§ 5
First part	‘Takes note of the Commission’s proposal to set the EU’s 2030 climate target to ‘at least 55 % net emissions reduction’ compared to 1990 levels;’
Second part	‘highlights the fact, however, that Parliament adopted a higher target of 60 %;’
§ 12
First part	‘Considers that in order to prevent possible distortions in the internal market and along the value chain, a CBAM should cover all imports of products and commodities covered by the EU ETS, including when embedded in intermediate or final products; stresses that as a starting point (already by 2023) and following an impact assessment, the CBAM should cover the power sector and energy-intensive industrial sectors;’
Second part	‘like cement, steel, aluminium, oil refinery, paper, glass, chemicals and fertilisers, which continue to receive substantial free allocations, and still represent 94 % of EU industrial emissions;’
§ 13
First part	Text as a whole without the words: ‘global’ and ‘individual’
Second part	those words
§ 16
First part	‘Considers that in order to address the potential risk of carbon leakage while complying with WTO rules, the CBAM needs to charge the carbon content of imports in a way that mirrors the carbon costs paid by EU producers; stresses that carbon pricing under the CBAM should mirror the dynamic evolution of the price of EU allowances under the EU ETS while ensuring predictability and less volatility in the price of carbon; is of the opinion that importers should buy allowances from a separate pool of allowances to the EU ETS whose carbon price corresponds to that of the day of the transaction in the EU ETS; underlines that the introduction of the CBAM is only one of the measures in the implementation of the European Green Deal objectives and must also be accompanied by the necessary measures in non-ETS sectors as well as an ambitious reform of the EU ETS to ensure it delivers meaningful carbon pricing that fully respects the polluter pays principle, and to contribute to the necessary GHG emissions reduction in line with the EU’s updated 2030 climate target and 2050 net zero GHG emissions target,’
Second part	‘including by addressing the linear reduction factor, a rebasing of the cap and assessing the potential need for a carbon floor price;’
§ 28
First part	Text as a whole without the words: ‘constitute an alternative to existing measures on carbon leakage under EU law in sectors covered by the EU ETS in so far as it would’ and ‘therefore go hand in hand with the parallel, gradual, rapid and eventual complete phasing out of those measures for the sectors concerned so as to’
Second part	‘constitute an alternative to existing measures on carbon leakage under EU law in sectors covered by the EU ETS in so far as it would’
Third part	‘therefore go hand in hand with the parallel, gradual, rapid and eventual complete phasing out of those measures for the sectors concerned so as to’
§ 33
First part	‘Supports the Commission’s intention to use revenues generated by the CBAM as new own resources for the EU budget, and asks the Commission to ensure full transparency about the use of those revenues;’
Second part	‘highlights, however, that the budgetary role of the CBAM should only be a by-product of the instrument; believes that those new revenues should allow for greater support for climate action and the objectives of the Green Deal, such as the just transition and the decarbonisation of Europe’s economy, and for an increase in the EU’s contribution to international climate finance in favour of Least Developed Countries and Small Island Developing States, which are most vulnerable to climate change, in particular to support them to undergo an industrialisation process based on clean and decarbonised technologies;’
Third part	‘calls on the Commission to take into account the social effects of the mechanism in its upcoming proposal with a view to minimising them;’
Fourth part	‘stresses that the revenues generated from a CBAM should by no means be used as disguised subsidies for high-polluting European industries, as this would ultimately compromise its WTO compatibility;’
§ 34
First part	‘Recalls that Parliament, the Council and the Commission agreed to the creation of new own resources, including the CBAM, during the next multiannual financial framework under the Interinstitutional Agreement on budgetary discipline, on cooperation in budgetary matters and on sound financial management, as well as on new own resources, including a roadmap towards the introduction of new own resources (IIA); stresses that assigning the financial flows generated by the CBAM to the EU budget would help to mitigate issues of fiscal equivalence and ensure a fairly distributed impact across Member States, as well as ensuring a lean structure with minimal administrative overhead costs; concludes, therefore, that defining the proceeds as an EU own resource would reduce the share of GNI-based contributions in the financing of the EU budget, and would thus help to mutualise the impact of the CBAM in a fair way across all Member States; considers that any savings at national level due to lower GNI-contributions will increase Member States’ fiscal space;’
Second part	‘stresses that the implementation of the mechanism should be accompanied by the removal of environmentally harmful subsidies granted to energy-intensive industries, in particular tax exemptions and breaks on energy used by energy-intensive industries;’
Recital G
First part	Text as a whole without the word: ‘not’
Second part	those words
amendment 4
First part	‘an ETS-equivalent’ and ‘imported’
Second part	deletion of the words: ‘constitute an alternative to existing measures on carbon leakage under EU law in sectors covered by the EU ETS in so far as it would’
Third part	deletion of the words: ‘therefore go hand in hand with the parallel, gradual, rapid and eventual complete phasing out of those measures for the sectors concerned so as to’
