Recital 8

(8) Those amendments have differing economic and social impacts on the different sectors of the economy, citizens and Member States. In particular, the inclusion of greenhouse gas emissions from buildings, road transport and additional sectors which correspond to industrial activities not covered by Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (6) within the scope of that Directive should provide an additional economic incentive to invest in the reduction of fossil fuel consumption and thereby accelerate the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Combined with other measures, this should, in the medium to long term, contribute to the reduction of energy poverty and transport poverty, reduce the costs of buildings and road transport, and, where relevant, provide new opportunities for quality job creation and sustainable investments, fully aligned with the goals of the European Green Deal.
