Amendment 131 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 5 a (new)
Recital 5 a (new)
(5a) It should be noted that a threshold of 5000 gross tonnage (GT) may in practice have unwanted adverse effects, as it does not incentivise smaller ships to reduce their emissions and may lead to the replacement of a ship above the threshold by several smaller ones, resulting in a lack of level playing field, as well as a negative impact on CO2 emissions and the environment. The European Commission shall closely monitor such adverse effects and where appropriate make proposals to address them.
