(28 a) The derogation from Article 10a (1) allowing eligible Member States to receive transitional free allocation for the modernisation of the energy sectors should cease on 31 December 2023. Member States concerned should be able to use allowances that have not been allocated by 31 December 2023 through the Modernisation Fund, referred to in Article 10d, where these allowances shall be transferred.

(29) Further incentives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by using cost- efficient techniques should be provided. To that end, the free allocation of emission allowances to stationary installations from 2026 onwards should be conditional on investm[year of entsry in techniques to increase energy efficiency and reduce emissions. Ensuring that this is focused on larger energy users would result in a substantial reductito force of the Directive] onwards should be discon tin burden for businesses with lower energy use, which may be owned by small and medium sized enterprises or micro-enterprises. [Reference to be confirmed with the revised EED]. The relevant delegated acts should be adjusted accordinglyued, switching to full auctioning of emission allowances.

(30) The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), established under Regulation (EU) […./..] of the European Parliament and of the Council51 , is an alternative to free allocation to address the risk of carbon leakage. To the extent that sectors and subsectors are covered by that measure, they should not receive free allocation. However, a transitional phasing-out of free allowances is needed to allow producers, importers and traders to adjust to the new regime. The reduction of free allocation should be implemented by applying a factor to free allocation for CBAM sectors, while the CBAM is phased in. This percentage (CBAM factor) should be equal to 100 % during the transitional period between the entry into force of [CBAM Regulation] and 2025, 90 % in 2026 and should be reduced by 10 percentage points each year to reach 0 % and thereby eliminate free allocation by the tenth year. The relevant delegated acts on free allocation should be adjusted accordingly for the sectors and subsectors covered by the CBAM. The free allocation no longer provided to the CBAM sectors based on this calculation (CBAM demand) must be auctioned and the revenues will accrue to the Innovation Fund, so as to support innovation in low carbzero emissions technologies, carbon capture and utilisation (‘CCU’), carbon capture and geological storage (‘CCS’),prioritising solutions that address the root causes of high GHG, including the resources or materials used and the volumes used. renewable energy and energy storage, in a way that contributes to mitigating climate change. Special attention should be given to projects in CBAM sectors. To respect the proportion of the free allocation available for the non-CBAM sectors, the final amount to deduct from the free allocation and to be auctioned should be calculated based on the proportion that the CBAM demand represents in respect of the free allocation needs of all sectors receiving free allocation. _________________ 51 [please insert full OJ reference]

Recital 32 a (new)
(32 a) For the period2021-2030, the share of free allocation in the total ETS cap is set to be 43%. The free allocation of allowances disincentivises the decarbonisation of the industry and impedes the green transition. It is therefore imperative to discontinue free allocation and transition to full auctioning of emission allowances.

Recital 52
Recital 52
(52) The introduction of the carbon price in road transport and buildings should be accompanied by effective social compensation, especially in view of the already existing levels of energy poverty. About 34 million Europeans reported an inability to keep their homes adequately warm in 2018, and 6,9 % of the Union population have said that they cannot afford to heat their home sufficiently in a 2019 EU-wide survey60 . To achieve an effective social and distributional compensation, Member States should be required to spend the auction revenues on the climate and energy-related purposes already specified for the existing emissions trading, but also for measures added specifically to address related concerns for the new sectors of road transport and buildings, including related policy measures under Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council61 . Auction revenues should be used to address social aspects of the emission trading for the new sectors with a specific emphasis in vulnerable households, micro-enterprises and transport users. In this spirit, a new Social Climate Fund will provide dedicated funding to Member States to support the European citizens most affected or at risk of energy or mobility poverty. The Social Climate Fund should be an integral part of the Union budget in order to preserve the unity of the budget and the coherence with Union policies, and to ensure that there is effective control by the budgetary authority, composed of the Parliament and the Council. This Fund will promote fairness and solidarity between and within Member States while mitigating the risk of energy and mobility poverty during the transition. It will build on and complement existing solidarity mechanisms. The resources of the new Fund will in principle correspond to 25 % of the expected revenues from new emission trading in the period 2026-2032, and will be implemented on the basis of the Social Climate Plans that Member States should put forward under Regulation (EU) 20…/nn of the European Parliament and the Council62 . The Social Climate Fund should be frontloaded for the period of MFF 2021-2027 and use 100% of the ETS revenues for its financing. In addition, each Member State should use their auction revenues inter alia to finance a part of the costs of their Social Climate Plans. _________________ 60 Data from 2018.
