| Da. whereas the Commission should refrain from interfering in crisis situations where the vital interests of Member States and their citizens are at stake, such as in the context of tensions in the Middle East and their significant impact on energy supply and prices; deplores the actions taken by the Commission in relation to Member States’ efforts to reduce value added tax on fossil fuels, in the framework of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax1a; calls for the use of the available instruments to address the energy crisis, including fiscal measures at national level; ______________ 1a Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (OJ L 347, 11.12.2006, p. 1, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dir/2006/112/oj). |

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6 a (new)
| Motion for a resolution | Amendment |
| 6a. Stresses the fundamental importance for the Commission, the Council and the European Parliament to take into account the reasoned opinions of national parliaments stating that an EU legislative proposal violates the principle of subsidiarity, in accordance with Article 5 TEU and Protocol No 2 to the TEU and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) on the application of the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality; recalls that the principle of subsidiarity constitutes an essential safeguard for national democratic accountability and enables Member States, through their national parliaments, to monitor compliance also with the principle of conferral; expresses concern that insufficient consideration is given to such reasoned opinions, thereby weakening the effective application of the Treaties and the role assigned to national parliaments therein; |

Paragraph 17 a (new)
| Motion for a resolution | Amendment |
| 17a. Stresses the need to safeguard the national identities of the Member States and their right to maintain public order and to preserve their national security, in accordance with Article 4 TEU and the other specific derogations provided for in the TFEU; recalls that national security remains the sole responsibility of each Member State; considers that, where a Member State duly invokes such Treaty-based derogations, the Commission should fully respect the margin of discretion enjoyed by the Member States; |

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 21
| Motion for a resolution | Amendment |
| 21. Notes with concern that in certain Member States the application of the preliminary ruling procedure is under threat, including judges’ powers to request preliminary rulings; stresses that such obstacles undermine the proper implementation of EU law in those Member States; urges the Commission to make full use of the relevant instruments to ensure full compliance with the preliminary ruling procedure; | 21. Recalls that the application of the preliminary ruling procedure is only necessary if there is a genuine doubt regarding the interpretation or validity of EU law; stresses that national courts are the primary assessors of both facts and applicable law and therefore retain the discretion to decide whether or not to submit a request for a preliminary ruling; points out that questions concerning constitutional review must be allowed to be treated as a priority where required by the constitutional order of the Member States, as already recognised by constitutional courts; underlines once again that the legal order of the EU is built upon and derives from the legal traditions and constitutional structures of the Member States; recalls, in this regard, the counter-limits doctrine, a recognised legal principle according to which EU law cannot override the supreme principles or the core constitutional identity of a Member State; stresses that this principle is substantially reflected in the Treaties themselves, which require respect for national identities inherent in fundamental constitutional structures and the principle of conferral; |

Paragraph 47
| Motion for a resolution | Amendment |
| 47. Welcomes the Commission’s initiation of pre-infringement dialogues with Member States, in particular those that did not submit the updated draft national energy and climate plans for the period 2021–2030 in time, but regrets the lack of detailed timetables for compliance and follow-up action by Member States; emphasises the importance of streamlining the implementation of EU climate and environmental legislation, including the Fit for 55 package and the European Green Deal; calls for integrated monitoring, better enforcement mechanisms and closer alignment between EU climate goals and national strategies to ensure the timely and coherent delivery of the EU’s environmental commitments; | 47. Notes the Commission’s initiation of pre-infringement dialogues with Member States, in particular those that did not submit the updated draft national energy and climate plans for the period 2021–2030 in time; emphasises the importance of suspending the implementation of EU climate and environmental legislation, including the Fit for 55 package and the European Green Deal; calls for a major shift in the economic focus of these policies in order to safeguard EU companies, reduce unnecessary administrative burdens on them and pursue economic growth, especially in the light of the competitiveness crisis and the severe, growing gap in respect of global competitors; |

Paragraph 48 a (new)
| Motion for a resolution | Amendment |
| 48a. Regrets the Commission’s ideologically driven approach to energy policy, particularly in relation to the monitoring of the implementation of the Renewable Energy Directive; strongly criticises the infringement procedure initiated against France on 25 September 2024, as well as the subsequent indication, in the reasoned opinion of 30 January 2026, of a possible referral to the Court of Justice of the European Union with a view to imposing financial penalties; recalls that, pursuant to Article 194(2) TFEU, Member States retain the right to determine their own energy mix and should therefore be able to exercise this competence without undue interference; |
