Recital 3 a (new)
(3a) Before presenting proposals for structural measures to revise Directive 2003/87/EC, the Commission should - in addition to the measures as suggested in the 2012 carbon market report - consider further measures in order to ensure that the scheme remains a fully market-based system. Furthermore, the Commission should propose the mandatory earmarking of auctioning revenues for innovative environmentally friendly technologies; the list of sectors and subsectors affected by a risk of carbon leakage should not be adapted in order to ensure the highest possible certainty for industry.
Amendment 59 #
(3b) The current low carbon price is due, inter alia, to a large variety of national support schemes for Renewable Energy Sources which are the consequence of the Renewable Energy Directive. In order to increase the effectiveness of the EU ETS in the long-term and to ensure regulatory stability, the Commission should present by the end of 2013 structures for a better integrated system to promote RES at EU- level after 2020. The Commission should also explore possibilities to establish a dedicated reserve (based on the NER 300) for the support of innovative sustainable energy technologies.

Where the Commission proposes to withhold a number of allowances it shall ensure that such allowances are re-introduced in a linear manner starting the year following the date of withholding the allowances. The Commission shall make no more than one such adaptation until the year 2020."
