This is a draft report by the ENVI committee on a Commission proposal to stop invalidating allowances in the Market Stability Reserve (MSR) set up by Decision (EU) 2015/1814. The draft resolution adopts Parliament's first-reading position by taking over the Commission proposal without changes. The rapporteur says the choice not to modify the proposal is an institutional duty, not a substantive position, and that a definitive view is premature before the wider ETS review due in mid-July 2026. The draft report is meant to open debate so all political groups and Members can table amendments, and it calls on the Commission to refer the matter to Parliament again if it substantially changes its proposal.

Committee position. The rapporteur proposes that Parliament adopt its first-reading position by taking over the Commission proposal unchanged, while stating this is an institutional mandate and not a substantive position, and that a definitive view is premature before the wider ETS review.

Key points

  1. The draft resolution adopts Parliament's position at first reading by taking over the Commission proposal.
  2. It calls on the Commission to refer the matter to Parliament again if it replaces, substantially amends or intends to substantially amend its proposal.
  3. The Commission presented the proposal on 31 March 2026 to cease the invalidation of allowances in the Market Stability Reserve.
  4. The ENVI Coordinators agreed on 12 May 2026 to appoint the Committee Chair as rapporteur.
  5. The rapporteur did not modify the Commission proposal, describing this as fulfilment of an institutional mandate, not a substantive position.
  6. The Coordinators said the MSR proposal should also be examined in the context of the comprehensive ETS review expected in mid-July 2026.
  7. The rapporteur considers a definitive position on the MSR proposal premature before the wider ETS reform.
  8. The draft report is not a starting negotiating position or an endorsement of the proposal, but the opening of a discussion for amendments.
  9. The rapporteur invites Members across political groups to engage constructively in the debate.
