(13) The application of the ‘do no significant harm’ principle is essential to ensure that the investments and reforms undertaken as part of the recovery from the pandemic are implemented in a sustainable manner. It should continue to apply to the reforms and investments supported by the Facility, with one targeted exemption to safeguard the EU’ immediate energy security concerns. Considering the objective of diversifying energy supplies away from Russian suppliers, the reforms and investments set out in those REPowerEU chapters which aim to improve energy infrastructure and facilities to meet immediate security of supply needs for oil and gas should not be required to comply with the principle of ‘do no significant harm’ and should therefore be exempted from such assessment.

(16) While extending the current intake rate of allowances to the Market Stability Reserve is needed to prevent in long term a significant increase of the surplus of allowances in the greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Union, tThe current economical and geopolitical situation requires the Union to mobilise available resources to rapidly diversify Union’s energy supply and reduce dependence on fossil fuels before 2030. In this context, Decision (EU) 2015/1814 of the European Parliament and of the Council4 and Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council5 should be amended to extend the doubling of the 24% intake rate of the Market Stability Reserve until 2030, while allowing for an exceptional release and monetisation of a portion of allowances from the Market Stability Reserve and directing revenues towards reforms and investments contributing to REPowerEU objectives, in the Recovery and Resilience Facility frameworkdirect revenues from the auctioning of allowances towards reforms and investments contributing to REPowerEU objectives, in the Recovery and Resilience Facility framework. In keeping with the objectives of Directive 2003/87/EC, such revenues should not finance investments in fossil fuel infrastructure or facilities. __________________ 4 Decision (EU) 2015/1814 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 October 2015 concerning the establishment and operation of a market stability reserve for the Union greenhouse gas emission trading scheme and amending Directive 2003/87/EC, OJ L 264/1 5 Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC

(17a) The EU Emission Trading System (ETS) was established to create an efficient, predictable and market driven system for reducing emissions and tackling the climate crises. While the amendment to Directive 2003/87/EC is justified by an exceptional situation, it remains important not to undermine trust in the ETS market through short-term interventions, and this amendment should therefore be seen as a one-off measure, which will not be repeated
