Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13 c (new)

C(13c) The impact assessment conducted by the Commission in 2013 accompanying the proposal for the EU MRV Regulation showed the effectiveness of an EU Emission Trading System for maritime emissions and identified an ETS system or a target based compensation fund as the options that could ensure the necessary emissions reductions in the sector. In order to include international shipping in the Union's emissions reduction effort, Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council1a should be extended to cover maritime emissions. At the same time a "Blue Fund" should be created to reduce emissions from maritime transport and to protect, restore and better manage marine and coastal ecosystems impacted by global warming, such as marine protected areas; and promote crosscutting sustainable blue economy such as renewable marine energy. The Commission should adopt delegated acts, inter alia, for setting the total quantity of allowances for maritime transport in line with other sectors, and the method of allocation of allowances for maritime transport through auctioning. When preparing these delegated acts, the Commission should update the 2013 impact assessment in particular to reflect the Union’s overall greenhouse gas reduction target, and economic impacts including in terms of possible risks of unintended modal shifts and carbon leakage, and publish the results of this assessment. It is important that the Union and its Member States support measures at the international level to reduce the climate impacts of maritime transport. The Commission should keep under review any progress towards the adoption of a market-based measure by the IMO, and should in the event of adoption of a global market-based measure, consider how to ensure alignment between Union measures and global measures. __________________ 1aDirective 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).

(13d) Article 10(3) of Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council1a provides that 50% of revenues generated from the auctioning of allowances for ETS emissions, which is allocated to the Member States, should be used to tackle climate change, inter alia, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, to adapt to the impacts of climate change, to fund research and development for mitigation and adaptation. In parallel with the inclusion of the maritime sector in the ETS, a significant part of ETS revenues allocated to the Member States should be used to establish a “Blue Fund” to reduce emissions from maritime transport and to protect, restore and better manage marine and coastal ecosystems impacted by global warming, such as marine protected areas; and promote crosscutting sustainable blue economy such as renewable marine energy. All Member States should participate to the allocation of the Fund operated at Union level established by this Regulation. Each national contributions should then be proportionate according to the importance of their exclusive economic zone and maritime economy. The Fund should support the improvement of energy efficiency of ships and investment in innovative technologies and infrastructures to decarbonise maritime transport, including in short sea shipping and ports, and the deployment of sustainable alternative fuels and zero- emission propulsion technologies including wind technologies. __________________ 1aDirective 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).

Chapter II a (new)

Article 1a Amendments to Directive 2003/87/EC Directive 2003/87/EC is amended as follows: (1) the following chapter is inserted: CHAPTER IIa MARITIME TRANSPORT Article 3ga Scope The provisions of this Chapter shall apply from 1 January 2023 to the allocation and issue of allowances in respect of greenhouse gas emissions from ships covered by Regulation (EU) 2015/757 of the European Parliament and of the Council*. Article 3gb Total quantity and method of allocation of allowances for maritime transport 1. By June 2021, the Commission shall adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 23 to supplement this Directive by setting the total quantity of allowances for maritime transport in line with other sectors and the method of allocation of allowances for maritime transport through auctioning, as well as laying down the special provisions with regard to the administering Member State. The delegated act shall be based on the best available data and on an assessment of the impacts of different options, including impacts on emissions as well as economic impacts. 2. Articles 12 and 16 shall apply to allowances for maritime transport in the same manner as to allowances related to other activities. 3. Member States shall use the revenues generated from the auctioning of allowances that are allocated to them, to tackle climate change in accordance with Article 10(3) of this Directive. They shall allocate a significant part of these revenues to the Blue Fund established according to Article 3gc. Each Member State shall participate to the Fund. National contributions should then be proportionate according to the importance of their exclusive economic zone and maritime economy. Member States shall report annually to the Commission about actions taken pursuant to the first subparagraph of this paragraph. Article 3gc Blue Fund 1. A Blue Fund (the Fund) operated at Union level shall be established to improve the energy efficiency of ships and support investment in innovative technologies and infrastructures to decarbonise maritime transport, including in short sea shipping and ports, and the deployment of sustainable alternative fuels and zero-emission propulsion technologies including wind technologies. The Fund shall also contribute to the protection, restoration and better management of marine ecosystems impacted by global warming, such as marine protected areas; and promote crosscutting sustainable blue economy such as renewable marine energy. 2. By way of derogation from Article 12 of this Directive, maritime transport companies may pay an annual membership contribution to the Fund in accordance with their total emissions reported for the preceding calendar year under Regulation (EU) 2015/757. The Fund shall surrender allowances collectively on behalf of maritime transport companies that are members of the Fund. The contribution per tonne of emissions shall be set by the Fund by 28 February each year, but shall be at least equal to the market price for allowances in the preceding year. 3. The Fund shall acquire allowances equal to the collective total quantity of contributions referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article during the preceding calendar year and surrender them to the registry established under Article 19 of this Directive by 30 April each year for subsequent cancellation. Information on contributions shall be made available to the public. 4. All investment supported by the Fund shall be made public and be consistent with the aims of this Directive. 5. The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 23 to supplement this Directive concerning rules on the operation of the Fund, including Member States' contributions, the selection procedure and criteria for investments Article 3gd International cooperation In the event that an international agreement on global marked-based measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from maritime transport is reached, the Commission shall review this Directive and shall, if appropriate, propose amendments in order to ensure alignment with that international agreement. __________________ * Regulation (EU) 2015/757 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2015 on the monitoring, reporting and verification of carbon dioxide emissions from maritime transport, and amending Directive 2009/16/EC (OJ L 123 19.5.2015, p. 55).
