Recital 22 a (new)
(22 a) The Union and the Member States have concluded multilateral agreements regarding maritime transport, or bilateral agreements with third countries.Those agreements include provisions related to the taxation of marine fuel and lubricants. Marine fuel, particularly for international voyages, has traditionally been provided tax-free. The need to pursue the objectives of the Directive requires that, without prejudice to those international agreements, energy products and electricity supplied for intra-EU waterborne navigation should be taxed. The exemption for the fuel used for international waterborne navigation is still needed in order to maintain the competitive position ofUnion companies.

Recital 23
(23) Fuel used for intra-EU 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 appwithout prejudice to international oblicgation 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 transportnavigation, 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 sustainable alternative fuels and electricity should be exempted from taxation for ten 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.
