Amendments (3)
Amendment 70 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 11
Recital 11
(11) Complying with the low fuel sulphur limits, particularly in SECAs, can result in a significant increase in the price of marine fuels, at least in the short term, and can have a negative effect for the competitiveness of short sea shipping in comparison with other transport modes as well as for the competitiveness of the industries in the countries bordering SECAs. Suitable solutions are necessary in order to reduce compliance costs for the affected industries, such as allowing for alternative, more cost-effective methods of compliance than fuel-based compliance and providing support, where necessary. The Commission will, based inter alia on reports from Member States, closely monitor the impacts of the shipping sector's compliance with the new fuel quality standards, particularly with respect to possible modal backshift from sea to land based transport. and propose compensatory measures.
