Justification

Until the mid-term review of the National Energy and Climate Plans (NECP), territorial just transition plans should not be allowed to benefit from a windfall effect by relying on NECPs that are not in line with the objectives set by the Union for the transition to climate neutrality. The phasing out from fossil fuels dependent activities and/or the anticipated degree of decarbonation should be described in a sufficiently precise manner, in order to ensure monitoring and consistency between the objectives and the results of the interventions.

It is important to specify that the Just Transition Fund needs to be compatible with the National Energy and Climate Plans and their related Long Term Strategy, considering that we are discussing a 2040 scenario.

For those Member States without a Long Term Strategy setting the target of climate neutrality by 2040, only 50% of their national allocation shall be released, while the remaining 50% shall be made available once they have adopted that target.

Justification

Setting a clear timeline is an essential prerequisite for planning and ensuring a just transition. Without a clear commitment to climate neutrality, in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement, however, there is a high risk that efforts may still be made to reinforce the status quo, or to delay the transition - counter to the interests of ensuring a just transition and economic diversification.

Justification

This provision deletes the mandatory contributions from ERDF and ESF+.

This is in line with the EC proposal where MS are allowed to transfer more than 1.5 times the amount of support from the JTF but not exceed 3 times this amount. If all MS were to fully use this provision and with a global JTF allocation of 7.5bn, 30bn could be mobilised under this Regulation.

Obligatory transfers from the poorest regions benefiting from the cohesion policy to those most affected by transformation unreasonably reduce the cohesion policy budget. Transfers should be optional and their amount reduced to allocations equal to those from the JTF.

Aid intensity rules adopted by the European Investment Bank’s Energy Transition Package should be used for the JTF, for the sake of consistency and to make the fund more effective. This should allow for the maximum aid level to correspond to the maximum financing level of 75%.

Justification

In order for the JTF support to be fair and transparent, regional, local and urban public authorities, trade unions, employers, NGOs, and other civil society bodies promoting issues such as social inclusion, gender equality, and non-discrimination shall be involved in all stages of the planning, implementation and monitoring of territorial just transition plans. Besides, the focus of the social objective of the JTF should also be assessed in terms of job decarbonisation and not exclusively in terms of job destruction.

PE652.418v01-00 50/154 AM\1205769EN.docx EN Justification

In line with Article 7(2)a, such plans should contain a description of the transition process at national level towards a climate-neutral economy, including a timeline for key transition steps which are consistent with the latest version of the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP). It has to be noted that the preparation of the NECP is a central competence. Thus, given the fact that the national government leads the development of NECP projects, and has the benefit of the oversight of regional transformation challenges, it may materialise this knowledge in governing the Just Transition Plans. Given the short timeline from the onset to implementation of this Regulation, as well as the two-year cycles of NECPs, the most efficient (also time-wise) and coherent approach may be to leave the coordination of these overlapping processes with the central government.

Large enterprises are the biggest employers in transforming sectors of the economy.

The wording about the possibility for projects put forward by enterprises bigger than SMEs to be considered under the JTF does not provide clear signals for the right investments to be made in the needed areas. Large enterprises are the biggest employers in transforming sectors of the economy. There should be no obligation to state an exhaustive list of operations and enterprises other than SMEs in the territorial just transition plans. The needs of affected regions change continuously, it is impossible to set them ex ante.

An amount of 6.5 billion EUR of the Just Transition Fund resources is shared amongst Member States as follows:

Or. en

Justification

The bulk of the resources of the JTF, 6.5 billion EUR, should be allocated according to the calculation method proposed by the Commission. The remaining 1 billion EUR, however, should be directed to those early achiever Member States that have realized by 2017 a significant reduction of their greenhouse gas emissions of at least 30%, thus outperforming by 150% the EU2020 target of 20%.

AM\1205769EN.docx 121/154 PE652.418v01-00 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. 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. It needs to be noted that, under the current amendment, Poland’s allocation would be maintained at the maximum amount of 2 billion EUR, in accordance with Annex I - paragraph 1 - point (b).

PE652.418v01-00 128/154 AM\1205769EN.docx EN Justification

The number of jobs in coal mining, energy use and in carbon intensive industries should be key eligibility criteria. The table with the national allocations circulated by the European Commission shows that the suggested methodology could end up prioritising areas that may need less external financing compared to those who need it the most. A way to compensate for this is to modify the weight for employment in mining and energy use of coal and lignite used for the calculation of the financial envelope and increase it from the current value of 25%. Such a change would account for the fact that the main aim of the JTF should be easing of the transition away from coal in the power sector. The weight of other criteria should be recalculated accordingly.
