Ahead of the presentation of the actual proposal of the Commission for a #Net #Zero #Industry #Act (#NZIA) next week on 14 March, some curiosities from the leak found at @POLITICOEurope where I am wondering to which extent they will be found back in the actual proposal. /1

There is of course the list of eligible 'strategic net-zero technologies' /2
RT @repasi: Groundhog day vibes! Acc to leaks of the Net Zero Industry Act (#NZIA) seen at @POLITICOEurope, #nuclear technologies are amongst the privileged strategic net-zero technologies. Memories of the #Taxonomy DA come up. But now it's an ordinary legislative procedure. Let's fight this

Then there is the issue of the extension of this list by means of delegated act (or not, because this is an 'essential element) /3
RT @repasi: Legal fun fact in the draft proposal for a Net Zero Industry Act (#NZIA). The list of eligible technologies can be amended by the Commission by means of a #Delegated #Act. Remember the #Taxonomy? Legal Service of the Commission asks now: "Isn't it an essential element"? It is! /1

Then there is the derogation from the 'do no significant harm' principle for investments in 'Net Zero Industry Valleys' in Article 14(5): /4

There are the regulatory sandboxes in Article 15, which allow effectively for a derogation from safety rules in order to provide for a 'controlled environment', in which technologies can be developed and for which companies can apply. /5

Let's talk about money: further deviations from the EU State Aid regime for 'guarantees' and 'measures aimed at de-risking agreements with off-takers' (Article 19(4)). The financial sources for this can come from the Emission Trading Scheme (ETS) and Invest EU. /6

Curious about the final proposal to be presented on 14 March and how these curiosities will look like in the final proposal. /end

One of my favorites: Art. 24 on public procurement and the criterion 'security of supply', which refers to the 'need to diversify supply sources' and which can be weighed up to 40% of the award criteria. All in: businesses now will analyze their supply chains in depth! #CSDDD /7
