   Aggiunto: (2a) In order to address the concerns of the Union ceramic industry, which faces significant costs arising from the adjustment of benchmark values within the EU ETS, installations producing ceramic products by firing, in particular roofing tiles, bricks, refractory bricks, tiles, stoneware or porcelain, covered by Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC, shall be exempted from the obligation to surrender allowances under Article 12(3)(a) of Directive 2003/87/EC for the period from 2026 to 2030. This modification is particularly relevant in light of the importance of ceramic manufacturing installations, which directly employ over 200 000 people, and have close ties to their local communities, as well as the fact that these installations account for only around 1 % of industrial emissions covered by the EU ETS.
