2. StressWelcomes that shoulChina and other major competitors of the EU's energy-intensive industries fail to make similar commitments on GHG reductions,are introducing carbon trading or other pricing mechanism which will eliminate the alleged risk to carbon leakage; provisions will be maintained in the long term and strengthened where necessary; considers it vital that sustainable European agribusiness is protected against carbonoints out that free allocation does not remove the incentive to shift production to installations outside EU ETS and results in windfall profits where costs are passed through where increased auctioning will lead to higher revenues that can be used for industry innovation support to avoid investment leakage;

3. EncouragesCalls on the Commission, in order to maintain a level playing field for EU industry and the energy sector, to promote links between the EU ETS and other emission trading systems, with the aim of creating a future world emissions trading market to significantly reduce global emissions and increase industrial competitiveness to establish safeguards for ensuring that linking the EU ETS and other emission trading systems does not undermine EU's commitment to at least 40% domestic greenhouse gas emission reductions by 2030; highlights that since the main objective of ETS linking is to reduce costs for companies it should enable a strengthened climate target at no additional cost;
