Amendment 119 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4
Recital 4
(4) The overwhelming majority of Union maritime traffic transits through the seaports of the trans-European transport network. In order to achieve the aim of this Regulation in a proportionate way without imposing any unnecessary burden on other ports, this Regulation should apply to the ports of the trans-European transport network, each of which playing a significant role for the European transport system either because it handles more than 0.1% of the total EU freight or the total number of passengers or because it improves the regional accessibility of island or peripheral areas, without prejudice, however, to the possibility of Member States deciding to apply this Regulation to other ports as well. Member States may decide not to apply the rules on the separation of accounts to small ports in the comprehensive network, subject to certain conditions. Pilotage services performed in the deep sea do not have a direct impact on the efficiency of the ports as they are not used for the direct entry and exit of the ports and therefore do not need to be included in this Regulation.

Recital 31
Recital 31
(31) Since the objectives of this Regulation, namely ensuring the modernisation of port services and the appropriate framework to attract necessary investments in all the ports of the trans- European transport network, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States because of the European dimension, international and cross-border nature of port and related maritime business and can therefore, by reason of the need for a European level playing field, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives. European Union ports should be protected towards third countries ports which are not subject to the same organisation and operation criteria of this Regulation.

7a. Member States may decide not to apply the rules on the separation of accounts of paragraph 2 to small ports in the comprehensive network, in cases where they do not meet the criteria set out in Article 20(2)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 1315/2013 and whose traffic do not justify this disproportionate administrative burden. Receipt and use of public funds shall continue be reflected in the accounting system in a transparent way. In such case the Member States shall inform the Commission beforehand.
