6 Amendments of Jill EVANS related to 2008/0013(COD)

Amendment 10 #
Proposal for a directive − amending act
Recital 17
(17) For other sectors covered by the Community scheme, a transitional system should be foreseen for which free allocation in 2013 would be 80% of the amount that corresponded to the percentage of the overall Community- wide emissions throughout the period 2005 to 2007 that those installations emitted as a proportion of the annual Community-wide total quantity of allowances. Thereafter, the free allocation should decrease each year by equal amounts resulting in no free allocation in 2020.deleted

Amendment 11 #
Proposal for a directive − amending act
Recital 18
(18) Transitional free allocation to installations should be provided for through harmonised Community-wide rules ("benchmarks") in order to minimise distortions of competition with 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. Any such rules should not give incentives to increase emissions and 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 heat supplied to industrial 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.deleted

Amendment 33 #
Not later than Juneanuary 2011, the Commission shall, in the light of the outcome of the international negotiations and the extent to which these lead to global greenhouse gas emission reductions, andin the event that a comprehensive international post- 2012 agreement has not been achieved, the Commission shall, taking into account domestic measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions outside the Community, after consulting with all relevant social partners, submit to the European Parliament and to the Council an analytical report assessing the situation with regard to energy- intensive sectors or sub-sectors that have been determined to be exposed to significant risks of carbon leakage. This shall be accompanied by any appropriate proposals, which may include: - adjusting the proportion of allowances received free of charge by those sectors or sub-sectors under Article 10a; - inclusion in the Community scheme of importers of products produced by the sectors or sub-sectors determined in accordance with Article 10a. - other direct measures to ensure the competitiveness of globally competing EU industries without undermining the environmental effectiveness of the Community system; Any binding sectoral agreements which lead to global emissions reductions of the magnitude required to effectively address climate change, and which are monitorable, verifiable and subject to mandatory enforcement arrangements shall also be taken into account when considering what measures are appropriate."

Amendment 35 #
2. The Regulation mayshall take into account the most accurate and up-to-date scientific evidence available, in particular from the IPCC, and mayfor the implementation of Article 10 a, shall also specify requirements for operators to report on emissions associated with the production of goods produced by energy intensive industries which may be subject to international competition, and for this information to be verified independently.
