Amendment 25 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 23
Recital 23
(23) Fuel used for waterborne navigation, including fishing, should also be taxed, and the Member States party to international agreements providing for the exemption of that fuel, have to, by the date of the application of this Directive, ensure they eliminate the incompatibilities. It is necessary to allow for a different level of taxation to be applied to the use of energy products and electricity for intra-EU waterborne regular service navigation, fishing and freight transport and their respective at berth activities. Considering the specificity of those uses, the minimum levels of taxation should be lower than the ones applicable to general motor fuel use. In order to provide an incentive to the use of sustainable alternative fuels and electricity, such fuels and electricity should be exempted from taxation for twenty years. Fishing vessel operating with innovative or selective gear, or using fishing techniques with reduced environmental impact, such as reduced energy consumption for at least half of its sea days, should also be exempted from taxation for twenty years. Energy products and electricity used for the remaining intra- EU waterborne navigation should be subject to the standard levels of taxation applicable to motor fuels and electricity in the Member States.
