Amendment 117 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 1 – paragraph 1 a (new)
Regulation (EU) 2015/757
Article 3 – paragraph 1 – point d a (new)
(1a) In Article 3, paragraph 1 the following point is inserted: (da) The Commission shall by 30 June 2021, after a proper impact assessment, propose an amendment of the Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council* to include emissions taking place as from 1 January 2023 from all ships that arrive at or depart from Union ports and are regulated by this Regulation. The Commission shall indicate how to achieve at least 40% reduction by 2030 compared to 2008 (which is the same international baseline set by IMO in its Initial Strategyon reduction of GHG emissions from ships) and suggest appropriate measures in order to reach the target as soon as possible; thereby considering the MEPC 76 outcomes on the matter of short-term measures. To ensure the best possible environmental integrity and ensure the competitiveness of European ship owners, the proposal should be neutral on flags and ensure equal treatment, and all funds from full auctioning shall fund maritime research, development and innovation measures to tackle climate change, including an establishment of a 'Maritime Transport Decarbonisation Fund' (the Fund) and is to be established for the period from 2021 to 2030, containing 50% of the revenues from the auctioning of allowances will be allocated to the Fund to improve the energy efficiency of ships and support investment in innovative technologies and infrastructure to decarbonise maritime transport, to invest in the electrification of transport, and the development of sustainable alternative fuels and zero emission propulsion technologies. Due to the Commission’s expectations on an international deal through the IMO, latest by spring 2021, the Commission states in their Communication of 11 December 2019 on a ‘European Green Deal’, that a proposal for including shipping into the EU ETS is scheduled by June 2021. The European Commission shall adopt their proposal before for the amendments to the Directive 2003/87/EC if the European Commission - with certainty - can conclude that an international agreement on short-term measures towards 2030 is out of reach. __________________ * Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC (OJ L275, 25.10.2003, p. 32).
