50% and thus to reach the EU 2°C target will remain open until 2015, that being the peak year of global emissions,
Amendment 73 #

Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Regards the science of climate change as settled and reiterates its commitment to the EU's strategic objective of limiting the global average temperature increase to not more than 2°C above pre-industrial levels, stated by science to be equivalent to an atmospheric GHG concentration of 400- 450 ppm CO2 equivalent; believes, notwithstanding this, that all efforts to curb emissions should in fact aim at staying well below the 2°C target, as such a level of warming would already heavily impact on our society and individual lifestyles, and would also entail significant changes in ecosystems and water resources;

(4) The Community Ecolabel scheme is part of the sustainable consumption and production policy of the Community, which aims at reducing the negative impact of consumption and production on the environment, health and natural resources. The scheme is intended to promote those products which have a high level of environmental performance through the use of the Ecolabel. To this effect, it is appropriate to require that the criteria which products must comply with in order to bear the Ecolabel be based on the best environmental performance achieved by products on the Community market. Those criteria should be simple to understand and to use and should therefore be limited to the most significant environmental impacts of products during their full lifecycle.

4. The ecodesign of products is a crucial factor in the Community strategy on Integrated Product Policy. As a preventive approach, designed to optimise the environmental performance of products, while maintaining their functional qualities, it provides genuine new opportunities for manufacturers, for consumers and for society as a whole. A variety of options should be considered in order to enhance energy and resource efficiency and limit pollution, such as functional thinking (turning products into services), dematerialisation through ICT and technology development based on imitating nature (biomimicry).

(5) Energy and resources efficiency improvement — with one of the available options being more efficient end use of electricity — is regarded as contributing substantially to the achievement of greenhouse gas emission targets in the Community. and also to meeting the objectives of the Thematic Strategy on Natural Resources. Electricity demand is the fastest growing energy end use category and is projected to grow within the next 20 to 30 years, in the absence of any policy action to counteract this trend. A significant reduction in energy consumption as suggested by the Commission in its European Climate Change Programme (ECCP) is possible. Climate change is one of the priorities of the Sixth Community Environment Action Programme, laid down by Decision No 1600/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council1. Energy saving is the most cost-effective way to increase security of supply and reduce import dependency. Therefore, substantial demand side measures and targets should be adopted. The need for enhanced resource efficiency has been demonstrated in numerous scientific reports and also in the Thematic Strategy for Natural Resources.

(10) There is public interest in the relationship between diet and health and in the choice of an appropriate diet to suit individual needs. The Commission White Paper on a Strategy for Europe on Nutrition, Overweight and Obesity related health issues noted that nutrition labelling is an important tool to inform consumers about the composition of the foods and help them make an informed choice. Education and information campaigns are an important mechanism for improving consumer understanding of food information. The EU consumer policy strategy 2007 – 2013 underlined that allowing consumers to make informed choice is essential both to effective competition and consumer welfare. Knowledge of the basic principles of nutrition and appropriate nutrition information on foods would contribute significantly towards enabling the consumer to make such an informed choice.

(18) Transitional free allocation to installations should be provided for through harmonised Community-wide rules ("benchmarks") in order to minimise distortions of competition within the Community. These rules should take account of the most greenhouse gas and energy efficient techniques, substitutes, alternative production processes, use of biomass, renewables and greenhouse gas capture and storage. These harmonised rules may also take into account emissions related to the use of combustible waste gases when the production of these waste gases cannot be avoided in the industrial production process; in this respect the rules may provide for allowances to be allocated for free to operators of installations combusting the waste gases concerned or to operators of the installations where these gases originate. Any such rules should not give incentives to increase emissions and should ensure that an increasing proportion of these allowances is auctioned. Allocations must be fixed prior to the trading period so as to enable the market to function properly. They shall also avoid undue distortions of competition on the markets for electricity and heating and cooling supplied to industrial installations. They should further avoid undue distortions of competition between industrial activities carried out in installations operated by a single operator and production in outsourced installations. These rules should apply to new entrants carrying out the same activities as existing installations receiving transitional free allocations. To avoid any distortion of competition within the internal market, no free allocation should be made in respect of the production of electricity by new entrants. Allowances which remain in the set-aside for new entrants in 2020 should be auctioned.

(22) In order to provide predictability, operators should be given certainty about their potential after 2012 to use CERs and ERUs up to the remainder of the level which they were allowed to useThe Community scheme and other countries' emissions trading systems should facilitate demand for credits from real, verifiable, additional and permanent emission reductions from projects in countries contributing constructively to tackling climate change. Once countries have ratified the international agreement on climate change, 'gold standard type' credits from those countries should be acceptable for all emission trading systems. In order to provide predictability, operators should be given certainty about their potential after 2012 to use 'gold standard type' CERs and 'gold standard type' ERUs. Operators should be allowed to use such credits up to an average of 5% of their emissions, during the period from 2013 to 2020, provided they use less than 6,5% of ERUs and CERs compared to their 2005 emissions during the 2008 - 2012 period and they do not carry over entitlements under Article 11a(2) of Directive 2003/87/EC. This ensures that in the period 2008 to- 2012, from project types which were accepted by all Member States in the Community scheme during the period 2008 to 2012operators effectively reduce emissions below 2005 levels. This provides for the use of approximately 1.7 billion tonnes over the period of 2008 - 2020 or 300 million tonnes above the Commission's proposal, which represents approximately 50% of the effort. As carry-over by Member States of CERs and ERUs held by operators between commitments periods under international agreements (‘banking’ of CERs and ERUs) cannot take place before 2015, and only if Member States choose to allow the banking of those CERs and ERUs within the context of limited rights to bank such credits, this certainty should be given by requiring Member States to allow operators to exchange such CERs and ERUs issued in respect of emission reductions before 2012 for allowances valid from 2013 onwards. However, as Member States should not be obliged to accept CERs and ERUs which it is not certain they will be able to use towards their existing international commitments, this requirement should not extend beyond 31 December 2014. Operators should be given the same certainty concerning such CERs issued from projects that have been established before 2013 in respect of emission reductions from 2013 onwards.

Those measures, designed to amend non- essential elements of this Directive by supplementing it, shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article [23(3)]. The measures referred to in the first subparagraph shall, to the extent feasible, establish harmonised benchmarks to ensure that allocation takes place in a manner that gives incentives for greenhouse gas and energy efficient techniques and for reductions in emissions, by taking account of the most efficient techniques and technologies, substitutes, alternative production processes, use of biomass and greenhouse gas capture and storage, and shall not give incentives to increase emissions. These harmonised rules may also take into account emissions related to the use of combustible waste gases when the production of these waste gases cannot be avoided in the industrial production process; in this respect the rules may provide for allowances to be allocated for free to operators of installations combusting the waste gases concerned or to operators of the installations where these gases originate. No free allocation shall be made in respect of any net sale of electricity production to the electricity grid. The Commission shall, upon the conclusion by the Community of an international agreement on climate change leading to mandatory reductions of greenhouse gas emissions comparable to those of the Community, review those measures to provide that free allocation only takes place where this is fully justified in the light of that agreement.

That measure, designed to amend non- essential elements of this Directive by supplementing it, shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article [23(3)]. In the determination referred to in the first subparagraph the Commission shall take into account the extent to which it is possible at Community level for the sector or sub-sector concerned to pass on the cost of the required allowances in product prices without significant loss of market share to less carbon efficient installations outside the Community, taking into account the following quantitative criteria: (a) the extent to which auctioning would lead to a substantial increase in production cost; (b calculated as a proportion of Gross Added Value or, where these data are not available to an appropriate level, as a proportion of total production costs; (b) known level of imports and exports in the sector or sub-sector concerned; (c) the market share of the sectors or sub- sectors concerned; (d) profitability as a potential indicator of long-run investment and/or relocation decisions; (e) the effect of passing through CO2 costs on the product prices of the sector or sub- sector concerned. For sectors or sub-sectors that from the quantitative assessment appear at significant risk of carbon leakage, there should be a qualitative assessment to determine whether these sectors or sub- sectors are actually at significant risk, and to inform decisions to be taken under Article 10b. This should include: (a) the extent to which it is possible for individual installations in the sector concerned to reduce emission levels for instance on the basis of the most efficient techniques; (cb) market structure,an assessment of market structure (current and projected), the relevant geographic and product markets, transport costs, the exposure of the sectors to international competition; (d) the effect of climate change and energy policies implemented, or expected to be implemented outside the EU in the sectors concerned. For the purposes of evaluating whether the cost increase resulting from the Community scheme can be passed on, estimates of lost sales resulting from the increased carbon price or the impact on the profitability of the installations concerned may inter alia be used, long-term and short-term barriers to trade and factors influencing location decisions (including differentiation in quality of product or level of service by producers in the Community, product standards, the importance of proximity to product and factor markets, and the risks of relocating); (c) the effect of climate change and energy policies implemented, or expected to be implemented outside the EU.
