  "abstract": "Recent data for the slope of the EMC-ratio in the intermediate $x$-region for {\\em light} nuclei, with $3 \\leq A \\leq 12$, have the potential to shed new light on the origin of the EMC effect. Here we study the role of nuclear binding using the scaling variable ${\\tilde y}$, best suited to take into account this effect, and the understanding of the average nucleon removal energies, $\\bar{E}$, provided by state-of-the-art calculations based on nuclear many body theory. We find an excellent correlation between the new EMC data at $x \\sim 0.5$ and $\\bar{E}$ for nuclei with $A$ from 3 to $\\infty$, indicating that in this $x$ region binding is an important ingredient to explain the EMC effect. The role played by nucleon-nucleon correlations in this context is also discussed.",
