Article 7
1. Where, 9 months or more before the day of the publication of an auction within the scope of Article 26 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1735, the Commission has determined in accordance with Article 29(2) of that Regulation that more than 50 % of the supply within the Union of the net-zero technologies final products referred to in points (a) to (f) of this subparagraph originates in a single third country, or that the supply within the Union of the net-zero technologies final products referred to in points (a) to (f) of this subparagraph originating in a single third country has increased by at least 10 percentage points on average for two consecutive years and reaches at least 40 % of the supply within the Union, the relevant authorities shall allow participation in the auction or award points only to bids that fulfil the following requirements concerning the final products and main specific components listed in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1178 that are part of the bid: (a) For PV technologies, the final products are not assembled in that third country and at least four main specific components used do not originate in that third country. The PV inverters and the PV cells or equivalent do not originate and the PV modules are not assembled in that third country. (b) For onshore wind technologies, the final products do not originate in that third country and no more than three main specific components originate in that third country. Direct drive drivetrains (including generator) and/or gearbox drivetrains (including generator) do not originate in that third country. (c) For offshore wind technologies, the final products do not originate in that third country and no more than four main specific components originate in that third country. Direct drive drivetrains (including generator) and/or gearbox drivetrains (including generator) do not originate in that third country. (d) For electrolysers, the final products do not originate in that third country and no more than two main specific components originate in that third country. The stack does not originate in that third country. (e) For heat pump technologies, the final products do not originate in that third country and no more than one main specific component originates in that third country. (f) For all the net-zero technologies falling under the scope of Article 26 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1735 other than those listed in points (a) to (e), the final products do not originate in that third country. Where, 9 months or more before the day of the publication of the relevant auction, the Commission has determined in accordance with Article 29(2) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1735 that, in addition to the conditions mentioned in the first subparagraph, more than 85 % of the supply within the Union of one or more main specific components originate in a single third country, Member States shall allow participation in the auction or award points only to bids in which, for at least one of those main specific components, the quantity of that component originating in that third country does not exceed 85 %. Where auctions are published less than 9 months after the day on which the Commission has most recently determined the share of the Union supply originating in a single third country referred to in the first and second subparagraphs, the relevant authorities shall apply this paragraph on the basis of that latest determination or the previous one. If there is no previous one, the relevant authorities may apply this paragraph on the basis of the latest determination. 2. Where the conditions set out in paragraph 1 are not met but 9 months or more before the day of the publication of an auction within the scope of Article 26 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1735 the Commission has determined that more than 50 % of the supply of one or more main specific components of a specific net-zero technology within the Union originates in a single third country or the supply within the Union of one or more main specific components of that net-zero technology originating in a single third country has increased by at least 10 percentage points on average for two consecutive years and reaches at least 40 % of the supply within the Union, the relevant authorities shall allow participation in the auction or award points only to bids in which the quantity of each of those main specific components originating in that third country does not exceed 50 %. When applying this obligation, the relevant authorities may combine the application of pre-qualification and award criteria for the different main specific components. Where the share of supply within the Union originating in a single third country referred to in the first subparagraph is above 85 %, the relevant authorities may increase the limit on the maximum quantity of components of the first subparagraph from 50 % to up to 85 %. Where auctions are published less than 9 months after the day on which the Commission has most recently determined the share of the Union supply originating in a single third country referred to in the first and second subparagraphs, the relevant authorities shall apply this paragraph on the basis of that latest determination or the previous one. If there is no previous one, the relevant authorities may apply this paragraph on the basis of the latest determination. 3. For onshore wind technologies, offshore wind technologies and electrolysers, where the Commission, at the time of the publication of the auctions, has not determined in accordance with Article 29(2) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1735 that more than 50 % of the supply within the Union of a specific net-zero technology final product, or more than 40 % with two consecutive years of increase by at least 10 percentage points on average, originates in a single third country, the relevant authorities shall apply the resilience criterion by allowing participation in the auction or award points only to bids for which at least 75 % of the final products that are part of the bid fulfil the requirements set in paragraph 1, with respect to final products and main specific components originating or assembled in the People’s Republic of China.
