Justification

In some selected JTF territories the biggest employers and energy producers are the coal – fired power plants. It essential for maintaining the number of jobs in parallel with reducing the GHG emissions, while ensuring GW energy production if renewables are not available, that the transition of coal-fired power plants to natural gas power plants to be eligible under JTF. It a necessary intermediary step towards climate neutrality as will take into account geographic constraints, system performance and offers a certain balance with ERDF that supports investment related only to gas-based heating systems.

(d) investment related to the (d) investment related to the production, processing, distribution, production, processing, distribution, storage or combustion of fossil fuels; transport, storage or combustion of fossil fuels, including natural gas;

Or. en

Justification

Investment in fossil fuels is inconsistent with a just transition, as it raises the overall costs of a transition by blocking investments, which would allow regions to ‘leap-forward’ towards full climate neutrality. It also reinforces the lock-in of fossil fuel infrastructure and is illogical when considered in the context that the objective of the transition funds is to support the transition from fossil fuels and towards climate neutrality. It is pivotal such an exclusion includes natural gas, as this cannot be considered a transition fuel once the time to recuperate investment costs is considered and when the lifetime emissions (including leaked methane) is taken into account.

Amendment 446 Henrike Hahn on behalf of the Greens/EFA Group

Proposal for a regulation Article 7 – paragraph 2 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission Amendment

2a. The territorial just transition plans shall exclude any investment in fossil fuels and nuclear energy infrastructure.

Or. en

Justification

Investment in fossil fuels is inconsistent with a just transition, as it raises the overall costs of a transition by blocking investments, which would allow regions to ‘leap-forward’ towards full climate neutrality. It also reinforces the lock-in of fossil fuel infrastructure and is illogical when considered in the context that the objective of the transition funds is to support the transition from fossil fuels and towards climate neutrality. It is pivotal such an exclusion includes natural gas, as this cannot be considered a transition fuel once the time to recuperate investment costs is considered and when the lifetime emissions (including leaked methane) is taken into account.

State) of at least EUR 0.15 over the entire period.

Or. en

Justification

The EC text does not serve to achieve the objective of the JTF nor its function. We propose to introduce allocation criteria based on unemployment population. The current minimum per capita aid intensity must be excluded from the allocation criteria. This criterion benefits highly populated territories that are not necessarily facing big challenges by the transition. More affected areas are usually located in rural areas characterized by high depopulation trends. It is proposed an allocation criterion that considers depopulation rates in territories affected by the transition.

Amendment 508 András Gyürk, Edina Tóth

Proposal for a regulation Annex I – paragraph 2 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission Amendment

The remaining 1 billion EUR of the Just Transition Fund resources should serve as a compensation mechanism for Member States that achieved at least 30% gross greenhouse gas emission reduction by 2017 based on their national inventories compared to the 1990 emission levels, thus outperforming the 2020 EU emission reduction target by at least 150%. The 1billion EUR is shared amongst these Member States based on the ratio of their2017 gross greenhouse gas emissions.

Or. en

Justification

The proposal of the Commission does not take into account previous emission reduction efforts, thus allocating a lower share of the resources to early achiever Member States. At the same time, it favours Member States that have not demonstrated such achievements. By introducing a compensation mechanism, the current amendment aims at rebalancing this rather unjust feature of the proposal. The compensation mechanism would provide additional resources for nine Member States, out of which eight are amongst the poorest ones in the EU.
