Recital 19
(19) Green budgeting tools can help redirect public revenue and expenditure to green priorities. In that respect, reliable and regular reporting of comprehensive, useful, and accessible information improves budget deliberations. This means reporting data on how revenues reflect the need to ensure that the “polluter-pays” principle is reflected, and in turn on how expenditure reflects both favourably and unfavourably green priorities. Member States should publish the information on how the relevant elements of their budgets contribute to achieving climate and environmental national and international commitments and the methodology used. Member States should publish data and descriptive information separately for expenditure, tax expenditure and revenue items. Member States are invited to publish information on the distributional impact of budgetary policies and take into account employment, social and distributional aspects in the development of green budgeting29 . __________________ 29 Communication COM(2022)494 final of 28 September 2022 from the Commission ‘Better assessing the distributional impact of Member States’ policies’ and Article 6(3), point (d), of Regulation (EU) No 473/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2013 on common provisions for monitoring and assessing draft budgetary plans and ensuring the correction of excessive deficit of the Member States in the euro area (OJ L 140, 27.5.2013, p. 11).deleted

Amendment 31 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 21
(21) Natural disasters and extreme weather events have affected most Member States and climate change is expected tomay amplify the frequency and intensity of such events. Governments invest in climate adaptation measures and step in to cover disaster costs for emergency relief, recovery and reconstruction and to act as insurer of last resort in some cases. Considering the existing and future challenges for the sustainability of public finances, particular attention should be paid to government obligations and risks to government finances stemming from natural disasters and climate-related events, starting with collecting and publishing information on the economic losses and fiscal cost of past events as well as information on the budgetary arrangements and financial instruments used for that matter.
