Amendment 142 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 9
(9) Member States should partially compensate, in accordance with state aid rules, certain installations in sectors or sub-sectors which have been determined to bA centralised mechanism at Union level should be set up to fully compensate installations which are exposed to a significantgenuine risk of carbon leakage because of costs related todue to significant indirect costs that are actually the result of greenhouse gas emission costs passed on in electricity prices. The Protocol and accompanying decisions adopted by the Conference of the Parties in Paris need to provide for the dynamic mobilisation of climate finance, technology transfer and capacity building for eligible Parties, particularly those with least capabilities. Public sector climate finance will continue to play an important role in mobilising resources after 2020. Therefore, auction revenues should also be used for climate financing actions in vulnerable third countries, including adaptation to the impacts of climate. The amount of climate finance to be mobilised will also depend on the ambition and quality of the proposed Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs), subsequent investment plans and national adaptation planning processes. Member States should also use auction revenues to promote skill formation and reallocation of labour affected by the transition of jobs in a decarbonising economy.

Directive 2003/87/EC
Article 10a – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 3
(aa) In paragraph 1, subparagraph 3 is replaced by the following: 'The measures referred to in the first subparagraph shall, to the extent feasible, determine CommunityUnion-wide ex-ante benchmarks so as to ensure that allocation takes place in a manner that provides incentives for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and energy efficient techniques, by taking account of the most efficient techniques, substitutes, alternative production processes, high efficiency cogeneration, efficient energy recovery of waste gases, use of biomass, and capture and storage of CO2, where such facilities are available, and shall not provide incentives to increase emissions. No free allocation shall be made in respect of any electricity production, except for cases falling within Article 10c and electricity produced from waste gases.', electricity produced from waste gases and electricity produced either in connection with industrial heat through high efficiency cogeneration as defined in Directive 2004/8/EC1a, provided that it is produced for the own consumption of the operators of the installations exposed to the risk of carbon leakage.' __________________ 1aDirective 2004/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 February 2004 on the promotion of cogeneration based on a useful heat demand in the internal energy market and amending Directive 92/42/EEC (OJ L 52, 21.2.2004, p. 50).

Article 1 – point 5 – point b
Directive 2003/87/EC
Article 10a – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 3 – introductory part
The benchmark values for free allocation shall be adjusted in order to avoid windfall profits and reflect technological progress in the period between 2007-8 and each later period for which free the average performance of the 10 % most efficient installocations are determined in accordance with Article 11(1). This adjustment shall reduce the benchmark values set by the act adopted pursuant to Article 10a by 1% of the value that was set based on 2007-8 data in respect of each year between 2008 and the middle of the relevant period of free allocation, unless:in a sector or subsector operating in the Union in the years 2013 to 2017. Benchmarks shall be set after consulting the relevant stakeholders to take into account the real economic and technical development of industrial plants and processes in the individual sectors and subsectors.

Article 1 – point 5 – point b
Directive 2003/87/EC
Article 10a – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 3 – point i
(i) On the basis of information submitted pursuant to Article 11, the Commission shall identify whether the values for each benchmark calculated using the principles in Article 10a differ from the annual reduction referred to above by more than 0.5% of the 2007-8 value higher or lower annually. If so, that benchmark value shall be adjusted either 0.5% or 1.5% in respect of each year between 2008 and the middle of the period for which free allocation is to be made;The benchmarks shall be reviewed once at the beginning of the fourth trading period.

Article 1 – point 5 – point c
Directive 2003/87/EC
Article 10a – paragraph 5
In order to respect the auctioning share set out in Article 10, the sum of free The maximum annual amount of allowances that is the basis for calculating allocations to installocations in every year where the sum of free allocations does not reach the maximum level that respects the Member State auctioning share, the remaining allowances up to that level shall be used to prevent or limit reduction of free which are not covered by paragraph 3 and are not new entrants shall not exceed the sum of: (a) the annual Union-wide total quantity, as determined pursuant to Article 9, multiplied by the share of emissions from installations not covered by paragraph 3 in the total average verified emissions, in the period from 2005 to 2007, from installocations to respect the Member State auctioning share in later years. Where, nonetheless, the maximum level is reached, free allocations shall be adjusted accordingly. Any such adjustment shall be doncovered by the EU ETS in the period from 2008 to 2012; and (b) the total average annual verified emissions from installations in the period from 2005 to 2007 which are only included in the EU ETS from 2013 onwards and are not covered by paragraph 3, adjusted by the lin a uniform mannerear factor, as referred to in Article 9.

Proposal for a directive
Article 1 – point 5 – point d
Directive 2003/87/EC
Article 10a – paragraph 6 – subparagraph 1
Member States should adopt financial measures in favour of sectors or sub- sectorA centralised mechanism at Union level shall be adopted to fully compensate installations which are exposed to a genuine risk of carbon leakage due to significant indirect costs that are actually incurred from greenhouse gas emission costs passed on inthrough to electricity prices, taking into account any effects on the internal market. Such financial measures to compensate part of these costs shall be in accordance with state aid rules. An appropriate percentage of the total quantity of allowances issued between 2021 and 2030 shall be auctioned to establish a harmonised compensation scheme. In the event that the amount of compensation is insufficient to cover all eligible costs, that amount shall be reduced uniformly. Compensation through the centralised mechanism shall be based on ex-ante benchmarks of the indirect emissions of CO2 per unit of production. The ex-ante benchmarks shall be calculated for a given sector or subsector as the product of the electricity consumption per unit of production corresponding to the most efficient available technologies and of the CO2 emissions of the relevant Union electricity production mix.
