Amending Decision (EU) 2015/1814 as regards the market stability reserve for the buildings, road transport and additional sector

Wording as published by the EP, in English.

1. Amendment 17 · Draft legislative actRejected

   Recital 6 a (new)

   Tabled by Jana Nagyová, Antonín Staněk, Mathilde Androuët +5 · PfE

   Added: (6 a) Chapter IVa of Directive 2003/87/EC introduced a separate emissions trading system (ETS2) for fuels used in buildings, road transport and additional sectors. This system risks increasing the cost of living across the Union, especially for vulnerable groups. At a time when many Union citizens are already facing persistent inflation, high energy prices and economic uncertainty, the introduction of ETS2 risks further exacerbating social inequalities. Therefore, Chapter IVa of Directive 2003/87/EC should be deleted. Consequently, Article 1a of Decision (EU) 2015/1814 should also be deleted, as it would be no longer necessary in the absence of ETS2.

2. Amendment 20 · Draft legislative actRejected

   Article 1 a (new)

   Tabled by Jana Nagyová, Antonín Staněk, Mathilde Androuët +5 · PfE

   Added: Article1a Repeal of the Emissions Trading System for Buildings, Road Transport and additional Sectors Chapter IVa of Directive (EU) 2023/959 is deleted. Article 1a of Decision (EU) 2015/1814 is deleted.

3. Amendment 23 · Draft legislative actRejected

   Recital 6 a (new)

   Tabled by Anna Zalewska · ECR

   Added: (6 a) As part of the upcoming review of Directive (EU) 2003/87/EC, the Commission should thoroughly assess the introduction of Chapter IVa establishing emissions trading system for buildings, road transport and additional sectors. Particular attention should be paid to the social and financial consequences of the extension of the EU ETS for households, especially low-income and vulnerable households, as well as for transport users. The evaluation should examine, inter alia, the possibility of deleting or significantly postponing the application of Chapter IVa; the effectiveness of the extension of the EU ETS to new sectors and assessment of the proportionality of the measure given its negative impact on households and transport users. Moreover, the evaluation shall assess the general impact of the European climate policies, in particular of the Directive 2003/87 (EU ETS Directive) and Directive 2024/1275 (Emissions performance of buildings Directive) on European households.

4. Amendment 24 · Draft legislative actRejected

   Recital 6 b (new)

   Tabled by Anna Zalewska · ECR

   Added: (6 b) European households and industries are already subject to significant regulatory and financial obligations arising from the Union’s climate legislation. Measures adopted under Directive 2003/87/EC establishing the EU Emissions Trading System result in increased energy and production costs, while requirements stemming from Directive (EU) 2024/1275 on the energy performance of buildings result in substantial renovation costs for households. In this context, additional regulatory burdens, such as the introduction of the extension of the EU ETS to buildings and road transport could further increase the cost of energy, heating and transport, in particular for low-income and vulnerable households.
