(6) The auctioning of allowances remains the general rule, with free allocation as the exception. Consequently, and as confirmed by the European Councilan important exception to maintain European global competitiveness. Consequently, the share of allowances to be auctioned, which was 57% over the period 2013-2020, should not bneeds to be reconsidered in favour of increasing the amount of free allowances, in order to secure that the best performing installations in sectors at risk of carbon leakage areduced guaranteed free allocation of allowances. The Commission's Impact Assessment18 provides details on the auction share and specifies that this 57% share is made up of allowances auctioned on behalf of Member States, including allowances set aside for new entrants but not allocated, allowances for modernising electricity generation in some Member States and allowances which are to be auctioned at a later point in time because of their placement in the Market Stability Reserve established by Decision (EU) 2015/… of the European Parliament and of the Council19 . __________________ 18 SEC(2015)XX SEC(2015)XX 19 Decision (EU) 2015/… of the European Parliament and of the Council of … 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 […], […], p.

(ca) The Commission shall establish a framework to ensure that the financial measures in favour of sectors and subsectors that are exposed to a genuine risk of carbon leakage due to indirect costs incurred from greenhouse gas emissions and which are passed on in electricity prices do not distort competition on the internal market and follow a fully harmonized methodology as regards to the levels of compensation;

(i) On the basis of verified production data and information submitted pursuant to Article 11, the Commission shall identify whether the values for each benchmark calculated using the principles in Article 10a differ from the annual reduction referred to above by more than 0.5% of the 2007-8 value higher or lower annually. If so, that benchmark value shall be adjusted either 0.5% or 1.5% in respect of each year between 2008 and the middle of the period for which free allocation is to be made; consideration shall be given to those sectors with a limited potential of technological development due to unavoidable process emissions; accordingly, for those sectors, the benchmark value shall be adjusted by less than 0.5 %.

1. Sectors and sub-sectors where the product exceeds 0.2 from multiplying their intensity of trade with third countries, defined as the ratio between the total value of exports to third countries plus the value of imports from third countries and the total market size for the European Economic Area (annual turnover plus total imports from third countries), by their emission intensity, measured in kgCO2 divided by their gross value added (in €), shall be deemed to be at risk of carbon leakage. Such sectors and sub-sectors shall be allocated allowances free of charge for the period up to 2030 at 100% of the quantity determined in accordance with the measures adopted pursuant to Article 10a, in order to foster European competitiveness and an industrial structure for reducing carbon emissions.
