Amendment 64 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4
Recital 4
(4) In order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from shipping at Union level the best possible option remains setting up a system for monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of only CO2 emissions at this stage, based on the fuel consumption of ships as a first step of a staged approach for the inclusion of maritime transport emissions in the Union's greenhouse gas reduction commitment.
Amendment 68 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6
Recital 6
(6) The results of the stakeholder consultation and discussions with international partners indicate that a staged approach for the inclusion of maritime transport emissions in the Union's greenhouse gas reduction commitment should be applied with the implementation of a robust MRV system for only CO2 emissions at this stage from maritime transport as a first step and the pricing of these emissions at a later stage. This approach facilitates making significant progress at international level on the agreement of greenhouse gas emission reduction targets and further measures to achieve these reductions at minimum cost.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 8
Recital 8
(8) All intra-Union voyages, all incoming voyages from the last non-Union port to the first Union port of call and all outgoing voyages from a Union port to the next non- Union port of call should be considered relevant for purposes of monitoring. Only CO2 emissions in Union ports including when ships are at berth or move within a port, should be covered as well, in particular as specific measures for their reduction or avoidance are available. These rules should be applied in a non- discriminatory manner to all ships regardless of their flag.
Amendment 77 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13
Recital 13
(13) To further reduce the administrative effort for ship owners and operators, the monitoring rules should focus only on CO2 at this stage as it is the by far most relevant greenhouse gas emitted by maritime transport which contributes to up to 98% of the total greenhouse gas emissions of this sector.

Recital 23
Recital 23
(23) Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2013 on a mechanism for monitoring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions and for reporting other information at national and Union level relevant to climate change22 should be amended to establish requirements for the monitoring and reporting of only CO2 emissions from maritime transport by Member States pursuant to this Regulation. __________________ 22 OJ L 165,18.06.2013, p. 13-40. OJ L 165,18.06.2013, p. 13-40.

Recital 25
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 only CO2 emissions at this stage 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 89 #

Recital 27
Recital 27
(27) The objective of the proposed action, namely to monitor, report and verify only CO2 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.
Amendment 91 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 1
Article 1
This Regulation lays down rules for the accurate monitoring, reporting and verification of only carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions andt this stage as it is by far the most relevant greenhouse gas emitted by maritime transport, and of other climate relevant information from ships arriving at, within or departing from ports under the jurisdiction of a Member State in order to promote the reduction of CO2 emissions from maritime transport in a cost effective manner.
