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.

(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).

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.

(22b) In Article 27, paragraph 1 is replaced by the following '1. Following consultation with the operator, Member States may exclude from the Community scheme installations which have reported to the competent authority emissions of less than 250 000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent and, where they carry out combustion activities, have a rated thermal input below 375 MW, excluding emissions from biomass, in each of the three years preceding the notification under point (a), and which are subject to measures that will achieve an equivalent contribution to emission reductions, if the Member State concerned complies with the following conditions: (a) it notifies the Commission of each such installation, specifying the equivalent measures applying to that installation that will achieve an equivalent contribution to emission reductions that are in place, before the list of installations pursuant to Article 11(1) has to be submitted and at the latest when this list is submitted to the Commission; (b) it confirms that monitoring arrangements are in place to assess whether any installation emits 250 000 tonnes or more of carbon dioxide equivalent, excluding emissions from biomass, in any one calendar year. Member States may allow simplified monitoring, reporting and verification measures for installations with average annual verified emissions between 2008 and 2010 which are below 5 000 tonnes a year, in accordance with Article 14; (c) it confirms that if any installation emits 250 000 tonnes or more of carbon dioxide equivalent, excluding emissions from biomass, in any one calendar year or the measures applying to that installation that will achieve an equivalent contribution to emission reductions are no longer in place, the installation will be reintroduced into the Community scheme; (d) it publishes the information referred to in points (a), (b) and (c) for public comment.
