Amendment 39 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 1
1. Recognises the benefits and risks to Member States of developing a low carbon economy; therefore endorses in principle the Commission’s Roadmap to a competitive low carbon economy in 2050, together with its trajectory, the specific milestones for domestic emission reductions of 40%, 60% and 80% for 2030, 2040 and 2050 respective; notes that technological developments do not take place in a linear manner and indeed often progress by leaps, and that consequently, and the ranges for sector- specific milestones, as the basis for proposing legislative and other initiatives on economic and climate po purely linear reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 reflects an overly schematic approach that does not do justice to the realicty;

Paragraph 2
2. Invites the Commission to bring forward within the next two years the measures necessary to achieve the 2030 objectives, taking into account particular national capacities and potentials, as well as international progress on climate actionnot to resort to action for action’s sake, to assess precisely, by 2017, what existing measures both at EU and at national, regional and local level have achieved and what potential they still possess, and to consider any further measures at EU level in the light of this kind of comprehensive analysis;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
4. Recognises that the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) is the principal instrument for reducing industrial emissions and promoting investment in low carbon technologies, but acknowledges that the current carbon price is very much lower than was originally envisaged and at present, as a result of the recession, is failing to provide the necessary investment stimulus; expects, however, that the situation will improve from 2013, largely as a result of the reforms that have already been agreed;

Amendment 96 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6 – introductory part
6. Calls on the Commission to adopt measures to correct the failings of the ETS and to allow it to function as originally envisaged, in particular by taking the following steps before the end of 2012: (a) recalibrating the ETS before the commencement of the third phase by setting aside allowances so as to restore scarcity, thus allowing the original objective of providing incentives for investments in low carbon technologies and energy efficiency measures to be met, and thereafter proposing a legislative act to enable such allowances to be eliminated; (b) proposing legislation before the end of 2013 to modify from the earliest appropriate date the 1.74% annual linear reduction requirement to a value sufficient to meet the requirements of the 2050 CO2 reduction target; (c) proposing legislation to establish from the earliest possible date a reserve price for the auction of allowances;deleted
