AI: What changed Written by AI from the official text — check the source

The text now states that allowances held in the reserve above 650 million are invalid from 1 March 2027, and that the 400 million threshold applies until 28 February 2027. It adds recitals on the Paris Agreement, the market stability reserve and long-term market predictability. The other changes are formal or wording: the Committee of the Regions reference is rephrased and a full stop is removed.
