Recital 14
Recital 14
(14) All Member States will need to make substantial investments to reduce the carbon intensity of their economies by 2020 and those Member States where income per capita is still significantly below the Community average and whose economies are in the process of catching up with the richer Member States will need to make a significant effort to improve energy efficiency. The objectives of eliminating distortions to intra-Community competition and of ensuring the highest degree of economic efficiency in the transformation of the EU economy towards a low carbon economy make it inappropriate to treat economic sectors differently under the Community scheme in individual Member States. It is therefore necessary to develop other mechanisms to support the efforts of those Member States with relatively lower income per capita and higher growth prospects. 90% of the total quantity of allowances to be auctioned should be distributed amongst Member States according to their relative share of 2005 emissions in the Community schemefrom 2005 to 2007. 10% of this quantity should be distributed to the benefit of those Member States for the purpose of solidarity and growth in the Community, to be used to reduce emissions and adapt to the effects of climate change. This distribution of this 10% should take into account levels of income per capita in the year 2005 and the growth prospects of Member States, and be higher for Member States with low income levels per head and high growth prospects. Member States with an average level of income per capita that is more than 20% higher than the average in the Community should contribute to this distribution, except where the direct costs of the overall package estimated in SEC(2008) 85 exceed 0.7% of GDP.

Article 10 - paragraph 3 a (new)
3a. The proceeds of auctioning should be channelled towards developing and developed countries for the purposes of adaptations and measures to reduce emissions. Developing and developed countries should be helped to adopt the best practices and technologies and renewable sources of energy. It would be advisable to determine how existing funding mechanisms might be brought to bear with a view to so allocating auctioning revenues as to enable them to be distributed openly and transparently and used to achieve genuine emission reductions.

Article 1 – point 8
Directive 2003/87/EC
Article 10a – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 3
Article 10a – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 3
The measures referred to in the first subparagraph shall, to the extent feasible, ensure that allocation takes place in a manner that gives incentives for greenhouse gas and energy efficient techniques and for reductions in emissions, by taking account of the most efficient techniques, substitutes, alternative production processes, use of biomass and greenhouse gas capture and storage, and shall not give incentives to increase emissions. No free allocation shall be made in respect of any electricity production with the exception of the production of electricity in combined heat and power installations for industrial production processes and electricity produced from waste gases from industrial production processes. Where a waste gas from a production process is used as a fuel, allowances shall be allocated to the operator of the installation generating the waste gas in accordance with the same allocation principles as applied for that installation.

2. From the year following the conclusion of the international agreement referred to in paragraph 1, the linear factor shall increase so that the Community quantity of allowances in 2020 is lower than that established pursuant to Article 9, by a quantity of allowances equivalent to the overall reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by the Community below 20% to whichof 30%, or beyond 30% in case the international agreement commits the Community to such a reduction, multiplied by the share of overall greenhouse gas emission reductions in 2020 which the Community scheme is contributing pursuant to Articles 9 and 9a.
