Recital 3
(3) The European Council confirmed that a well-functioning, reformed EU ETS with an instrument to stabilise the market will be the main European instrument to achieve this target, with an annual linear reduction factor of 2.2% from 2021 onwardsto 2030, free allocation not expiring but existing measures continuing after 2020 to prevent the risk of carbon leakage due to climate policy, as long as no comparable efforts are undertaken in other major economies, without reducing the share of allowances to be auctioned. The auction share should be expressed as a percentage figure in the legislation, to enhance planning certainty as regards investment decisions, to increase transparency and to render the overall system simpler and more easily understandable.

(4) It is a key Union priority to establish a resilient Energy Union to provide secure, sustainable, competitive and affordable energy to its citizens. Achieving this requires continuation ofwhile continuing ambitious climate action with the EU ETS as the cornerstone of Europe’s climate policy, and progress on the other aspects of Energy Union17. Implementing the ambition decided in the 2030 framework contributes to delivering a meaningful carbon price, requires that measures be put in place to reduce the negative impact of climate policy on the security of energy supplies, on energy poverty and continuing to stimulate cost-efficient greenhouse gas emission reductions the competitiveness of European industry. __________________ 17 COM(2015)80, establishing a Framework Strategy for a Resilient Energy Union with a Forward-Looking Climate Change Policy

Recital 5
Recital 5
(5) Article 191(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union requires that Union policy is based on the principle that the polluter should pay and, on this basis, Directive 2003/87/EC provides for a transition to full auctioning over time. Avoiding carbon and investment leakage is a justification to postpone full transition, and targeted free allocation of allowances to industry is justified in order to address genuine risks of increases in greenhouse gas emissions in third countries where industry is not subject to comparable carbon constraints as long as comparable climate policy measures are not undertaken by other major economies.

Recital 7
Recital 7
(7) To preserve the environmental benefit of emission reductions in the Union while actions by other countries or actions under other EU policies do not provide comparable incentives to industry to reduce emissions, free allocation should continue to installations in sectors and sub- sectors at genuine risk of carbon leakage. Experience gathered during the operation of the EU ETS confirmed that sectors and sub-sectors are at risk of carbon leakage to varying degrees, and that free allocation has prevented carbon leakage. While some sectors and sub-sectors can be deemed at a higher risk of carbon leakage, others are able to pass on a considerable share of the costs of allowances to cover their emissions in product prices without losing market share and only bear the remaining part of the costs so that they are at a low risk of carbon leakage. The Commission should determine and differentiate the relevant sectors based on their trade intensity and their emissions intensity to better identify sectors at a genuine risk of carbon leakage. Where, based on these criteria, a threshold determined by taking into account the respective possibility for sectors and sub-sectors concerned to pass on costs in product prices is exceeded, the sector or sub-sector should be deemed at risk of carbon leakage. Others should be considered at a low risk or at no risk of carbon leakage. Taking into account the possibilities for sectors and sub-sectors outside of electricity generation to pass on costs in product prices should also reduce windfall profits.

(7a) Those sectors characterised by so- called unavoidable process emissions deserve particular attention. Those emissions arise as a result of a production process for which no alternatives exist and which are independent of energy inputs. Those sectors should be protected from adjusting the number of free emission allowances with regard to unavoidable sectoral emissions.

Recital 9
(9) Member States should be able to partially compensate, in accordance with state aid rules and to the extent defined in the Directive, certain installations in sectors or sub- sectors which have been determined to be exposed to a significant risk of carbon leakage because of costs related to greenhouse gas emissions 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.

Recital 10 a (new)
Recital 10 a (new)
(10a) Pursuant to the provisions of the Paris Agreement, both reducing emissions and boosting capacities for the removal of emissions are of equal importance in reducing CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere. The EU ETS, as the EU's most important climate policy instrument, should therefore contain mechanisms that encourage boosting the natural potential for removing emissions provided primarily by forests. Removal units and the possibility of including them in EU ETS should encourage operators and Member States to invest in the development of forest areas.

Recital 11
Recital 11
(11) A Modernisation Fund should be established from 2% of the total EU ETS allowances, and auctionedshould be sold at auction by the European Investment Bank (EIB) in accordance with the rules and modalities for auctions taking place on the Common Auction Platform set out in Regulation 1031/2010. Member States who in 2013 had a GDP per capita at market exchange rates of below 60% below the Union average should be eligible for funding from the Modernisation Fund and derogate up to 2030 from the principle of full auctioning for electricity generation by using the option of free allocation in order to transparently promote real investments modernising their energy sector while avoiding distortions of the internal energy market. The rules for governing the Modernisation Fund should provide a coherent, comprehensive and transparent framework to ensure the most efficient implementation possible, taking into account the need for easy access by all participants. The function of the governance structure should be commensurate with the purpose of ensuring the appropriate use of the funds. That governance structureMember States, as the beneficiaries of the fund, should be compossupported ofby an investment board and a management committeeadvisory board, and due account should be taken of the expertise of the EIB in the decision- making process unless support is provided to small projects through loans from a national promotional banks or through grants via a national programme sharing the objectives of the Modernisation Fund. Investments financed from the fund should be proposed by the Member States. To ensure that the investment needs in low income Member States are adequately addressed, the distribution of funds will take into account in equal shares verified emissions and GDP criteria. The financial assistance from the Modernisation Fund could be provided through different forms.
