AI: What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source

Parliament adopted its first-reading position on a proposed decision that amends Decision (EU) 2015/1814 on the market stability reserve for the buildings, road transport and additional sectors.

The proposal responds to concerns raised by 19 member states about price uncertainty and volatility in the ETS2, and it smoothens the reserve's trigger mechanism, extends the reserve beyond 2031 and reinforces the price control mechanism.

Parliament's position includes amendments to the proposal, and the rapporteur proposes shortening the period for starting distribution of allowances from the reserve from two months to 30 days.

Parliament calls on the Commission to refer the matter to it again if the Commission replaces, substantially amends or intends to substantially amend its proposal.
