Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4 a (new)

4a. Underlines that European hubs connect Europe with the rest of the world and that Europe needs to maintain its direct connectivity to all parts of the world, providing direct flights by European carriers from their European hubs to overseas destinations, maintaining jobs and growth in the European aviation sector; stresses that flights within the EU not only provide mobility in the internal market but also play a vital role as feeder flights to maintain connectivity at EU hubs; EU policy must ensure an efficient and competitive feeder network to strengthen European hubs, reducing costs to globally competitive levels and ensuring fair competition with carriers from third countries; EU Member States need a coherent and common policy in order not to further loose direct connectivity between Europe, Asia and Africa to hubs in the Gulf and Turkey; therefore asks the Commission to implement these goals in all EU aviation legislation and to apply them in their negotiations with third countries;

(11) Complying with the low fuel sulphur limits, particularly in SECAs, ~~can~~ results in a significant increase in the price of marine fuels~~, at least in the short term,~~ and ~~can~~will have a negative effect for the competitiveness of short sea shipping in comparison with other transport modes as well as for the competitiveness of the industries in the countries bordering SECAs. Suitable solutions are necessary in order to reduce compliance costs for the affected industries, such as allowing for alternative, more cost-effective methods of compliance than fuel-based compliance and providing support, where necessary. The Commission will, based inter alia on reports from Member States, closely monitor the impacts of the shipping sector's compliance with the new fuel quality standards, particularly with respect to possible modal backshift from sea to land based transport.
