Amendment

3a. Stresses that European citizens and companies, notably SMEs, should see the benefits and added value of the Green Deal, and warns that if the Green Deal merely leads to increased imports of green goods and services from third countries it will not succeed; underlines, therefore, that the Green Deal must go hand in hand with coherent industrial, state aid and procurement policies in order to boost Europe's competitiveness and global leadership;

Amendment

8. Proposes that all actions under the Green Deal should have a science-based approach and be based on holistic impact assessments; stresses that the ambitions of the Green Deal need to be based on a comprehensive impact assessment by an independent regulatory scrutiny board; stresses that such an assessment must take a sector-by-sector, region-by-regionapproach; considers, moreover, that for the purposes of this assessment, the Commission should also be obliged to deliver mandatory return-on-investmentassessments and should take into consideration the potential impact on energy prices for the different regions and sectors when proposing new legislation or revising the existing legal framework within the policy fields of industry, energy and research;

Paragraph 11

Joint motion for a resolution

11. Calls for an increase of the EU's domestic GHG emissions reduction target for 2030 to 55 % compared to 1990 levels; urges the Commission to bring forward a proposal to this end as soon as possible in order to allow the EU to adopt this target as its updated nationally determined contribution (NDC) well in advance of COP26; calls, furthermore, for this target to be subsequently integrated into the European Climate Law;

Amendment

1. Supports an EU target of at least a

1. % GHG emissions reduction by 2030 compared to 1990, as proposed by the
   President of the Commission; notes that this target will be based on a solid impact assessment with the option of moving to a higher target if a number of conditions are fulfilled, including within the framework of international negotiations and following an evaluation of their economic consequences, and bearing in mind the need to maintain economic competitiveness and include all people; acknowledges that the 50 % target is already very ambitious as, even assuming a strict implementation of existing law and the full cooperation of the UK in EU climate policy, we will only be able to achieve 45 %;

Paragraph 27

Joint motion for a resolution

27. Supports in general the idea of market-based measures as one of the tools to achieve climate objectives; expresses reservations, however, about the potential inclusion of building emissions in the EU ETS as it could take the responsibility away from public action and lead to higher energy bills for tenants and homeowners; considers that any such measure requires further analysis;

Amendment

27. Supports in general the idea of market-based measures in the building sector, based on a proper impact assessment; considers it of paramount importance to take proper account of the competitive impact of all measures on European enterprises and to counteract the relocation of activities to other countries in response to differing environmental standards;
