Proposal for a decision

Or. en

Justification

The proposal goes too far in trading off environmental integrity. The proposal constitutes a major risk for the EU reaching its climate targets. MSR2 already has price containment mechanisms in place. The European Commission is proposing to radically change and water down those mechanisms and without presenting an impact assessment. These proposals would have far reaching climate consequences: Quadrupling the price trigger release would potentially allow for additional supply that is more than the required annual ETS2 reduction of 60 million tCO2 . This change would allow for emissions under ETS2 to increase annually during the first two years of its operation. Note that the EC is proposing to ignore the institutional reflection, and checks and balances, stipulated in Art 30(h) of the ETS Directive related to assessing the ‘effectiveness of the measure’ when considering a second release within a year. That assessment is to be replaced with an additional automatic trigger. Cancelling the sunset clause for the 600 million allowances in the MSR2. These 600 million allowances are equivalent to 10 years of ETS2 emissions abatement. This intervention would undo the raison d’être of the ETS2 for the first ten years, ensuring that emissions can remain stable as the decreasing cap can be completely offset with allowances from the MSR2. As this immense amount of 600 million allowances is on top of the ETS2 cap and the EU’s climate targets, other policies and efforts will be needed to compensate for this watering down of the ETS2 so that the EU’s 2030 and 2040 climate targets can be reached. No additional measures to compensate for these significant extra emissions have been proposed or signalled.
