Recital 22
Recital 22
(22) In order to ensure a smooth implementation of this Directive, the minimum levels of taxation for motor fuels used for intra-EU non-business and non- pleasure flights would be reached over a transitional period of ten years, whereas sustainable alternative fuels and electricity would be subject to a zero minimum rate for ten years. Energy products and electricity used for intra-EU business aviation and pleasure flights should be subject to the standard levels of taxation applicable to motor fuels and electricity in the Member States. (This amendment applies throughout the text. Adopting it will necessitate corresponding changes throughout.)

Recital 23
(23) Fuel used for waterborne navigation, including fishing, should also be taxed, and the Member States party to international agreements providing for the exemption of that fuel, have to, by the date of the application of this Directive, ensure they eliminate the incompatibilities. It is necessary to allow for a different level of taxation to be applied to the use of energy products and electricity for intra-EU waterborne regular service navigation, fishing and freight transport and their respective at berth activities. Considering the specificity of those uses, the minimum levels of taxation should be lower than the ones applicable to general motor fuel use. In order to provide an incentive to the use of sustainable alternative fuels and electricity, such fuels and electricity should be exempted from taxation for ten years. Energy products and electricity used for the remaining intra-EU waterborne navigation should be subject to the standard levels of taxation applicable to motor fuels and electricity in the Member States. (This amendment applies throughout the text. Adopting it will necessitate corresponding changes throughout.)

Recital 3
(3) It is necessary to ensure that clear taxation rules for energy products and electricity continue to contribute to the smooth functioning of the internal market while at the same time tackling the climate and environmental-related challenges in the context of the Communication from the Commission ‘The European Green Deal’28 . Energy taxation can contribute to the ambition of at least 55 % reduction in net greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 compared to 1990, as well as to the objective of zero pollution through the implementation of the polluter-pays principle, by ensuring that the taxation of motor fuels, heating fuels and electricity better reflects the impact they have on the environment and on healthnew Union energy targets for 2030. However, it remains essential that the Union climate policy and energy taxation are regarded as two different aspects. Thus, seeing the Union energy taxation as a tool to incentivise climate-neural policy developments. The contribution of energy taxation to those objectives has been endorsed by the Council Conclusions on the EU energy taxation framework29 . _________________ 28 COM(2019) 640 final of 11 December 2019. 29 14861/19 of 5 December 2019.

Recital 4
Recital 4
(4) Environmental taxation can be a cost-effective mean for Member States to achieve the targeted reductions of greenhouse gasses. The proper functioning of the internal market requires common rules on that taxation. To that end, this Directive should foster energy efficiency in a technology neutral manner, while CO2price signals should be given by the EU Emissions Trading System.

Recital 13
Recital 13
(13) As a general principle, Member States should apply to energy products and electricity levels of taxation not less than the minimum levels of taxation as set out by the Directive in order to generate a level playing field between Member States as well as competitiveness. Member States should be permitted to comply with the Union minimum taxation levels by taking into account the total charge levied in respect of all indirect taxes which they have chosen to apply (excluding VAT).
Amendment 127 #

Proposal for a directive
Recital 17 a (new)
Recital 17 a (new)
(17 a) Energy taxation should only apply to final consumption, and neither energy use within the energy value chain nor any form of conversion or storage should be taxed. That principle should apply to all forms of energy-conversion processes and to energy products and electricity used for the transport and storage of energy products and electricity. In that context, conversion should be understood as the process of converting one form of energy into another, such as using natural gas to generate electricity or producing hydrogen from electricity or natural gas.

Recital 19
(19) The need to pursue the objectives of the Directive requires that no distinction is made between commercial andMember States may need to differentiate between commercial and non- commercial diesel. Member States should have the option to use that possibility to reduce the gap between the taxation of non-commercial diegas oil useld as well aspropellant and petrol. It should be possible to treat business use and non-business use for heating fuels and electricity. of energy products and electricity differently for tax purposes.

Recital 26
(26) In particular, highly efficient combined heat and power generation and, in order to promote the use of alternative energy sources, renewable forms of energy may qualify for preferential treatment. It is desirable to establish a Union framework to allow Member States to exempt or reduce excise duties so as to promote biofuels, thereby contributing to the better functioning of the internal market and affording Member States and economic operators a sufficient degree of legal certainty. Distortions of competition should be limited and the incentive of a reduction in the basic costs for producers and distributors of biofuels should be maintained through, inter alia, the adjustments by Member States taking into account changes in raw material prices.

Recital 28 a (new)
(28 a) The implementation of this Directive could have socio-economic consequences as well as a diverse impact on income classes and Member States. In this regard, a Social Monitor should be established by this Directive to assess the implementation of the Directive and its impact in the different Member States, regions and income classes. The Social Monitor would assign reporting obligations to both the Commission and Member States. The Commission should provide a holistic overview regarding the evolution of energy prices as well as technological and market maturity of alternative energy carriers. Member States should describe the social measures taken to ease the potential socio-economic consequences of the implementation of this Directive. Member States might as well put a special emphasis on the state of technological and market maturity of alternative energy carriers through complementary assessment, and the Commission should take into account assessments by Member States that demonstrate that cleaner alternatives are not readily available on the market and are not expected to be available in the short term. According to the assessments of the Social Monitor, if no significant progress is made to mitigate socio- economic impacts on lower and middle income households, Member States could prolong the transition period for households recognised as lower and middle income ones by Member States.
