Paragraph 9 a (new)
9 a. Regrets that the call for the creation of just transition fund for coal- and carbon-intensive regions under the new multiannual financial framework (MFF) was not reflected in the new MFF proposal; appeals to create a Just Transition Fund with the aim to support workers and communities adversely affected by transitions away from fossil fuels and industries that imply use of fossil fuels such as the automotive industry, especially in regions that are strongly reliant on such industries; in this respect calls on the Commission to set up a financing platform at Union level for this initiative; furthermore stresses that under this fund sufficient resources should be ensured for creation of decent and sustainable jobs, together with re- skilling and up-skilling in clean processes and technologies, as well as enhancing social protection schemes, including active labour market policies;
