2011/0092(CNS) Taxation of energy products and electricity: restructuring the Community framework

ECON
27 amendments...
Amendment 28 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 3 (3) Taxation related to CO2 emissions can be a cost-effective means for Member States to achieve the reductions of greenhouse gasses
Amendment 29 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 3 a (new) (3a) It should be borne in mind, however, that the Member States’ economies vary where the energy mix is concerned, and that the process of cutting greenhouse gas emissions ought to be supported in line with the principle of fiscal neutrality, ensuring that it does not adversely affect the competitiveness of the economies concerned. This Directive takes account of the fact that many Member States are currently developing long-term, optimum energy mix strategies enabling them, for example, to move towards low-emissions economies, which, in turn, will allow them to meet the climate challenges set by EU law. Given the legitimate social and economic interests involved, the Member States ought to be given a free hand when it comes to applying taxation relating to CO2 emissions. Giving the Member States such discretion means that they have freedom of choice/optionality with regard to the use of an emissions component in setting the tax rate for energy products and electricity.

Amendment 42 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 7 (7) CO2-related taxation should be adapted to the operation of Directive 2003/87/EC so as to complement it effectively. That optional taxation should apply to all uses, including those for purposes other than heating, of energy products causing CO2 emissions in installations within the meaning of that Directive, provided that the installation concerned is not subject to the emission trading scheme under that Directive. However, since the cumulative application of both instruments would not allow emission reductions beyond those attained, overall, through the emission trading scheme alone, but would merely increase the total cost of these reductions, CO2 related taxation should not apply to consumption in installations subject to the Union scheme.
Amendment 43 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 8 Amendment 48 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 9 Amendment 52 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 11 Amendment 70 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 14 (14) There is a need to limit the potential cost impact of optional CO2-related taxation on the sectors or sub-sectors deemed to be exposed to a significant risk of carbon leakage in the meaning of Article 10a(13) of Directive 2003/87/EC. Accordingly, it is appropriate to provide for corresponding transitional measures which, however, should also preserve the environmental effectiveness of CO2- related taxation.
Amendment 72 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 15 (15) Article 5 of Directive 2003/96/EC permits the application of differentiated rates of taxation in certain cases.
Amendment 80 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 18 Amendment 90 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 20 (20) Article 15(3) of Directive 2003/96/EC allows Member States to apply to agricultural, horticultural and piscicultural works as well as to forestry not only the provisions generally applicable to business uses but also a level of taxation down to zero. An examination of that option has revealed that as far as general energy consumption taxation is concerned its maintenance would be contrary to the Union's wider policy objectives unless it is linked to a counterpart ensuring advances in the field of energy efficiency. As regards optional CO2 related taxation the treatment of the sectors concerned should be aligned to the rules applying to industrial sectors.
Amendment 94 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 22 (22) In the absence of a more far-reaching harmonisation in the area of heating fuels used for business purposes, Member States with levels of taxation above the minimum levels prescribed in that area should continue to be able to provide for certain reductions.
Amendment 102 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 28 (28) Every five years and for the first time by the end of 2015, the Commission should report to the Council on the application of this Directive, examining in particular the minimum level of optional CO2-related taxation in the light of the evolution of the market price in the EU of the emission allowances, the impact of innovation and technological developments and the justification for the tax exemptions and reductions laid down in this Directive, including for fuel used for the purpose of air and maritime navigation. The list of sectors or sub-sectors deemed to be exposed to a significant risk of carbon leakage shall be the subject of regular review, in particular taking into account the availability of emerging evidence.

Amendment 193 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 15 (15) The rate of building renovation needs to be increased, as the existing building stock represents the single biggest potential sector for energy savings. Moreover, buildings are crucial to achieving the EU objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80-95% by 2050 compared to 1990. Buildings owned by public bodies account for a considerable share of the building stock and have high visibility in public life. It is therefore appropriate to set an annual rate of renovation of all buildings owned by public bodies to upgrade their energy performance. This renovation rate should be without prejudice to the obligations with regard to nearly- zero energy buildings set in Directive 2010/31/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 May 2010 on the energy performance of buildings. The

Proposal for a directive Recital 35 (35) Directive 2006/32/EC requires Member States to adopt and aim to achieve an overall national indicative energy savings target of 9% by 2016, to be reached by deploying energy services and other energy efficiency improvement measures. That Directive states that the second Energy Efficiency Plan adopted by the Member States shall be followed, as appropriate and where necessary, by Commission proposals for additional measures, including extending the period of application of targets. If a report concludes that insufficient progress has been made towards achieving the indicative national targets laid down by that Directive, these proposals are to address the level and nature of the targets. The impact assessment accompanying this Directive finds that the Member States are on track to achieve the 9% target, which is substantially less ambitious than the subsequently adopted 20% energy

2012/10/30

16 amendments...
Amendment 89 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 (4) Competence for supervision of individual banks in the Union remains mostly at national level.
Amendment 213 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 18 Amendment 264 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 25 Amendment 291 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 29 (29) As regards the supervision of cross- border banks active both inside and outside the Euro area the ECB should cooperate closely with the competent authorities of non participating Member States. As a competent authority the ECB should be subject to the related obligations to cooperate and exchange information under Union law and should participate fully in the colleges of supervisors. In addition, since the exercise of supervisory tasks by a European institution brings about clear benefits in terms of financial stability and sustainable market integration, Member States not participating in the common currency should therefore also have the possibility to participate in the new mechanism. However, it is a necessary pre- condition for an effective exercise of supervisory tasks, that supervisory decisions are implemented fully and without delay. Member States wishing to participate in the new mechanism should therefore undertake to ensure that their national competent authorities will abide by and adopt any measure in relation to credit institutions requested by the ECB. The ECB should be able to establish a close cooperation with the competent authorities of a Member State not participating in the common currency. It should be obliged to establish the cooperation where the conditions set out in this regulation are met. The conditions under which representatives of the competent authorities of the Member States which established a close co-operation take part to the activities of the Supervisory Board should
Amendment 318 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 34 (34) The conferral of supervisory tasks implies a significant responsibility for the ECB to safeguard financial stability in the Union, and to use its supervisory powers in the most effective and proportionate way.

Before adopting a regulation, the ECB shall conduct open public consultations, including the EBA and the Commission, and analyse the potential related costs and benefits.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 3 (3) In order to provide for the single supervisory mechanism, Council Regulation (EU) No …/… [127(6) Regulation] confers specific tasks on the ECB concerning policies relating to the prudential supervision of credit institutions in the Member States whose currency is the euro. Other Member States may enter in a close cooperation with the ECB.
Amendment 119 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 (5) In view of the supervisory tasks conferred on the ECB by Council Regulation (EU) No …/… [127(6) Regulation], EBA should be able to carry out its tasks also in relation to the ECB. In order to ensure that existing mechanisms for settlement of disagreements and actions in emergency situations remain effective, a specific procedure should be provided for. In particular, if the ECB does not comply with an action by EBA to settle a disagreement or to address an emergency situation, it should be required to explain its reasons. Additionally, to ensure the level playing field between the ECB and Member States out of the single supervisory mechanism, the same right should be granted to the national competent authorities. In that case, whenever based on requirements set out in directly applicable Union law EBA can adopt an individual decision addressed to the financial institution concerned, it should do so.

2012/0288(COD) Fuels and energy from renewable sources: transition to biofuels to deliver greenhouse gas savings
2013/05/08
ITRE
28 amendments...
Amendment 44 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 4 (4) Where pasture or agricultural land previously destined for the food, feed and fibre markets is diverted to biofuel production, the non-fuel demand will still need to be satisfied either through intensification of current production or by bringing non-agricultural land into production elsewhere. The latter case represents indirect land-use change and when it involves the conversion of high carbon stock land it can lead to significant greenhouse gas emissions.
Amendment 51 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 5 Amendment 70 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 6 (6) Liquid renewable fuels are likely to be required by the transport sector in order to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. Advanced biofuels, such as those made from wastes and algae, provide high greenhouse gas savings with low risk of causing indirect land use change and do not compete directly for agricultural land for the food and feed markets. It is appropriate, therefore, to encourage greater production of such advanced biofuels as these are currently not commercially available in large quantities, in part due to competition for public subsidies with established food crop based biofuel technologies. Further incentives should be provided by increasing the weighting of advanced biofuels towards 10% target for transport set in Directive 2009/28/EC compared to conventional biofuels

2012/0337(COD) General Union Environment Action Programme to 2020: 'Living well, within the limits of our planet'
2013/03/27
ENVI
19 amendments...
Amendment 79 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 7 (7) It is essential that Union priority objectives for 2020 are established, in light of a long-term vision for 2050. The new programme should build on already adopted policy initiatives in the Europe 2020 strategy4 , including the EU climate and energy package5
Amendment 112 #
Proposal for a decision Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point f (f) to secure investment for environment and climate policy
Amendment 126 #
Proposal for a decision Annex 1 – point 5 5. However, many environmental trends in the EU remain worrying, not least due to insufficient implementation of existing EU environment legislation. Only 17 % of species and habitats assessed under the Habitats Directive are in good status, and the degradation and loss of natural capital is jeopardising efforts to attain the EU’s biodiversity
Amendment 221 #
Proposal for a decision Annex 1 – point 27 27. The Europe 2020 Strategy's ‘Resource- efficient Europe’ Flagship Initiative aims to support the shift towards an economy that is efficient in the way it uses all resources, decouples absolutely economic growth from resource and energy use and its environmental impacts, reduces GHG emissions, enhances competitiveness through efficiency and innovation and promotes greater energy security. The Roadmap to Resource Efficient Europe and the Commission’s proposals for Roadmap for moving to a competitive low-carbon economy
Amendment 238 #
Proposal for a decision Annex 1 – point 31 31. All sectors of the economy will need to contribute to reducing GHG emissions for the EU to deliver its fair share of global efforts. The EU needs to agree the next steps
Amendment 259 #
Proposal for a decision Annex 1 – point 37 37. There is also considerable potential for improving waste management in the EU to make better use of resources, open up new markets, create new jobs and reduce dependence on imports of raw materials, while having lower impacts on the environment . Each year in the EU, 2.7 billion tonnes of waste are produced, of which 98 million tonnes is hazardous. On average, only 40 % of solid waste is prepared for re-
Amendment 268 #
Proposal for a decision Annex 1 – point 38 38. Turning waste into a resource, as called for in the Resource Efficiency Roadmap, requires the full implementation of EU waste legislation across the EU, based on strict application of the waste hierarchy taking into account life-cycle thinking on the overall impacts of the generation and management of waste and covering different types of waste . Additional efforts are needed to: reduce per capita waste generation in absolute terms, limit energy recovery to non-recyclable materials, phase out landfilling, ensure high quality recycling, and develop markets for secondary raw materials. Hazardous waste will need to be managed so as to minimise significant adverse effects on human health and the environment, as agreed at the Rio+20 Summit. To achieve this, market- based instruments that privilege prevention, recycling and re-use should be applied much more systematically across the EU. Barriers facing recycling activities in the EU internal market should be removed and existing prevention, re-use, recycling, recovery and landfill diversion targets reviewed so as to move towards a ‘circular’ economy, with a cascading use of resources and residual waste close to zero.
Amendment 296 #
Proposal for a decision Annex 1 – point 41 – subparagraph 2 – point a (a) Fully implementing the Climate and Energy Package and
Amendment 315 #
Proposal for a decision Annex 1 – point 41 – subparagraph 2 - point e (e) Fully implementing EU waste legislation. This will include applying the waste hierarchy and the effective use of market-based instruments and measures to ensure that landfilling is effectively phased out, energy recovery is limited to non- recyclable materials, recycled waste is used as a major, reliable source of raw material for the EU, hazardous waste is safely managed and its generation is reduced, illegal waste shipments are
Amendment 320 #
Proposal for a decision Annex 1 – point 41 – subparagraph 2 - point f (f) Improving water efficiency by setting targets at river basin level
Amendment 337 #
Proposal for a decision Annex 1 – point 49 49. Meanwhile, the growing market for bio-based products, chemicals and materials may offer advantages such as lower GHG emissions and new market opportunities, but care needs to be taken to ensure that the full life-cycle of these products is sustainable and does not exacerbate competition over land and water or increase emission levels.
Amendment 426 #
Proposal for a decision Annex 1 – point 74 74. The Union and Member States
Amendment 432 #
Proposal for a decision Annex 1 – point 77 77. Beyond such mainstreaming, inclusion of ‘integrated projects’ in the LIFE programme will enable funds to be combined and better aligned with policy priorities in a more strategic, cost-effective way in support of environment and climate-related measures, through the deployment of a range of projects, including 'integrated projects' provided that specific conditions related to the rules governing 'integrated projects' and their implementation are met.
Amendment 435 #
Proposal for a decision Annex 1 – point 80 80. In addition, it has been difficult to trace biodiversity and climate-related expenditure. To assess progress towards these objectives, a tracking and reporting system should be established based on primarily OECD methodology
Amendment 436 #
Proposal for a decision Annex 1 – point 82 – introductory part 82. In order to secure investment for environment and climate policy
Amendment 441 #
Proposal for a decision Annex 1 – point 82 – subparagraph 2 – point a (a) Progressively phasing out environmentally harmful subsidies, increasing the use of market-based instruments, including taxation, pricing and charging, and expanding markets for environmental goods and services, with due regard to any adverse economic and social impacts.
Amendment 466 #
Proposal for a decision Annex 1 – point 92 92. Environmental sustainability is key to reducing poverty and ensuring quality of life and economic growth . At Rio+20, world leaders renewed their commitment to sustainable development and recognised the inclusive green economy as an important tool for achieving sustainable development, and the crucial role of a healthy environment in ensuring food security and reducing poverty. In the light of a growing population in an increasingly urbanised world, these challenges will include the need for action on water, oceans, sustainable land and ecosystems, resource efficiency (in particular waste), sustainable energy and climate change, including through the
Amendment 486 #
Proposal for a decision Annex 1 – point 100 – subparagraph 2 - point a (a) Working towards the adoption of Sustainable Development Goals that: a) address priority areas of an inclusive green economy and wider sustainable development objectives, such as energy, water, food security, oceans and sustainable consumption and production, as well as cross-cutting issues such as equity, social inclusion, decent work, rule of law and good governance; b) are universally applicable, covering all three areas of sustainable development; c) are assessed and accompanied by targets and indicators, while taking into account different national circumstances, and d) are coherent and integrated with the post-2015 development framework,
Amendment 503 #
Proposal for a decision Annex 1 – point 102 102. The indicators used to monitor progress towards meeting priority objectives include those used by the EEA to monitor the state of the environment and those to monitor the implementation of existing environment and climate-related targets and legislation, including the climate and energy targets, biodiversity targets, and proposed resource efficiency milestones. Additional indicators to measure overall progress towards a resource-efficient European economy and society and its contribution to prosperity and well-being will be developed in coordination with stakeholders in the context of the Roadmap to a Resource- efficient Europe.

Amendment 67 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 16 (16) The prohibition of tobacco products with characterising flavours does not prohibit the use of individual additives altogether, but obliges the manufactures to reduce the additive or the combination of additives to such an extent that the additives no longer result in a characterising flavour. The use of additives necessary for manufacturing of tobacco products sh
Amendment 81 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 23 (23) In order to ensure the integrity and the visibility of health warnings and maximise their efficacy, provisions should be made regarding the dimension of the warnings as well as regarding certain aspects of the appearance of the tobacco package, including the opening mechanism. The package and the products may mislead consumers, in particular young people, suggesting that products are less harmful. For instance, this is the case with certain texts or features, such as ‘low-tar’, ‘light’, ‘ultra-light’, ‘mild’, 'natural', 'organic', ‘without additives’, ‘without flavours’, 'slim', names, pictures, and figurative or other signs. Likewise, the size and appearance of individual cigarettes can mislead consumers by creating the impression that they are less harmful. A recent study has also shown that smokers of slim cigarettes were more likely to believe that their own brand might be less harmful. This should be addressed through the appropriate packaging and labelling of such products and through informing consumers of the harm that they cause, so that the consumer is fully aware of the consequences of using a particular product.
Amendment 97 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 31 (31) All tobacco products have the potential to cause mortality, morbidity and disability and their consumption should be contained. It is therefore important to monitor developments as regards novel tobacco products. A notification obligation for novel tobacco products should be put on manufacturers and importers, without prejudice to the power of the Member States to ban or to authorise them. The Commission should monitor the developments and submit a report 5 years after the date of transposition of this Directive, in order to assess whether amendments to this Directive are necessary. Children and young people must be educated, as this is the simplest and most effective way of preventing young people from starting to smoke. Consideration should also be given to creating a fund financed by the manufacturers of tobacco products, which would be used to fund anti-smoking campaigns. Member States should harmonise the legal age for purchasing tobacco products at 18.
Amendment 180 #
Proposal for a directive Article 6 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 1 Member States shall prohibit the placing on the market of tobacco products with a characterising flavour, provided that there is unequivocal scientific proof that the particular additive increases the product’s toxicity or addictiveness.
