Recital 21
(21) Regulation (EU) 2017/352 of the European Parliament and the Council25 , , includes the provision of port reception facilities as a service in the scope of the Regulation. It provides rules on the transparency of the charging structures applied for the use of port services, consultation of port users and handling of complaint procedures. The Directive goes beyond the framework provided by the Regulation (EU) 2017/352 by providing more detailed requirements for the operation and design of the cost recovery systems for port reception facilities for waste from ships and the transparency of the cost structurerefore, the Directive should be aligned with the recently adopted Port Services Regulation (EU) 2017/352. _________________ 25 Regulation (EU) 2017/352 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 February 2017 establishing a framework for the provision of port services and common rules on the financial transparency of ports (OJ L 57, 3.3.2017,p.1).

Recital 26
(26) There is a need for further harmonisation of the regime of exemptions for ships in port operations such as pilotage and dredging vessels or in scheduled traffic with frequent and regular port calls, in particular clarification of the terms used and the conditions governing those exemptions. The REFIT Evaluation and the Impact Assessment have revealed that the lack of harmonisation of the conditions and application of exemptions has resulted in an unnecessary administrative burden for ships and ports.

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 develop 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 CouncilCommission should encourage the exchange of good practices on the development of bottom-up schemes which evaluate 'green ships' for the purpose of granting a reduced waste fee to those ships.
