Recital 14 a (new)
(14 a) GHG emissions from the maritime sector have grown and are expected to grow further (IMO). This sector cannot stay behind and needs to take considerable action to reach the EU’s GHG emission reduction goals and climate neutrality by 2050 as set by the Climate Law. In doing so, it is important that all GHG emissions should be taken into account.

(17) In the European Green Deal, the Commission stated its intention to take additional measures to address greenhouse gas emissions from the maritime transport sector through a basket of measures to enable the Union to reach its emissions reduction targets. In this context, Directive 2003/87/EC should be amended to include the maritime transport sector in the EU ETS in order to ensure this sector contributes to the increased climate objectives of the Union as well as to the objectives of the Paris Agreement, which requires developed countries to take the lead by undertaking economy-wide emission reduction targets, while developing countries are encouraged to move over time towards economy-wide emission reduction or limitation targets.49 Considering that emissions from international aviation outside Europe should be capped from January 2021 by global market-based action while there is no action in place that caps or prices maritime transport emissions, it is appropriate that the EU ETS covers a shareall of the emissions from voyages between a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State and port under the jurisdiction of a third country, with the third country being able to decide on appropriate action in respect of the other share of emissions. The extension of the EU ETS to the maritime transport sector should thus include halfl of the emissions from ships performing voyages arriving at a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State from a port outside the jurisdiction of a Member State, hand alfl of the emissions from ships performing voyages departing from a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State and arriving at a port outside the jurisdiction of a Member State, emissions from ships performing voyages arriving at a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State from a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State, and emissions at berth in a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State. This approach has been noted as a practical way to solve the issue of Common but Differentiated Responsibilities and Capabilities, which has been a longstanding challenge in the UNFCCC context. The coverage of a share of the emissions from both incoming and outgoing voyages between the Union and third countries ensures the effectiveness of the EU ETS, notably by increasing the environmental impact of the measure compared to a geographical scope limited to voyages within the EU, while limiting the risk of evasive port calls and the risk of delocalisation of transhipment activities outside the Unionraising pressure at IMO level to undertake action for a fitting and climate-effective global measure. The European institutions should facilitate and strengthen international acceptance for such a measure which is in line with the international target of staying below the 1.5°C threshold (Paris Agreement). To ensure a smooth inclusion of the sector in the EU ETS, the surrendering of allowances by shipping companies should be gradually increased with respect to verified emissions reported for the period 2023 to 20254. To protect the environmental integrity of the system, to the extent that fewer allowances are surrendered in respect of verified emissions for maritime transport during those years, once the difference between verified emissions and allowances surrendered has been established each year, a corresponding a number of allowances should be cancelled. As from 20265, shipping companies should surrender the number of allowances corresponding to all of their verified emissions reported in the preceding year. __________________ 49 Paris Agreement, Article 4(4).

Recital 18
(18) The provisions of Directive 2003/87/EC as regards maritime transport activities should be kept under review in light of future international developments and efforts undertaken to achieve the objectives of the Paris Agreement, including the second global stocktake in 2028, and subsequent global stocktakes every five years thereafter, intended to inform successive nationally determined contributions. In particular, the Commission should report any time before the second global stocktake in 2028 - and therefore no later than by 30 September 2028 - to the European Parliament and to the Council on progress in the IMO negotiations concerning a global market- based measure. In its report, the Commission should analyse the International Maritime Organization instruments and, assess, as relevant, how to implement those instruments in Union law through a revision of Directive 2003/87/EC. In its report, the Commission should include proposals as appropriate. Furthermore, the European Commission should advocate rigorously on the international level for the acceptance of an ambitious and climate effective international measure.

(19) The Commission should review the functioning of Directive 2003/87/EC in relation to maritime transport activities in the light of experience of its application, including in relation to possible evasive practices, and should then propose measures to ensure its effectiveness. The Commission should set up a monitoring scheme specifically assessing potential evasive practices and draft a list of potential business activities that do not fall under significant business activities performed at neighbouring EU port calls.

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 IMO. In line with the polluter pays principle, the shipping company 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. Compliance of the ship, which is a shared responsibility between the ship owner and the operator, needs to be monitored and enforced. The Commission is called upon to assess potential compliance loopholes, propose measures and formally review this Directive relating to this topic in 2027 if significant issues of compliance have been found.

(33) The scope of the Innovation Fund referred to in Article 10a(8) of Directive 2003/87/EC should be extended to support innovation in low-carbon technologies and processes that concern the consumption of fuels in the sectors of buildings and road transport. In addition, the Innovation Fund should serve to support investments to accelerate the decarboniseation of the maritime transport sector towards a climate neutral pathway, including investments in R&D for sustainable zero- emission alternative fuels, such as green hydrogen and green ammonia that are produced from renewables, as well as zero-emission propulsion technologies like wind technologies or other zero-emission technologies, including refuelling and recharging infrastructure for such zero- emission alternatives in ports. Considering that revenues generated from penalties raised in Regulation xxxx/xxxx(EU) [FuelEU Maritime]52 are allocated to the Innovation Fund as external assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(5) of the Financial Regulation, the Commission should ensure that due consideration is given to support for innovative projects aimed at accelerating the development and deployment of sustainable renewable and low carbzero-emission fuels in the maritime sector, as specified in Article 21(1) of Regulation xxxx/xxxx(EU) [FuelEU Maritime]. To ensure sufficient funding is available for innovation within this extended scope, the Innovation Fund should be supplemented with 50 million allowances, stemming partly from the allowances that could otherwise be auctioned, and partly from the allowances that could otherwise be allocated for free, in accordance with the current proportion of funding provided from each source to the Innovation Fund. __________________ 52[add ref to the FuelEU Maritime Regulation].

Recital 44
(44) In order to establish the necessary implementation framework and to provide a reasonable timeframe for reaching the 2030 target, emissions trading in the two new sectors should start in 2025. During the first year, the regulated entities should be required to hold a greenhouse gas emissions permit and to report their emissions for the years 2024 and 2025. The issuance of allowances and compliance obligations for these entities should be applicable as from 2026 for use by commercial actors and 2028 for use by non-commercial households. This sequencing will allow starting emissions trading in the sectors in an orderly and efficient manner as well as ensuring a just transition. It would also allow the EU funding and Member State measures to be in place to ensure a socially fair introduction of the EU emissions trading into the two sectors so as to mitigate the impact of the carbon price on vulnerable households and transport users.

Recital 44 a (new)
(44 a) The transition towards a sustainable and smart transport sector should be designed socially, in which solidarity within and between member states is key and those affected the most by transport poverty are not left behind. This is a responsibility of the European Union as well as every Member State to provide effective support measures and invest in structural solutions to provide transport alternatives.

Recital 44 b (new)
Recital 44 b (new)
(44 b) The transport modal shift targets as put forward in the Green Deal & Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy require a significant behavioural change and mental shift in both the private sector as well as with households. For this, it is important that more environmentally friendly transport modes are reliable and a level playing field is created as compared to the road option. Public transport should form the mobility backbone and needs to be reliable, safe, accessible, inclusive and affordable.

Recital 44 c (new)
Recital 44 c (new)
(44 c) Considering the link with the other Fit for 55 files (AFIR & CO2 standards for new cars and vans) which regulate the deployment of EV infrastructure as well as indirectly stimulate the creation of a second hand EV car market which is needed to become more socially accessible, the inclusion of the transport sector in ETS might be more socially designed by phasing-in first the commercial sector (2026), followed by a later phase-in of the households (2028). However, this might impose technical and administrative challenges. Therefore, the Commission needs to define how to distinguish between commercial and non- commercial end-use of fuels, with the aim of including as many commercial actors as possible without leading to a price impact on vulnerable households and in an administratively feasible way avoiding loopholes. In addition, the Commission is required to monitor for such potential loopholes and suggest measures to address these.
Amendment 125 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 44 d (new)
Recital 44 d (new)
(44 d) The ETS road pricing might be felt extra hard for those who are car dependent and have no transport alternatives. It is important to socially correct and temporary price corridors (between which the EU ETS 2 price can vary before corrective measures are automatically taken) can be introduced as a corrective mechanism for households until 2030. These price corridors can be adjusted overtime, where the design would be to correct more in the early years and decrease the correction as the deployment of alternative public transport and EV infrastructure (as well as the development of the second-hand market) is increased.

Recital 44 e (new)
(44 e) Sudden price hikes in fossil fuels can lead to negative social impacts on households. A stable and gradual price increase of fossil fuels allows to anticipate, plan and invest in structural solutions. To socially correct ETS road, a counterbalancing mechanism for global oil and gas market price fluctuations can be introduced.
Amendment 127 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 44 f (new)
Recital 44 f (new)
(44 f) Fuel suppliers should be encouraged to invest in more sustainable alternatives and not merely transfer all costs to end-users. To this extend and to design a more social ETS for the road sector, a corrective measure is put forward that complies fuel suppliers to submit cost breakdown data to the European Commission. The difference between the price that is passed-on to the end-consumer for the allowances and the maximum proportion of costs that can be passed-on should be directly fed into the Social Climate Fund. The Commission shall ensure compliance with this principle.

Recital 48
(48) The total quantity of allowances for the new emissions trading should follow a linear trajectory to reach the 2030 emissions reduction target, taking into account the cost-efficient contribution of buildings and road transport of 43 % emission reductions by 2030 compared to 2005. The total quantity of allowances should be established for the first time in 20265, to follow a trajectory starting in 2024 from the value of the 2024 emissions limits (1 109 304 000 CO2t), calculated in accordance with Article 4(2) of Regulation (EU) 2018/842 of the European Parliament and of the Council59 on the basis of the reference emissions for these sectors for the period from 2016 to 2018. The Commission should determine what share of that total quantity of allowances is to be used by commercial actors and base the cap from 2025 to 2027 only on emissions by commercial actors. Accordingly, the linear reduction factor should be set at 5,15 %. From 2028, the total quantity of allowances should be set on the basis of the average reported emissions for both commercial and non-commercial end use for the years 2024, 2025 and 2026, and should decrease by the same absolute annual reduction as set from 2024, which corresponds to a 5,43 % linear reduction factor compared to the comparable 2025 value of the above defined trajectory. If those emissions are significantly higher than this trajectory value and if this divergence is not due to small-scale differences in emission measurement methodologies, the linear reduction factor should be adjusted to reach the required emissions reduction in 2030. __________________ 59Regulation (EU) 2018/842 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 on binding annual greenhouse gas emission reductions by Member States from 2021 to 2030 contributing to climate action to meet commitments under the Paris Agreement and amending Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 (OJ L 156, 19.6.2018, p. 26).

(67 a) The Commission should carry out a new in-depth impact assessment covering all Fit for 55 legislations that apply to the maritime sector (cumulative). This overarching assessment should cover the economic impact, environmental impact and social impact. It needs to be undertaken early on during implementation of the different legislations and expanded with a periodical monitoring scheme. In particular, potential compliance or enforcement loopholes should be analysed and monitored. However, it may not delay the implementation of the different files.

However, any injection of allowances from the MSR through this mechanism should be deducted from the auctioning volumes of the following years. The measure could be introduced when non- commercial end-users (households) are introduced to the road ETS.
