Recalls, however, that while there is strong evidence that implementation of cohesion policy has accelerated, and that the resulting programmes have made important contributions in many areas where investment is necessary for economic modernisation and competiveness (such as research and development, SME support, re- industrialisation, social inclusion, and education and training), a number of Member States risk not implementing their programmes untilbefore the end of the current programming period;

Paragraph 11
11. Is concerned that, although it is clear that evaluation has an essential role to play in the policy debate and learnthe provision of monitoring data and information on implementation is improving, the lack of data – and the impossibiquality of targets set, and the uneven quality, in many instanccases, of aggregating it – makes it impossible to monitor in a proper manner progress made at regional and local level towards the establishedreporting of progress makes it difficult to develop a full picture of progress towards the targets, and considers it a priority to broaden and update regional statistics and improve the quality of datat regional and local level;

Amendment 76 #
2013/0224(COD)
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 12
Recital 12
(12) In order to minimise the administrative burden for ship owners and operators, in particular for small and medium sized enterprises, and to optimise the benefits-costs-ratio of the MRV system without jeopardising the objective to cover a widely predominant share of greenhouse gas emissions from maritime transport, the rules for MRV should only apply to large emitters. A threshold of 5000 gross tonnage (GT) has been selected after detailed objective analysis of sizes and emissions of ships going to and coming from Union ports. Ships above 5000 GT account for around 55% of the number of ships calling into Union ports and represent around 90% of the related emissions. This non-discriminatory threshold would ensure that that the most relevant emitters are covered. A lower threshold would result in higher administrative burden while a higher threshold would limit the coverage of emissions and thus the environmental effectiveness of the system. The rules applied by this Regulation should set a level playing field in the Union’s shipping sector and ensure the coherence with the existing international Law, in particular with MARPOL VI.
Amendment 98 #
2013/0224(COD)
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 16
Recital 16
(16) Other greenhouse gases, climate forcers or air pollutants should not be covered by the Union MRV system at this stage toThe Union MRV system is an opportunity to ensure coherent regulation of the shipping sector with regard to main air emissions. Thus the MRV will require the monitoring of CO2, SOx and NOx contained in MARPOL Annex VI. This is a necessary measure to ensure that the legislation enacted to reduce the growing adverse health effects from shipping air pollution is complied with, while avoiding requirements to install not sufficiently reliable and commercially available measurement equipment, which could impede the implementation of the Union MRV system.

Recital 25
(25) In order to make use of the best available practices and scientific evidence, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty should be delegated to the Commission in respect of reviewing certain technical aspects of monitoring and reporting of CO2, SOx and NOx emissions from ships and of further specifying rules for the verification of emission reports and the accreditation of verifiers. It is of particular importance that the Commission carries 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 Council.
Amendment 110 #
2013/0224(COD)
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 27
Recital 27
(27) The objective of the proposed action, namely to monitor, report and verify CO2, SOx and NOx emissions from ships as first step of a staged approach to reduce these emissions cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States acting individually, due to the international nature of maritime transport and can therefore, by reason of scale and effects of the action, be better achieved at Union level. The Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives.

(b) If none of the gear ratios give the required acceleration, then choose a gear ratio i, with an acceleration higher and a gear ratio i + 1, with an acceleration lower than the reference acceleration. If the acceleration value in gear ratio i does not exceed 32,0 m/s2, use both gear ratios for the test. The weighting ratio in relation to the reference acceleration awot ref is calculated by: k = (a wot ref - a wot (i+1)) / (a wot (i) - a wot (i+1)) (c) if the acceleration value of gear ratio i exceeds 32.0 m/s2, the first gear ratio shall be used that gives an acceleration below 32.0 m/s2 unless gear ratio i + 1 provides acceleration less than aurban. In this case, two gears, i and i + 1 shall be used, including the gear i with acceleration exceeding 32.0 m/s2. In other cases, no other gear shall be used. The achieved acceleration awot test during the test shall be used for the calculation of the part power factor kP instead of awot ref.

(6) The revised Annex VI to MARPOL introduces, inter alia, stricter sulphur limits for marine fuel in SECAs (1.00% as of 1 July 2010 and 0.10% as of 1 January 2015) as well as in sea areas outside SECAs (3.5% as of 1 January 2012 and, in principle, 0.50% as of 1 January 2020). Most Member States are obliged to require ships to use fuel with maximum 1.00% sulphur content in SECAs as of 1 July 2010 based on their international commitments. In order to ensure coherence with international law as well as to secure proper enforcement of new globally established sulphur standards in the Union, the provisions of Directive 1999/32/EC should be aligned with the revised Annex VI to MARPOL. In order to ensure a minimum quality of fuel used by ships either for fuel- or technology-based compliance, marine fuel the sulphur content of which exceeds the general standard of 3.5 % by mass should not be allowed for use or placing on the market in the Union.

(6a) In view of the health benefits of lower sulphur emissions, the Commission should consider extending the 0.10% limit to other seas bordering on Member States’ land mass or extending that limit so as to cover a fixed distance from the EU coastline, and should draw up a firm timetable for its enforcement.

That limit should apply only to fuel to be used to power ships and not to fuel being transported by ship.

(8a) Enforcement of the 0.10% limit in the years immediately following 2015 should take account of uncertainty about the availability of low-sulphur fuel and differing views on the effectiveness and reliability of emission abatement methods. In particular the Commission and Member States should refrain from acting against firms which are making genuine efforts to comply with the rules. Member States should ensure, in accordance with Regulation 18 of MARPOL Annex VI, that the availability of fuel with a sulphur content conforming to the standards is guaranteed equally in terms of regions and to any persons wishing to use it.

(12a) The use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) virtually eliminates sulphur emissions. New rules for ships powered by liquefied natural gas are expected to enter into force in 2014 along with the revised International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS). Member States should pay particular attention to the need to ensure the safety and availability of LNG-powered ships while preventing the revised SOLAS Convention from creating needless obstacles to the use of that fuel.
