Proposal for a directive
Recital 5 a (new)
(5 a) Member States should earmark the revenues obtained by taxation of kerosene and bunker oil in order to support sustainable investments in the aviation and maritime sector and to assist these sectors to achieve the goals of the European Green Deal. For the inland waterway sector, the relevant tax revenues can be a financing source for the European Inland Waterway Fund.1a This Fund should include a one-stop-shop system that is easily accessible for help and assistance and has the possibility to combine projects into a single application, thus increasing the chances for funding. The Fund should complement the existing reserve funds created under Regulation (EU) No 546/2014, with additional financial contributions from EU and national financing instruments, in order to leverage further investments from the industry and to address the current investment gap approaching 10 billion euros in financing the sustainable transition.1b The Fund should provide for the possibility of blending with the CEF, the European Structural and Investment Funds, including the Cohesion Fund, and financing instruments from the European Investment Bank. _________________ 1a European Parliament resolution of 14 September 2021 towards future-proof inland waterway transport in Europe (2021/2015(INI)), p.14; European Commission Communication 'NAIADES III' (COM(2021) 324), p. 13 1b Development Centre for Ship Technology and Transport Systems (DST), Assessment of technologies in view of zero-emission IWT’, part of the overarching study by the Central Commission for the Navigation of the Rhine entitled Financing the energy transition towards a zero-emission European IWT sector, Report No 2293, p. 95.
