(3) The European Parliament'In its Rresolution of February 2014 on a 2030 framework for climate and energy policies called on the Commission and the Member States to set a binding Union 203014 March 2019, Parliament supported the objective of climate neutrality by a large majority and urged that concrete measures are needed to achieve this objective. Furthermore, the European Parliament has on several occasions expressed its support for raising the Union's binding target ofor reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40% compared to 1990 levels2030. The European Parliament also notedpointed out that all sectors of the economy would need to, including international aviation and maritime transport, must contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissiones if the Union is to deliver its fair share ofmake an adequate contribution to the global efforts.

Recital 13 a (new)
(13a) The successful transition to zero- emission shipping requires an integrated approach and the right enabling environment to stimulate innovation, both on ships and in ports. That enabling environment involves public and private investment in research and innovation, technological and operational measures to improve the energy efficiency of ships, and the deployment of sustainable alternative fuels and propulsion technologies, including the necessary refuelling and recharging infrastructure in ports. A Maritime Transport Decarbonisation Fund should be established from revenues generated from the auctioning of maritime allowances under the EU ETS to improve the energy efficiency of ships and support investment in innovative technologies and infrastructure to decarbonise maritime transport, including in short sea shipping and ports, and the deployment of sustainable alternative fuels and zero- emission propulsion technologies. The Commission should also develop measures to regulate the access of the most polluting ships to Union ports and to oblige docked fossil-fuel ships to use shore-side electricity. An exemption should only be given for completely zero- emission ships. The Commission should also require ports to adopt demurrage tariffs based on emissions.

(15a) Ships pollute a lot not only by greenhouse gasses. In many European cities the effect of shipping emissions like Sox Nox, black carbon, and particular matter is significant. The Commission should review the existing legislation by June 2021 and make concrete proposals to address the problem.

Recital 15 b (new)
(15b) There is broad political consensus that the maritime sector should do more to the reduction of emissions and therefore, among other measures, the maritime sector should be included in the EU ETS. The President of the European Commission announced in her political guidelines before her election by the European Parliament “I will propose to extend the Emissions Trading System to cover the maritime sector”. The Commission announced in the Green Deal communication of 11 December 2019 “The Commission will propose to extend European emissions trading to the maritime sector”. The inclusion should take place as soon as possible. That is why the Commission should be obliged to do the impact assessment immediately and make a legislative proposal latest by 31 December 2020.

(15c) There is broad consensus on top of the inclusion in the EU ETS, additional measures are necessary and useful. Among others, the IMO has worked on an efficiency standard. It is appropriate to include the core elements of this efficiency standard in Union law. That is why the Commission should be obliged to start the impact assessment and make the corresponding proposal as soon as possible.
