Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission Amendment

(4a) The EEA report ‘Trends and projections in Europe 2019 — Tracking progress towards Europe’s climate and energy targets’ concluded that the policies and measures currently in place will be insufficient in pursuit of the current target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40 % compared to 1990 levels by 2030. Moreover, the Impact Assessment accompanying the Communication "Stepping up Europe's 2030 climate ambition - Investing in a climate neutral future for the benefit of our people", declares that raising the ambition to 50 % or 55 % would lead to far-reaching and inequitable socio- economic effects, particularly in Member States and regions that remain coal- dependent. Therefore, the principle of solidarity, as enshrined in Article 194 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) must be fully respected.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 9 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission Amendment

(9a) When proposing legislation in the area of energy or climate policy, the Commission should stay technologically neutral and should not exclude or underestimate the potential of different low-carbon energy sources, such as nuclear energy. Member States should be free to choose their energy mix according to their own energy resources and needs which differ from country to country because of geography or history. Targets for renewable energy use should take into account these differences and should not interfere with the principle of subsidiarity and with the fact that countries' energy needs differ.
