Recital 5 a (new)
(5a) The overarching objective of the Directive is to prevent discharges of ship waste into the sea. Therefore, waste from repair works and sediments from cleaning or repair of ballast tanks should not fall under the scope of the Directive, as they are always discharged on land when a ship is at berth or on dry dock. Waste from repair works and sediments from cleaning or repair of ballast tanks are regulated by the EU waste legislation and the IMO Ballast Water Management Convention respectively.

(10) The Directive is also instrumental for the application of the main environmental legislation and principles in the context of ports and the management of waste from ships. In particular, Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and the Council21 , as well as Directive 2008/56/EC of the European Parliament and the Council22 , are relevant instruments in this regard. In this context, EU shall provide sufficient financial resources to fight against the climate change where the condition of the seas play a key role. Therefore the eligibility criteria for all EU funding to ports shall be that the funding enhances the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. _________________ 21 Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 November 2008 on waste and repealing certain Directives (OJ L 312, 22.11.2008, p.3). 22 Directive 2008/56/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 establishing a framework for community action in the field of marine environmental policy (Marine Strategy Framework Directive) (OJ L 164, 25.6.2008, p.19).

(30) In order to take account of developments at international level, and to promote environmentally sound waste management practices on board, the power to adopt acts in accordance with article 290 TFEU should be delegated to the Commission in respect of amending this Directive to update the references to international instruments and the Annexes and to change references to international instruments, in order to prevent, if necessary, changes to those international instruments from applying for the purposes of this Directive, and to develop common criteria for recognising ‘green ships’ for the purpose of granting a reduced waste fee to those ships. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level. The Commission when preparing and drawing up delegated acts, should ensure a simultaneous, timely and appropriate transmission of relevant documents to the European Parliament and the CouncilCommission should encourage the exchange of good practises on the development of bottom-up schemes which evaluate ’green ships’ for the purpose of granting a reduced waste fee to those ships.
