Proposal for a directive
Recital 17

(17) In the European Green Deal, the Commission stated its intention to take additional measures to address greenhouse gas emissions from the maritime transport sector through a basket of measures to enable the Union to reach its emissions reduction targets. In this context, Directive 2003/87/EC should be amended to include the maritime transport sector in the EU ETS in order to ensure this sector contributes to the increased climate objectives of the Union as well as to the objectives of the Paris Agreement, which requires developed countries to take the lead by undertaking economy-wide emission reduction targets, while developing countries are encouraged to move over time towards economy-wide emission reduction or limitation targets.49The Commission should assist developing countries in reaching that goal by dedicated EU Global Decarbonisation Fund. Considering that emissions from international aviation outside Europe should be capped from January 2021 by global market-based action while there is no action in place that caps or prices maritime transport emissions, it is appropriate that the EU ETS covers a share of the emissions from voyages between a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State and port under the jurisdiction of a third country, with the third country being able to decide on appropriate action in respect of the other share of emissions. The extension of the EU ETS to the maritime transport sector should thus include half of the emissions from ships performing voyages arriving at a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State from a port outside the jurisdiction of a Member State, half of the emissions from ships performing voyages departing from a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State and arriving at a port outside the jurisdiction of a Member State, emissions from ships performing voyages arriving at a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State from a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State, and emissions at berth in a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State. This approach has been noted as a practical way to solve the issue of Common but Differentiated Responsibilities and Capabilities, which has been a longstanding challenge in the UNFCCC context. The coverage of a share of the emissions from both incoming and outgoing voyages between the Union and third countries ensures the effectiveness of the EU ETS, notably by increasing the environmental impact of the measure compared to a geographical scope limited to voyages within the EU, while limiting the risk of evasive port calls and the risk of delocalisation of transhipment activities outside the Union. To ensure a smooth inclusion of the sector in the EU ETS, the surrendering of allowances by shipping companies should be gradually increased with respect to verified emissions reported for the period 2023 to 2025. To protect the environmental integrity of the system, to the extent that fewer allowances are surrendered in respect of verified emissions for maritime transport during those years, once the difference between verified emissions and allowances surrendered has been established each year, a corresponding a number of allowances should be cancelled. As from 2026, shipping companies should surrender the number of allowances corresponding to all of their verified emissions reported in the preceding year. _________________ 49 Paris Agreement, Article 4(4).

Proposal for a directive
Recital 38 a (new)

(38 a) The Commission should support developing countries with decarbonisation of their industries, in particular in those sectors corresponding to the sectors covered under the EU-ETS and CBAM, in order to facilitate their achievement of economy-wide emission reduction targets in line with the Paris Agreement. For that purpose, the Commission should establish the EU Global Decarbonisation Fund. This Fund should be financed by the revenue of (%) allowances above 600 million held in the market stability reserve which would otherwise be invalidated and with 20% revenues generated by the sale of CBAM certificates.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 58 a (new)

(58 a) By 31 December 2023, the Commission should submit a report to the European Parliament and to the Council in which it examines the decarbonisation needs in developing countries by assessing GHG emissions in those sectors corresponding to the sectors covered under the EU ETS and CBAM. That assessment should serve as the basis for qualification of countries as eligible to receive financing under the EU Global Decarbonisation Fund to reach economy- wide emission reduction targets.

Directive 2003/87/EC
Article 10e (new)

(14 a) The following article is inserted: “Article 10e 1. By 21 June 2023, the Commission shall establish a dedicated EU Global Decarbonisation Fund to support decarbonisation investments in developing countries. The revenue of (%) allowances held in the market stability reserve above 600 million in accordance with Article 1(5a) and 20% of revenues generated by the sale of CBAM certificates referred to in [Article 20] of the CBAM Regulation shall be allocated to that Fund. 2. The EU Global Decarbonisation Fund shall support the transition of eligible countries referred to in Article -30j, to reach economy-wide emission reduction targets, as set out in those countries’ nationally determined contributions under the Paris Agreement, through funding of decarbonisation of energy and industry, including through investment projects and technology transfers in the area of: (a) renewable energy to shift the economy away from carbon-intensive energy sources and fossil fuels; (b) innovative technologies and infrastructure for decarbonising ETS- covered industrial installations; 3. By 21 June 2023, the Commission shall adopt a delegated act in accordance with Article 23 to set out the project eligibility criteria, application and award procedures and the related remedies, supervision and monitoring procedures and other operative provisions regulating the operation of the EU Global Decarbonisation Fund.
