Amendment 49 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 8
(8) As a party to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Union has ratified the Paris Agreement . The taxation of energy products and, where appropriate, electricity is one of the instruments available for achieving the Paris Agreement objectives. The sourcing of electricity also needs to be taken into account, to incentivize green sourcing as much as possible.

Amendment 56 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 18
(18) Energy products used as a motor fuel for certain purposes and those used as heating fuel are normally taxed at lower levels than those applicable to energy products used as a propellant. Electricity should always be among the least taxed energy sources in view of fostering its use, notably in the transport sector. To that purpose, Member States should endeavour to apply the same level of taxation to electricity used to charge electric vehicles as for heating purposes during the necessary time following the entry into force of this Directive. Considering the maritime transport sector, a tax exemption applying to electricity provided for vessels at berth (OPS) should be in place. Efforts need to be undertaken to source this electricity in a sustainable way.

Amendment 58 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 18 a (new)
(18 a) Electrification in the transport sector is key, the EV-infrastructure and underlying electricity network needs to be made fit in line with the Green Deal ambitions. In addition, the sourcing of electricity needs to follow the same aspirations of the transition as envisioned by the Green Deal. Green public transport should form the backbone for the transport transition.
