Recital 17 a (new)
Recital 17 a (new)
(17 a) Measures should be included in this Directive to prevent the carbon leakage produced as a result of more stringent rules applied in EU ports than in non-EU countries. Special attention needs to be paid to transhipment operations in non EU neighbouring ports, which could benefit from an unfair playing field if sufficient compensatory measures are not foreseen. This difference in the applicable rules would imply a shift in deep sea traffic towards ports outside the EU and would generate feeder ship traffic that only registers 50% of its emissions. The traffic – whose origin is at a neighbouring, non-EU transhipment port – should be treated as intra-EU traffic and ship-owners should acquire 100% of their emission rights when their ships are en route to an EU port. Also, a gradual phase-in for the emission trading system should be set for deep sea routes performing at least 30% of transhipment operations in EU ports.

(v) ‘shipping company’ means the shipowner or any other organisation or person, such as the manager or the bareboat charterer, that has assumed the responsibility for the operation of the ship from the shipowner and that, on assuming such responsibility, has agreed to take over all the duties and responsibilities imposed by the International Management Code for the Safe Operation of Ships and for Pollution Prevention, set out in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 336/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council(*); When the ultimate responsibility for the purchase of the fuel or the operation of the ship is assumed by a different entity pursuant to a contractual agreement, this entity shall be responsible under this contractual agreement to cover the costs arising from the implementation of this Directive. Operation of the ship for the purposes of this Article shall mean determining the cargo carried, the route or the speed of the ship.

(a c) An aircraft operator shall also receive allowances free of charge proportional with the use of best available aircraft technology in the previous year. (a) The aircraft models eligible as best available aircraft technology shall be those defined with respect to the performance against the New Type ICAO CO2 standard in a delegated act developed under the EU taxonomy. Until the Commission adopts such a delegated act, the performance thresholds defined in the report of the Platform on Sustainable Finance shall apply. (b) An operator shall report its share of flights using best available aircraft technology – in relation to their total emissions in a given year to the competent authorities. These shall request that the reported data is substantiated and verify the data. (c) To reduce administrative burden on authorities and operators, the latter may choose not to report this share, resulting on no free allowances for the use of best available aircraft technology.
