12a. Urges the Commission to assist in developing regional solutions and to promote national actions to address marine litter with the aim of eliminating it; to help set up pilot projects to collect marine litter through beach clean-ups and fishing for litter campaigns, and to provide financial support to fishermen in Europe for the collection of marine litter;
Amendment 154 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12 b (new)
Paragraph 12 b (new)

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 19 a (new)
Paragraph 19 a (new)
19a. Underlines the role that natural gas, in particular LNG could play in the transition towards the decarbonisation of the transport sector, especially with regard to shipping, by helping to reduce CO2 emissions and air pollutants;
Amendment 236 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 19 b (new)
Paragraph 19 b (new)
19b. Stresses that shore-side power has a key role to play in greener shipping as it allows ships to turn off their engines and plug into an electrical grid to produce electricity for hoteling, unloading and loading activities while in ports and at berth; calls on the Commission and Member States to step up their efforts to encourage and support the use of shore- side electricity to all ships visiting European ports, eliminating this way ship engine emissions in port waters, reducing pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions, as well as reducing noise, vibration and engine wear-and-tear;
Amendment 245 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 21
Paragraph 21
21. Stresses the importance of developing innovative services for public and private actors in order to obtain a good knowledge of the environmental status of marine waters; welcomes, in this context, the full operability of the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service and the intergovernmental Group on Earth Observations (GEO); and urges the Commission to establish Copernicus- based capacities to monitor greenhouse gas emissions, including CO2, as it would have great added value to our fight against climate change;
Amendment 247 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 21 a (new)
Paragraph 21 a (new)
21a. Notes with concern that small islands are highly vulnerable to coastal erosion since their coastal environments might be heavily impacted by sea-level rise, water cycle and marine ecosystem trends due to climate change; emphasizes that existing large European data assembly centres do not contain sediment mass balance data sets required to understand coastal changes and erosion at small islands scale; stresses, therefore, the urgent need to develop and use innovative, state-of-the-art technologies to collect, evaluate and monitor coastal erosion, coastal and marine conditions and environmental parameters of small EU islands; calls on the Commission and Member States to support such projects;
