21 Amendments of Karima DELLI related to 2018/0012(COD)

Amendment 31 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 2
(2) The International Convention on the Prevention of Pollution from Ships ('MARPOL Convention') provides for general prohibitions on discharges from ships and fixed or floating platforms at sea, but also regulates the conditions under which certain types of waste can be discharged into the marine environment. The MARPOL Convention requires Member States to ensure the provision of adequate reception facilities in ports.

Amendment 43 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 13
(13) Although the majority of marine litter originates from land-based activities, the shipping industry, including the fishing and recreational sectors, is also an important contributor, with discharges of garbage, including plastic and derelict fishing gear, going directly into the sea. Fixed or floating platforms should also be required to deliver their waste to port reception facilities regularly.

Amendment 50 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 18
(18) To address the problem of marine litter effectively, it is fundamental to provide the right level of incentives for the delivery of waste to port reception facilities, in particular garbage. This can be achieved through a cost recovery system, which requires the application of an indirect fee, which is due irrespective of the delivery of waste and which should give a right of delivery of the waste without any additional direct charges. Nonetheless, ship managers should also work toward the reduction of waste generated on board. The fishing and recreational sector, given their contribution to the occurrence of marine litter, should also be included in this system.

Amendment 79 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 30
(30) In order to take account of developments at international level, and to promote environmentally sound waste management practices on board, the power to adopt acts in accordance with article 290 TFEU should be delegated to the Commission in respect of amending this Directive to update the references to international instruments and the Annexes and to change references to international instruments, in order to prevent, if necessary, changes to those international instruments from applying for the purposes of this Directive, and to developimplement and further refine common criteria for recognising 'green ships' for the purpose of granting a reduced waste fee to those ships. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level. The Commission when preparing and drawing up delegated acts, should ensure a simultaneous, timely and appropriate transmission of relevant documents to the European Parliament and the Council.

Point (c) shall apply without prejudice to the more stringent requirements imposed by Regulation (EC) 1069/2009 for the management of catering waste from international transport.
