REGULATION (EU) 2023/435 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 27 February 2023
amending Regulation (EU) 2021/241 as regards REPowerEU chapters in recovery and resilience plans and amending Regulations (EU) No 1303/2013, (EU) 2021/1060 and (EU) 2021/1755, and Directive 2003/87/EC
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 175, third paragraph, Article 177, first paragraph, Article 192(1), Article 194(2) and Article 322(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
After consulting the Committee of the Regions,
Having regard to the opinion of the Court of Auditors (2),
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (3),
Whereas:
(1) |
Since the adoption of Regulation (EU) 2021/241 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), which established the Recovery and Resilience Facility (the ‘Facility’), unprecedented geopolitical events triggered by Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine and their direct and indirect aggravation of the consequences of the COVID-19 crisis have considerably affected the Union’s society and economy, its people and its economic, social and territorial cohesion. In particular, it is clearer than ever that the Union’s energy security and energy independence are indispensable for a successful, sustainable and inclusive recovery from the COVID-19 crisis, as they are also major factors contributing to the resilience of the Union’s economy. |
(2) |
Due to the direct links between a sustainable recovery, building the Union’s resilience and energy security, reducing dependence on fossil fuels, in particular from Russia, and the Union's role in a just and inclusive transition, the Facility is an instrument well suited to contribute to the Union’s response to those emerging challenges. This is also the case in light of Union climate and environmental legislation and of the Union’s international commitments, and in particular the Paris Agreement adopted under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (5). |
(3) |
In the Versailles Declaration of 10 and 11 March 2022, the Heads of State and Government invited the Commission to propose by the end of May of the same year a REPowerEU plan to phase out the Union’s dependency on Russian fossil fuel imports, which invitation was reiterated in the European Council Conclusions of 24 and 25 March 2022. That goal should be achieved well before 2030 in a way that is consistent with the European Green Deal, set out in the communication of the Commission of 11 December 2019, and with the climate objectives for 2030 and 2050 enshrined in Regulation (EU) 2021/1119 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6). |
(4) |
The Facility’s ability to support reforms and investments dedicated to diversifying energy supplies, in particular fossil fuels, as well as to increase the resilience, security and sustainability of the Union’s energy system, thereby contributing to energy affordability and strengthening the strategic autonomy of the Union alongside an open economy, should be enhanced. To achieve those objectives, the Union needs to increase energy efficiency and the reliability and resilience of transmission and distribution networks, to promote system flexibility, to minimise congestions, including by means of increased grid and electricity storage capacity, to promote digitalisation, and to ensure resilient supply chains, cybersecurity and the protection and climate adaptation of all infrastructure, while reducing strategic energy... |
