Amendment 101 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 32
(32) A comprehensive approach to innovation is essential for achieving the European Green Deal objectives. At EU level, the necessary research and innovation efforts are supported, among others, through Horizon Europe, which include significant funding and new instruments for the sectors coming under the ETS. Member States should ensure that the national transposition provisions do not hamper innovations and are technologically neutral. Consequently, the ETS Innovation Fund should seek synergies with Horizon Europe and, where relevant, with other Union funding programmes. The ETS Innovation Fund should boost growth and competitiveness by empowering EU businesses, in particular SMEs to become global technology leaders. The Fund should also support cross-cutting projects on innovative zero- carbon solutions to take off and reach the market, with the aim of leading to climate neutrality in various sectors, for example through new industrial ecosystems, promoting business model profitable for innovation. Member States should ensure that the national transposition provisions do not hamper innovations and are technologically neutral. In order to maximise the benefits of the Fund, public and private sectors should contribute through increased investments and knowledge sharing.

(54) Innovation and development as well as pilot, demonstration and up- scaling of new low-carbon technologies in the sectors of buildings and road transport are crucial for ensuring the cost-efficient contribution of these sectors to the expected emission reductions. Therefore, 150 million allowances from emissions trading in the buildings and road transport sectors should also be made available to the Innovation Fund to stimulate the cost-efficient emission reductions.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 20
(20) The person or organisation responsible for the compliance with the EU ETS should be the shipping company, defined as the shipowner or any other organisation or person, such as the manager or the bareboat charterer, that has assumed the responsibility for the operation of the ship from the shipowner and that, on assuming such responsibility, has agreed to take over all the duties and responsibilities imposed by the International Management Code for the Safe Operation of Ships and for Pollution Prevention. This definition is based on the definition of ‘company’ in Article 3, point (d) of Regulation (EU) 2015/757, and in line with the global data collection system established in 2016 by the IMO. In line withorder to fully implement the polluter pays principle, the shipping company could, by means of a contractual arrangement, hold the entity that is directly responsible for the decisions affecting the CO2 emiss” we have to take into account that the shipping company is not always responsible for purchasing the fuel and/or making operational decisions that affect the CO2 emissions of the ship. These responsibilities may be assumed by an entity other than the shipping company under a contractual arrangement. In that case, and to encourage the uptake of efficiency measures and cleaner fuels, a binding clause should be included in such arrangements for the purpose of passing on the costs to that the entity. This clause should provide that the entity that is ultimately responsible for purchasing the fuel and/or for the operations of the ship accountable for the compliance costs under this Directive. This entity would normally be the entity that is responsible for the choice of fuel,should pay or cover any compliance costs paid by the shipping company under this Directive. In this regard operation of the ship should mean determining the cargo carried by, the itinerary, the routeing and/or the speed of the ship.
