Shadow opinions (1)
OPINION on the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on port reception facilities for the delivery of waste from ships, repealing Directive 2000/59/EC and amending Directive 2009/16/EC and Directive 2010/65/EU

Recital 2
Recital 2
(2) The International Convention on the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (‘MARPOL Convention’) provides for general prohibitions on discharges from ships and fixed or floating platforms at sea, but also regulates the conditions under which certain types of waste can be discharged into the marine environment. The MARPOL Convention requires Member States to ensure the provision of adequate reception facilities in ports.

Recital 13
(13) Although the majority of marine litter originates from land-based activities, the shipping industry, including the fishing and recreational sectors, is also an important contributor, with discharges of garbage, including plastic and derelict fishing gear, going directly into the sea. Fixed or floating platforms also contribute to marine litter and should be required to deliver their waste to Union ports at regular intervals.

(19) The ‘Green Ship’ concept should be further developimplemented in relation to waste management. Minimum requirements should be established across the Union, so that an effective reward system can be implemented for those vessels that reduce their waste on board, in line with best practices and the 2017 IMO guidelines for the implementation of Annex V of the MARPOL Convention.

(21a) Plastic fishing gear has a high recycling potential, in particular when designed properly. Therefore, in line with the polluter pays principle, extended producer responsibility schemes should be established to finance sound waste management of fishing gear and components and to achieve high collection rates.

Recital 18
(18) To address the problem of marine litter effectively, it is fundamental to provide the right level of incentives for the delivery of waste to port reception facilities, in particular garbage. This can be achieved through a cost recovery system, which requires the application of an indirect fee, which is due irrespective of the delivery of waste and which should give a right of delivery of the waste without any additional direct charges. The fishing and recreational sector, given their contribution to the occurrence of marine litter, should also be included in this systemdelivery of accidentally fished waste should be excluded from the cost recovery system and should not result in additional costs on fishing vessels.
