Recital 6 a (new)
(6 a) It is unfortunate that to date the Commission has failed to produce a comprehensive overall impact assessment for the entire "fit for 55" package, elaborating on its cumulative and combined effects. This is problematic since the overall impact of the package on social costs and their distribution, competitiveness, jobs, carbon and business leakage remains unclear. The absence of this overall assessment equally impedes a clear view of synergies and interdependencies between the various proposals of the "fit for 55" package. Moreover, the "fit for 55" package should also be aligned with more recent climate proposals.

Recital 14 a (new)
(14 a) Maritime transport is not only an important sector for the European economy but it is also essential for European connectivity. The sector operates in an international environment and requires a global level playing field to remain competitive. Therefore, without prejudice to European measures, a global market-based measure remains the most effective option for this sector and the Union should continue its efforts to find a proper solution at international level.

Recital 20
Recital 20
(20) The person or organisation responsible for the compliance with the EU ETS should be the shipping company, defined as the shipowner or any other organisation or person, such as the manager or the bareboat charterer, that has assumed the responsibility for the operation of the ship from the shipowner and that, on assuming such responsibility, has agreed to take over all the duties and responsibilities imposed by the International Management Code for the Safe Operation of Ships and for Pollution Prevention. This definition is based on the definition of ‘company’ in Article 3, point (d) of Regulation (EU) 2015/757, and in line with the global data collection system established in 2016 by the IMOregistered shipowner. In line with the polluter pays principle, the shipping companyregistered shipowner could, by means of a contractual arrangement, hold the entity that is directly responsible for the decisions affecting the CO2 emissions of the ship accountable for the compliance costs under this Directive. This entity would normally be the entity that is responsible for the choice of fuel, route and speed of the ship.

Article 16 – paragraph 11a
11a. In the case of a shipping companyregistered shipowner that has failed to comply with the surrender requirements for two or more consecutive reporting periods and where other enforcement measures have failed to ensure compliance, the competent authority of the Member State of the port of entry may, after giving the opportunity to the shipping companyregistered shipowner concerned to submit its observations, issue an expulsion order which shall be notified to the Commission, the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA), the other Member States and the flag State concerned. As a result of the issuing of such an expulsion order, every Member State, with the exception of the Member State whose flag the ship is flying, shall refuse entry of the ships under the responsibility of the shipping companyregistered shipowner concerned into any of its ports until the companyowner fulfils its surrender obligations in accordance with Article 12. Where the ship flies the flag of a Member State, the Member State concerned shall, after giving the opportunity to the companyowner concerned to submit its observations, order the ship to be detained until the shipping company fulfils its obligations. This paragraph shall be without prejudice to international maritime rules applicable in the case of ships in distress.;
