The Enel Group strongly welcomes the proposed review of the Energy Taxation Directive. Such review has been long due. There is an increasingly urgent need to align EU energy taxation with enhanced climate and environmental objectives and take into account current and projected energy technologies’ development.

The current directive fails to mitigate the environmental impact of transport, since many of the alternative fuels currently allowed emit CO2 since some of them are pure or derivate fossil fuels. The current directive does not set the adequate framework to achieve long-term EU CO2 emissions reduction objective, as it does not adequately support the deployment of zero emission mobility.

The ‘Fit for 55’ package paves the way for the implementation of the EU Green Deal, this set of legislative revisions represents a unique opportunity for Europe to take a step forward and win the climate race. That is why now it is the time to show steadfast commitment and prioritize the most efficient, sustainable and cost-effective pathways to decarbonize the economy.

1. General Comment: Τhe AFIR’s revision should be based on the principle of infrastructure neutrality taking also under consideration that infrastructure is one of the key factors which will further promote the use of renewable fuels thus allowing for the decarbonisation of the transport sectors (both road and maritime).

The turbulence of the energy market regarding volatile natural gas prices and especially the threat of a sudden significant disruption of Russian gas supplies, affects Europe as a whole. Without a doubt, a policy to mitigate its consequences would become more effective if implemented at EU rather than only at national -Member State- level. In this respect, DEPA Commercial S.A.

New and major threats are being experienced by the continental gas sector and a coordinated action at European level is needed. Enel therefore welcomes the intention of the European Commission to revise the Regulation (EU) 2017/1938, which aims to improve the resiliency of the gas sector and ensure that security of gas supply is fit to the current challenges.
