Lack of a specific impact assessment for the Social Climate Fund

Question for written answer  E-005497/2021
to the Commission
Rule 138
Charlie Weimers (ECR)

According to the Commission, ‘the need for impact assessments, which take into account the views of all those impacted, is more important than ever’[1].

The absence of a specific impact assessment for the EUR 72 billion Social Climate Fund is justified on the grounds that ‘the problems addressed by the proposed Fund and the possible solution directions are analysed in two consecutive impact assessments, therefore no specific impact assessment was carried out’[2].

The impact assessment for the 2030 Climate Target Plan states that with regard to the social and distributional impacts of policy aspects, ‘many of the policy aspects depend on the details of policy proposals, thus only a few policy related considerations can be provided at this stage’[3].
