Recital 2 a (new)
(2a) In line with the Agreement adopted in Paris at the 21st Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change of 12 December 2015 (the 'Paris Agreement'), all sectors of the economy should contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions. To this end, efforts to limit international maritime emissions through the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) are under way and should be encouraged, with the aim of establishing a clear IMO action plan for climate policy measures to tackle CO2 emissions from shipping at a global level. Therefore, the Commission and Member States should focus on ensuring the implementation of Regulation (EU)2015/757 of the European Parliament and of the Council1a and its alignment with an international data-collection system, which is a prerequisite for any market- based measure, efficiency standard or other measure, whether applied at Union level or globally. __________________ 1a Regulation (EU) 2015/757 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2015 on the monitoring, reporting and verification of carbon dioxide emissions from maritime transport, and amending Directive 2009/16/EC (OJ L 123, 19.5.2015, p. 55).

Article 10a – paragraph 6 – subparagraph 1
Member States shouldall adopt financial measures in favour of sectors or sub- sectors which are exposed to a genuine risk of carbon leakage due to significant indirect costs that are actually incurred from greenhouse gas emission costs passed on in electricity prices, taking into account any effects on the internal market. Such financial measures to compensate part of these costs shall be in accordance with state aid rules. The compensation shall ensure that costs incurred shall be fully reimbursed.

Member States mayshall allow simplified monitoring, reporting and verification measures for installations with average annual verified emissions between 2008 and 2010 below 50 000 tonnes a year, in accordance with Article 14; (c) it confirms that if any installation emits 250 000 tonnes or more of carbon dioxide equivalent, excluding emissions from biomass, in any one calendar year or the measures applying to that installation that will achieve an equivalent contribution to emission reductions are no longer in place, the installation will be reintroduced into the Community scheme; (d) it publishes the information referred to in points (a), (b) and (c) for public comment. Hospitals may also be excluded if they undertake equivalentcomparable and economically practicable measures.'
