Amendment 71 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 17 a (new)
(17 a) The EU ETS should contribute to effectively decarbonising maritime transport activities as much as possible. The transition from fossil fuels to renewable and low-carbon fuels will play a considerable role in that process. However, considering the high level of competition between shipping companies and the important price differential between conventional fuels and renewable and low-carbon fuels, this transition should be supported through economic incentives that reflect the environmental benefit of alternative fuels and make them more competitive for shipping companies thereby avoiding carbon leakage. For this purpose, free allowances should be allocated to shipping companies, in proportion to the amount of alternative fuels used and reported. The amount of allowances allocated for free should be adjusted with multipliers in order to take into account that some types of alternative fuels deliver higher environmental benefits and are more costly to purchase for shipping companies. The Commission should regularly review the level of the multipliers based on fuels market price information.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 17 c (new)
(17 c) A Maritime Transition Fund (‘the Maritime Fund’) should be established to provide funds to the Member States to support their policies supporting maritime transport sector decarbonisation. This should be achieved notably through development of innovative technologies for decarbonising the sector, production of sustainable alternative fuels as defined in Regulation on the use of renewable and low-carbon fuels in maritime transport XXX/XXX, including systems for collection of raw materials for alternative fuels, investments in research and development and first industrial application of technologies and designs reducing GHG emissions, research for new engines and technologies, and ports infrastructure. The Commission should submit legislative proposals for the creation of a Maritime Fund. The Maritime Fund should be a fully budgeted expenditure programme within the MFF. The budgetary envelope for this programme should be expressed as an amount set at a level equivalent to 50% of the revenue expected from the auctioning of maritime allowances. The Maritime Fund shall be implemented by the Commission in direct management in accordance with the relevant rules adopted pursuant to Article322 TFEU, in particular Regulation(EU, Euratom) 2018/1046 and Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2020/2092 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

Article 3ga new
Article 3ga new 1. A shipping company shall receive allowances allocated for free proportional with the use of biofuels, biogas, renewable fuels of non-biological origin and recycled carbon fuel, verified by a scheme that is recognised by the Commission in accordance with Article 30(5) and (6) of the Directive (EU) 2018/2001. 2. For each type of fuels referred in paragraph 1, the amount of allowances received shall correspond to the amount of allowances, which the shipping company would have been required to surrender for the same volume of conventional fuel, multiplied according to Paragraph 3 of this Article. 3. The amount of free allowances referred to in paragraph 2 shall be multiplied as follows, depending on the type of renewable and low-carbon fuels reported: a. By factor of 3 for biofuels and biogas that comply with the sustainability and greenhouse gas saving criteria set out in Article29 of Directive (EU) 2018/2001; b. By a factor of 6 for renewable fuels of non-biological origin and recycled carbon fuel that comply with the greenhouse gas emission savings thresholds set out in Article27(3) of Directive (EU) 2018/2001. 4. A shipping company shall not receive allowances allocated for free for the use of biofuels and biogas that do not comply with the sustainability and greenhouse gas saving criteria set out in Article 29 of Directive (EU) 2018/2001. 5. By 1 January 2030,the multipliers referred to in paragraph 3(a) and 3(b) shall be reviewed to reflect market and technological developments. 6. Each year 15million of the total quantity of allowances referred in to Article 9 shall be reserved to be allocated for free in respect of shipping companies that uplift renewable and low-carbon fuels as defined in the Regulation xxx/xxx [ReFuel Maritime]
