(7) In order to avoid double regulation, the permit of an installation covered by Directive 2003/87 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC should not include an emission limit value for the emissions of greenhouse gases except where it is necessary to ensure that no significant local pollution is caused or where an installations is temporarily excluded from that scheme.deleted

Amendment 76 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 19 a (new)
(19a) Large combustion plants also contribute greatly to emissions of carbon dioxide into air resulting in an increase in the concentrations of carbon dioxide in air, thus increasing global climate change and inducing many detrimental impacts and feedbacks to human and ecological systems. Such increasing concentrations are rapidly approaching or have already passed critical thresholds that will lead to substantially greater climate change and an increase in average surface temperatures well above the EU's target of less than 2° Celsius that will be beyond human abilities to manage or recover from within imaginable time-scales. The Community's Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), while potentially providing a useful if slow framework for economy- wide reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, does not provide a sufficiently strong price signal to prevent new very large point sources of carbon dioxide from entering or remaining in the system and thus inflating EU emission allowance (EUA) prices. Therefore it is necessary to include provisions requiring carbon dioxide emission limit values to air in Community industrial pollution law for new installations with an electrical capacity of more than 300MW, and for these limit values to be applied to existing installations in due course.

Amendment 133 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 10
1. Where emissions of a greenhouse gas from an installation are specified in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC in relation to an activity carried out in that installation, the permit shall not include an emission limit value for direct emissions of that gas, unless necessary to ensure that no significant local pollution is caused. 2. For activities listed in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC, Member States may choose not to impose requirements relating to energy efficiency in respect of combustion units or other units emitting carbon dioxide on the site. 3. Where necessary, the competent authorities shall amend the permit as appropriate. 4. The three preceding subparagraphs Paragraphs 1 to 3 shall not apply to installations which are temporarily excluded from the scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community in accordance with Article 27 of Directive 2003/87/EC.Article 10 deleted Emission of greenhouse gases

Amendment 328 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 33 a (new)
Article 33a Emission Limit Value for Carbon Dioxide 1. From 1 January 2010, all permits for electricity-generating large combustion installations with a capacity of more than 300 megawatts that are granted a construction permit, or in the absence of such a procedure granted the original operating permit, on or after 1 January 2010 shall include conditions requiring compliance with an emission limit value to air of 450 grammes of carbon dioxide per kilowatt hour of electrical output. 2. By 1 January 2025 all permits for electricity-generating large combustion installations with a capacity of more than 300 megawatts other than those installations covered by paragraph 1 shall include conditions requiring compliance with an emission limit value to air of 450 grams of carbon dioxide per kilowatt hour of electrical output. 3. The emission limit value referred to in paragraphs 1 & 2 shall be verified on an annual basis by the competent national authority. 4. By 30 June 2014, the Commission shall review the provisions of this Article taking into account overall progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the potential contribution of appropriate abatement techniques. The review shall consider in particular lowering the emission limit value referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, bringing forward the date referred to in paragraph 2 or introducing a phased approach, and widening the scope of application to include large combustion installations other than those in the electricity sector. On conclusion of the review, the Commission shall where appropriate bring forward proposals.
