Recital 11
(11) Therefore, a part of the revenues generated by the inclusion of building and road transport into the scope of Directive 2003/87/EC should be used to address the social impacts arising from that inclusion, for the transition to be just and inclusive, leaving no one behindas a matter of priority to pay back the debts incurred in connection with COVID-19 recovery loans. The Fund should consequently be financed largely through reallocations within the current multiannual financial framework 2021- 2027.

Recital 15
(15) Member States, in consultation with regional level authorities, are best placed to design and to implement Plans that are adapted and targeted to their local, regional and national circumstances as their existing policies in the relevant areas and planned use of other relevant EU funds. Competences at regional level, in particular with a view to the allocation of funds, should remain unaltered in this connection. In that manner, the broad diversity of situations, the specific knowledge of local and regional governments, research and innovation and industrial relations and social dialogue structures, as well as national traditions, can best be respected and contribute to the effectiveness and efficiency of the overall support to the vulnerable.

Recital 29
(29) For the purpose of sound financial management, while respecting the performance-based nature of the Fund, specific rules should be laid down for budget commitments, payments, suspension, and recovery of funds as well as for the termination of agreements related to financial support. The Member States should take appropriate measures to ensure that the use of funds in relation to measures supported by the Fund complies with applicable Union and national law. Member States must ensure that such support is granted in compliance with the EU State aid rules, where applicable. In particular, they should ensure that fraud, corruption and conflicts of interests are prevented, detected and corrected, and that double funding from the Fund and other Union programmes is avoided. Suspension and the termination of agreements related to financial support as well as reduction and recovery of the financial allocation should be possible when the Plan has not been implemented in a satisfactory manner by the Member State concerned, or in the case of serious irregularities, meaning fraud, corruption and conflicts of interest in relation to the measures supported by the Fund, or a serious breach of an obligation under the agreements related to financial support. Appropriate contradictory procedures should be established to ensure that the decision by the Commission in relation to suspension and recovery of amounts paid as well as the termination of agreements related to financial support respects the right of Member States to submit observations.

Recital 30 a (new)
(30a) The Fund should initially be restricted to the period of the current multiannual financial framework up to 2027. Before the start of the next multiannual financial framework, the Commission should perform a comprehensive evaluation of the efficiency of the Fund and its compatibility with the principles of economical, efficient and effective financial management. Only thereafter should consideration be given to an extension covering the next multiannual financial framework.

Recital 30 b (new)
Recital 30 b (new)
(30b) Over the period until 2027, the Fund should be financed through reallocations within the current MAFF 2021-2027. The enhanced emissions trading system is still too uncertain to be used as a source of financing for the Fund owing to the doubts that remain about the specific design of the enhanced ETS. Furthermore, care must be taken to ensure that financing of the Fund does not work to the detriment of paying back the COVID-19 recovery loans.
