(27) Specific attention should be paid toboth to the outermost regions and structurally disadvantaged regions and socially excluded areas, namely by adopting measures under Article 349 of the TFEU providing for an additional allocation for the outermost regions to offset the additional costs incurred in these regions as a result of one or several of the permanent restraints referred to in Article 349 of the TFEU, namely remoteness, insularity, small size, difficult topography and climate, economic dependence on a few products, the permanence and combination of which severely restrain their development. This allocation can cover investments, operating costs and public service obligations aimed at offsetting additional costs caused by such restraints. Operating aid may cover expenditure on freight transport services and start-up aid for transport services as well as expenditure on operations linked to storage constraints, the excessive size and maintenance of production tools, and the lack of human capital in the local market. In order to protect the integrity of the internal market, and as is the case for all operations co-financed by the ERDF and the Cohesion Fund, any ERDF support to the financing of operating and investment aid in the outermost regions should comply with State aid rules as set out in Articles 107 and 108 of the TFEU.

In the event of critical grid situations caused by regional excess demand or supply of electricity a flexible configuration of demand, storage or supply facilities, shall be exempted from grid fees and other charges when helping to avoid costly grid congestion and subsequent curtailment measures. In case of incremental electricity consumption via demand response measures, grid fee exemption is granted irrespective of the end use of the electricity. That includes flexible demand units shifting their load (electricity consumption) to a later point of time via energy storage units. Likewise, electricity from flexible renewable generation units that increase system efficiency by offering market-based flexibility options instead of curtailment measures shall be compensated by exemption from any charges and taxes related to the electricity retail prices. Non-market- based curtailment or redispatching of generation or redispatching of demand response shall only be used where no market-based alternative is available, where all available market-based resources have been used, or where the number of generation or demand facilities available in the area where suitable generation or demand facilities for the provision of the service are located is too low to ensure effective competition. The provision of market-based resources shall be open to all generation technologies, storage and demand response and sector coupling technologies, including operators located in other Member States unless technically not feasible. In order to fulfil the EU emission target the eligibility of market-based flexibility options should depend on their carbon emission intensity. Facilities should only be eligible to participate in a marked-based procurement model if its emissions are below 450 gr CO2/kWh and at least 10% of fuel requirements (in terms of calorific value) are based on renewable energy sources. In case the consumed fuel has a RES share physically below 10% the remaining fraction can be offset by virtual blending activities via Guarantees of Origin.

Industrial consumers should be exempt from charges when preventing grid congestion or providing balancing energy through flexibility and services via storage, green hydrogen, and other load shifting measures irrespective of end use of electricity. This exemption applies to all sorts of industrial customers that are able to shift their load in a system-friendly fashion either by a flexible production profile or by the help of (backup) energy storage.

(16) Reflecting technological progress and the growing share of renewable energy sources in the electricity generation sector, the default coefficient for savings in kWh electricity should be reviewed in order to reflect changes in the primary energy factor (PEF) for electricity. Calculations of the PEF for electricity are based on annual average values. The Physical energy content accounting method is used for nuclear electricity and heat generation and the Technical conversion efficiency method is used for electricity and heat generation from fossil fuels and biomass; however, the direct equivalent accounting method can be used for nuclear electricity and head generation if justified on national level. For non-combustible renewable energy, the method is the direct equivalent based on the Total primary energy approach. To calculate the primary energy share for electricity in CHP the method set out in Annex II of Directive 2012/27/EU is applied. An average market position is used rather than a marginal one. Conversion efficiencies are assumed to be 100 % for non-combustible renewables, 10 % for geothermal power stations and 33 % for nuclear power stations. Total efficiency for cogeneration is calculated based on the most recent data from Eurostat. As for system boundaries the PEF is 1 for all energy sources. Calculations are based on the most recent version of the PRIMES Reference Scenario. The PEF value is based on the projection for 2020. The analysis covers the EU Member States and Norway. The dataset for Norway is based on ENTSO-E data.

Recital 11
(11) Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 should explicitly include the right to compensation for passengers suffering long delays, in line with the judgement of the European Court of Justice in the Joined cases C-402/07 and C-432/07 (Sturgeon). At the same time, the thresholds above which delays give rise to a right to compensation should be increased to take account of the financial impact on the sector and to avoid any increase in the frequency of cancellations as a consequence. To ensure that citizens travelling within the EU face homogenous conditions for compensation, the threshold should be the same for all travel within the Union, but it should depend upon the journey distance for travel to and from third countries to take into account the operational difficulties encountered by air carriers to deal with delays on remote airports.

(16) Air carriers currently face unlimited liability for the accommodation of their passengers in the case of extraordinary circumstances of long duration. This uncertainty linked with the absence of any foreseeable limit in time may risk endangering a carrier's financial stability. An air carrier should therefore be able to limit the provision of care after a certain duration of time. Moreover, whilst providing to passengers adequate contingency planning and speedy rerouting shouldin order to lessen the risk of passengers being stranded for long periods.

For airports where a noise problem has been identified, additional noise abatement measures should be identified in accordance with the Balanced Approach methodology. In order to ensure a wide application of the Balanced Approach within the Union, its use is recommended whenever it is considered adequate by the individual Member State concerned, even beyond the scope of this Regulation.

(7) The trans-European transport network policy has to take into account the evolution of the transport policy and infrastructure ownership. In the past, Member States were the principal entity in charge of creating and maintaining transport infrastructure. However, according to the policy choices of some Member States, other entities, including private partners, have also become relevant for the realisation of a multimodal trans-European transport network, including for example infrastructure managers, concessionaires or port and airports authoritie and the related investments.

(2) The objective of reducing the negative impacts of transport should be achieved in such a way as to avoid disproportionate obstacles to the freedom of movement in the interest of sound economic growth, the proper functioning of the internal market and territorial cohesion. It should also be emphasised that the principle of internalising external costs is the equivalent of a management instrument and should therefore be used to encourage road users and the related industrial sectors to exploit and expand their respective capabilities in the area of environmentally-friendly transport, for example by means of changes in driving behaviour or further technological development. It is vital that ways and means should be found of reducing the damage caused by road transport, rather than simply using the resulting revenue to cover the relevant costs.

The report shall also assess: (a) the relevance of integrating other external costs related to environment, noise and health from all transport modes, including the legal basis and maximum values used. In order to ensure fair intermodal competition while gradually charging the external costs of all transport modes, it shall include a timetable of in the calculation of tolls, especially the cost of CO2 emissions should the definition of a common fuel tax element related to climate change have not yielded satisfactory results, the cost of accidents and the cost of biodiversity loss; (b) the relevance of extending the scope of this Directive to other categories of vehicles; (c) the possibility of adopting a revised classification of vehicles for the purposes of varying tolls taking into account the average impact on the environment, congestion and infrastructure, their CO2 and energy performance, and the practical and economic feasibility of levying and enforcing tolls; (d) the technical and economic feasibility of introducing on the main inter-urban roads minimum distance-based charges. The report shall identify the possible types of road sections to be charged, the possible ways of levying and enforcing in a cost-effective way such charges and a common simple method to set the minimum rates; (e) the technical and economic feasibility of gradually abolishing time-based charging systems and introducing distance-based systems and the need to maintain a derogation for Member States with external borders with third countries to continue to apply time-based charging systems to heavy goods vehicles queuing at border-crossing points; and (f) the need for a proposal for a scheme to ensure the consistent and simultaneous internalisation of external costs for all other measures which remain to be taken to address the modes of transport and/or theodes of transport; (g) the options and propose concrete steps on how best to tackle the effects of climate change within the framework of this Directive; (h) the options and propose concrete steps on how best to tackle the need to drastically reduce the dependency on oil; The report shall be accompanied by an assessment of the progress of the internalisation of external- cost elements not taken is for all modes of transport and by a proposal to the European Parliamento account yet. nd the Council for further revision of this Directive.
