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.

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.
