7. EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS): continuing current limitations of scope for aviation activities and preparing to implement a global market-based measure from 2021 ***I
‘Several legislative acts have been adopted at Union level which aim at preventing the fragmentation of European airspace in order to enhance the flow of air traffic and control of airspace usage, thereby reducing emissions.’
Second part
‘Within the Union, the CORSIA scheme should be viewed as part of the ICAO's so-called "basket of measures", alongside full implementation by Member States of Single European Sky legislation, SESAR, the use of GNSS for satellite-based navigation, and Joint Technology Initiatives such as Clean Sky I and Clean Sky II.’
Third part
‘All revenues from the proceeds of future auctioning of allowances should be ring-fenced for developing the above research and development programmes, as well as common projects aimed at developing a set of basic interoperable capabilities within all Member States, in particular those improving air navigation infrastructure, the provision of air navigation services and the use of airspace as required for the implementation of the European ATM Master Plan.’
Fourth part
‘The Commission should also report to the European Parliament and to the Council on actions for the implementation of the GMBM taken by Member States to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from aviation, including information, with regard to the use of revenues, submitted by Member States in accordance with Article 17 of Regulation (EU) No 525/2013.’
ALDE:
amendment 17
First part
‘From 1 January 2021, 50 % of allowances shall be auctioned.’ ‘This percentage may be increased as part of the general review of this Directive.’
Second part
‘The remaining free allocations shall be used, where necessary, to avoid the application of Article 10a (5) between 2021 and 2030.’
amendment 36
First part
‘From 1 January 2021, 50 % of allowances shall be auctioned,’
Second part
‘provided that these are not needed to avoid the application of Article 10a (5) between 2021 and 2030, in which case they shall be used for this purpose.’

amendment 24
First part
‘The increased sustainable use of harvested wood products can substantially limit emissions by the substitution effect (considering the energy and CO2 intensity of other sectors, e.g. cement production accounts for roughly 8% of global CO2 emissions),’
Second part
‘and enhance removals of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. The accounting rules should ensure that Member States accurately reflect in accounts the changes in the harvested wood products pool when they take place, in order to recognise and incentivise the enhanced use of harvested wood products with long life cycles’
Third part
‘rather than the use of harvested wood products for energy purposes.’
Fourth part
‘In order to further promote and include the positive substitution effect the Commission should, by means of a delegated act, include more products under the harvested wood product calculations. The Commission should provide guidance on methodological issues related to the accounting for harvested wood products.’
S&D:
amendment 65
First part
‘The national forestry accounting plan shall contain all the elements listed in Annex IV, section B and include a new forest reference level based on the continuation of current forest management practice in accordance with the best available data, as documented between 2000-2012 per forest type and per age class in national forests, expressed in tonnes of CO2 equivalent per year.’
Second part
‘An increase in harvest by a Member State, based on sustainable forest management practices and on national policies adopted up to the date of submission of the forest reference level, shall respect the following conditions: (a) that managed forest land remains a sink of GHGs; and (b) that ways of maintaining or enhancing the sink and reservoirs of GHGs by 2050, with a view to fulfilling the objective set out in Article 4.1 of the Paris Agreement, namely that of achieving a balance between anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases in the second half of this century, are outlined in a long-term low-emission strategy.’
Third part
‘The Commission may grant a derogation from the base period 2000-2012 upon submission of a reasoned request by a Member State, justifying that such a derogation is absolutely necessary for reasons of data availability, such as the timing of forest inventories.’

‘Notes that according to the Annual Reports, criterion 3 was invoked 99 times for denials in 2014 and 139 times in 2015; stresses the need, within the context of criterion 3, to assess recent arms transfers by Member States to non-state actors, including the provision of technical assistance and training, in light of the 2002 Joint Action 2002/589/CFSP on the European Union’s contribution to combating the destabilising accumulation and spread of small arms and light weapons (SALW);’
Second part
‘recalls that the Joint Action states that no SALW should be transferred by Member States to non-state actors;’
‘Urges the effective implementation of gender equality, the empowerment of women, and policies in favour of the inclusion of women in all spheres of political, economic and social life, with a view to enhancing their active participation in society, strenuously combating femicides, guaranteeing their physical and psychological security, facilitating equal access to the job market, land ownership, and employment,’
