Recital 3
(3) The European Green Deal31 combines a comprehensive set of mutually reinforcing measures and initiatives aimed at achieving climate neutrality in the Union 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 women and men differently and has a particular impact on some disadvantaged groups, such as older people, persons with disabilities, persons suffering from energy or transport poverty, vulnerable micro, small and medium entrepreneurs and persons with a minority racial or ethnic background. The transition affects differently also Member States. It must therefore be ensured that the transition is just and inclusive, leaving no one behind. __________________ 31 Commission Communication - The European Green Deal, COM(2019) 640 final of 11 December 2019.

Recital 10
(10) In order to achieve the target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 55%, Member States for the sectors covered by Regulation (EU) 2018/842 will need to reduce their emissions progressively until they reach- collectively the EU-wide reduction target -40% in 2030, compared to 2005 levels.

Recital 12 a (new)
(12 a) With a view to ensuring cost- effective and fair reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from the maritime transport, road transport and buildings sectors, Member States should have the flexibility to balance their reductions achieved in those sectors under the Regulation (EU)2018/842 and under the Directive 2003/87/EC, once it applies to those sectors. Where Member States for a given year have reduced their emissions in those sectors more than proportionate under the Regulation (EU) 2018/842, it is fair that they may provide a recompense to those sectors. It should thus be possible for Member States in such cases to grant a limited amount of free allocation of Directive 2003/87/EC allowances in exchange in those sectors while ensuring that respective cost advantages are passed on to citizens and businesses. The Commission therefore should set out sectoral annual emission benchmarks for the maritime transport, road transport and buildings sectors against which Member States’ reviewed greenhouse gas emissions from those sectors may be assessed. Such sectoral annual emission benchmark should not be understood as minimum sectoral target but rather as a threshold for allowing for flexibility with Directive 2003/87/EC.

Recital 18 a (new)
(18 a) Some Member States will face major challenges in meeting the Regulation’s targets. It is therefore important to ensure flexibility, anticipation and transferability. The introduction of minimum contributions by sector would not only place the targets at risk but also prevent them from being achieved.

Recital 19 a (new)
(19 a) As Covid-19 changed the economic environment in the EU, including high level of debts, changes in supply chains and soaring energy prices, those changes will have a long-term effect and the legacy of the crisis will weigh on the Member States; the transition towards climate-neutral Europe might provide significant challenges for Member States. All Member States shall contribute to the transition and shall seek to meet their respective targets inline with this Regulation, however not meeting those targets shall imply only a corrective procedure stated in Article 8 which shall not include financial sanctions.
