(11) The European Parliament's resolution "Towards a European Energy Union" of 15 December 201517 called for the Governance framework for the Energy Union to be ambitious, reliable, transparent, democratic and fully inclusive of the European Parliament and to ensure that the 2030 climate and energy targets are achieved, while recognising that it is for Member States to determine their energy mix and decide how to decarbonise their economies. That resolution also underlined that energy is a public social good, and that the EU should therefore focus closely on the issue of energy poverty and promote concerted measures to ensure affordable energy for the benefit of consumers. _________________ 17 European Parliament resolution of 15 December 2015 on "Towards a European Energy Union" (2015/2113(INI)).

(17) The achievement of the Energy Union objectives should be ensured through a combination of Union initiatives and coherent national policies set out in integrated national energy and climate plans. Sectorial Union legislation in the energy and climate fields sets out planning requirements, which have been useful tools to drive change at the national level. Their introduction at different moments in time has led to overlaps and insufficient consideration of synergies and interactions between policy areas. Current separate. Existing planning, reporting and monitoring in the climate and energy fields should ~~therefore as far as possible be streamlined and integrat~~be simplified and streamlined.

(5) The European Council agreed on 24 October 2014 on the 2030 Framework for Energy and Climate for the Union based on four key targets: at least 40% cut in economy wide greenhouse gas (~~"GHG"~~''GHD'') emissions, at least 27% improvement in energy efficiency with a view to a level of 30%, at least 27% for the share of renewable energy consumed in the Union, and at least 15% for electricity interconnection. It specified that the target for ~~renewable energy is binding at Union level and that it will be fulfilled through Member States’ contributions guided by the need to deliver collectively the Union target~~States' contribution guided by the need to deliver collectively the Union target. It also recognised that the integration of rising levels of intermittent renewable energy requires a more interconnected internal energy market and appropriate back up, which should be coordinated as necessary at regional level.

Recital 6 a (new)

(6a) The Paris Agreement substantially increased the level of global ambition on climate change mitigation, with signatories to it committing to "holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre- industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels". The Union needs to prepare for much deeper and faster cuts in emissions than previously foreseen. At the same time such reductions are feasible at a lower cost than previously assessed, given the pace of development and deployment of renewable energy technologies such as wind and solar.

Amendment 264 #

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6 a (new)

(6a) The US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement may lead to the Member States stepping up their efforts as they try to offset the impact of the withdrawal, even though the EU’s emissions reduction obligations are already stringent.

Amendment 265 #

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6 a (new)

(6a) Nearly 11% of the European Union's population face a situation of energy poverty. They are not able to adequately heat their homes at an affordable cost. Rising energy costs make energy poverty a growing concern, particularly in the context of stagnant or declining disposable income.

Amendment 266 #

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6 a (new)

(6a) Despite the regrettable unilateral decision of the US administration to withdraw from the Paris Agreement the Council reconfirmed on 19 June 2017 that the EU remains committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels.

Amendment 267 #

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6 a (new)

(6a) Each Member State shall define its targets for each energy dimension, with a view to achieving a common global target which shall be progressively approximated by 2030.

Amendment 268 #

Mireille D'ORNANO, Jean-François JALKH, Sylvie GODDYN

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6 b (new)

(6b) Even though the EU pledged to deliver the far most ambitious cuts in GHG emissions by 2030 it cannot combat the climate change threat alone. The Commission and Member States should use every opportunity to persuade especially those countries profiting from international trade with the EU to assume a proportional share of global responsibility and raise the level of their ambition to the one of the EU.

Amendment 269 #

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6 b (new)

(6b) Reducing greenhouse gas emissions must involve a global effort and should therefore not place a greater burden on developed countries than on other countries which still generate significant volumes of greenhouse gas emissions;

Amendment 270 #

Mireille D'ORNANO, Jean-François JALKH, Sylvie GODDYN

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6 b (new)

(6b) Failure to comply with each target in each Member State should not be subject to sanctions of any kind. In which case an assessment of the situation should be made and the necessary support, including financial support, must be provided by the Union.

Amendment 271 #

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6 c (new)

(6c) Global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions must be evenly balanced; in that connection, the European Union is the most virtuous of the developed economic areas in terms of energy consumption and use of energy resources and, for this reason, any additional effort by the European Union would have only a minimal impact on global emissions.

Amendment 272 #

Mireille D'ORNANO, Sylvie GODDYN, Jean-François JALKH

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6 c (new)

(6c) For the climate system it is the cumulative total anthropogenic emissions over time that are relevant for the total concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. In order to be consistent with principle of shared responsibility it is necessary to establish Union fair share on global climate action and ensure balance between mitigation and adaptation effort.

Amendment 273 #

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6 d (new)

(6d) It should be pointed out in particular that, with a population which is two-thirds as large again as that of the United States and an almost equal GDP, the European Union uses a third less energy and emits 40% less CO2.

Amendment 274 #

Mireille D'ORNANO, Jean-François JALKH, Sylvie GODDYN

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6 e (new)

(6e) It should also be noted that the EU economy is 60% bigger than China’s, but that its total energy consumption is half, and its CO2 emissions 60%, that of China’s; nevertheless, China is subject to less stringent greenhouse gas emission restrictions than the EU under the terms of the Paris Agreement.

(18a) Member States binding renewable energy targets are set taking into account the obligations under the Paris Agreement on climate change, the huge potential that still exists for renewable energy and the necessary investments –and investors stability- to realise the energy transition. Higher energy efficiency facilitates more ambitious renewable energy targets. An increase of the Union energy efficiency target of 40% in 2030, corresponding to a maximum Union's energy consumption of no more than 1 132 Mtoe of primary energy and no more than 846 Mtoe of final energy, would reduce the effort to reach the Union's 2030 renewable energy target.

Article 7a Member States' contribution setting process in the area of Internal Energy Market 1. For the Internal Energy Market purpose, in particular for the national interconnection targets, the following provisions shall apply: a) Member States that have not reached the minimum interconnection target of 10% shall include in their Integrated National Energy and Climate Plans a roadmap for the achievement of the target considering the most efficient investment projects, after having consulted affected Member States. b) The investment projects included in a Member State's roadmap, if the Member State has not reached a 10% level of interconnection, shall be subject to approval by the Commission and shall automatically increase the other affected Member States' interconnection target. For the purposes of the setting and notification of 2030 targets, affected Member States shall consider these projects as "Prior Investment Projects for the Internal Market". 2. Member States shall take into account that projects included in a Member State's roadmap that has not reached a 10% level of interconnection shall be qualified as Prior Investment Projects for the Energy Internal Market. 3. The Commission shall support Prior Investment Projects through an enabling framework comprising the enhanced use of Union funds, in particular financial instruments. Access to European funding shall not be conditioned to a specific positive cost benefit analysis. The following specific provisions shall apply: a) The only purpose of cost benefit analysis of these projects shall be the distribution of the cost between affected Member States; b) Prior Investment Projects shall be automatically qualified as projects of common interest; c) Simplified procedures shall be established in national legislation for the necessary authorisations of these projects. Competent authorities can only deny the granting of the necessary authorisations or impose conditions for environmental reasons in the light of the environmental impact assessment. In these cases, affected Member States shall examine alternative projects to meet the interconnection targets and a revised roadmap shall be presented to the European Commission for approval; d) Delay or risk of delay in the implementation of these projects will entitle any affected Member State to require the Commission to designate an independent mediator for one or various projects whose decisions shall be respected by affected parties, or alternatively, to require de Commission to designate an independent technical expert to provide advice and propose changes on ongoing projects. EU funds shall be available for these purposes.
