Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Is deeply concerned that currently none of the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) submitted, including thoseat of the Union and its Member States, are in line with the objective of pursuing efforts to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levelsParis Agreement's long-term temperature goal;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Takes note of the Commission’s ambitious proposal to set the Union’s 2030 climate target to ‘at least 55 % net emissions reduction’ compared to 1990 levels; highlights, however, that this target does not represent the Union’s highest possible ambition, nor does it reflect the principle of equity and common but differentiated responsibilities;
Amendment 150 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Notes that the Union had reduced its domestic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 23.2 % below 1990 levels in 2018, while at the same time its imported GHG emissions embedded in international trade have been constantly rising, thereby undermining the Union’s efforts to reduce its global footprint; underlines that the net imports of goods and services in the EU represent more than 20 % of the Union’s domestic CO2 emissions;
Amendment 171 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Supports the introduction of a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) as a way to reduce global GHG emissions in the pursuit of the Paris Agreement objectives; states unequivocally that this mechanism should serve to better address GHG emissions embedded in international tradereduce the EU's imported GHG emissions, thereby incentivising climate action both within the Union and by our trading partners, and not as an instrument for protectionism;
Amendment 213 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Considers that a CBAM should cover all imports, but that as a starting point already by 2023 it should cover the power sector and energy-intensive industrial sectors like cement, steel, chemicals and fertilisers, which continue to receive substantial free allocations, and still represent 94 % of Union industrial emissionundergo a pilot stage and a phased introduction, and begin by covering energy-intensive industrial sectors like cement, steel, chemicals and fertilisers;
Amendment 254 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 9
Paragraph 9
9. Underlines that the GHG emissions cointentsity of imports concerned should be accounted for on the basis of transparent and reliable product-specific benchmarks representing the global average GHG emissions content of individual productshould be calculated on the basis of product-specific Union benchmarks; considers that the carbon pricing of imports should also take into account the country- specific carbon intensity of the electricity grid, if the inclusion of indirect emissions can be achieved in a WTO-compatible and non- discriminatory way;
Amendment 273 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10
Paragraph 10
10. Stresses that carbon pricing under the CBAM should mirror the dynamic evolution of the price of Union allowances under the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS); points out that the introduction of a rising carbon floor price under the EU ETS could ensure predictability under the CBAM while also ensuring a stronger price signal within the EU;
Amendment 310 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 11
Paragraph 11
11. Points out that a CBAM is not per se incompatible with WTO rules, andcan be designed in a WTO-compatible and non- discriminatory way; highlights the necessity for any CBAM to be designed with the highest environmental integrity in mindobjective of reducing global GHG emissions;
Amendment 319 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12
Paragraph 12
12. Underlines the principles of non- discrimination under most-favoured nation (MFN) and the National Treatment provisions in GATT Articles I and III; stresses that treating imports and domestic production in the same way is a, and not discriminating between imports from different third countries are key criteriona for ensuring WTO -compatibility of any measure, and that, therefore, allto ensure WTO-compatibility, the calculation basis for a CBAM must take into consideration existing measures on carbon leakage under Union law, should immediately cease to apply as soon as the CBAM enters into force, aso that this mechanism would apply carbon pricing to imports similar to what is applied to EU installations under the EU ETS;
Amendment 344 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13
Paragraph 13
13. Calls on the Commission to address this concern during the upcoming reform of the EU ETS, ensuring the EU ETS delivers, through ambitious and meaningful carbon pricing, on the necessary GHG emissions reduction in line with the updated 2030 Union climate target and the objective of reaching net zero GHG emissions within the Union by 2050 at the latest, fully respecting the polluter pays principle; sStresses that export rebates risk creating perverse climate effects, incentivising less efficient production methods for European exporting industries; urges the Commission to refrain from including export rebates in its proposal;
