Whereas
1
The Paris Agreement, adopted in December 2015 under the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change UNFCCC entered into force in November 2016 the
Paris Agreement4. Its Parties have agreed to hold the increase in the global average
temperature well below 2 C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the
temperature increase to 1,5 C above pre-industrial levels. This has been reinforced with
the adoption of the Glasgow Climate Pact in November 2021, in which the Conference
of the Parties recognises that the impacts of climate change will be much lower at the
temperature increase of 1,5 ºC, compared with 2 ºC, and resolve to pursue efforts to limit
the temperature increase to 1,5 ºC. 1a
The urgency of the need to keep the Paris Agreement goal of 1,5 C alive has become
more significant following the findings of the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report, that global
warming can only be limited to 1.5 C, if strong and sustained reductions in global
greenhouse gas GHG emissions within this decade are immediately undertaken.

Tackling climate and environmental-related challenges and reaching the objectives of the
Paris Agreement are at the core of the Communication on The European Green Deal,
adopted by the Commission on 11 December 20195. 4

The European Green Deal combines a comprehensive set of mutually reinforcing measures
and initiatives aimed at achieving climate neutrality in the EU by 2050, and sets out a new
growth strategy that aims to transform the Union into a fair and prosperous society, with a
modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy, where economic growth is
decoupled from resource use. It also aims to protect, conserve and enhance the Unions
natural capital, and protect the health and well-being of citizens from environment-related
risks and impacts. This transition affects workers from various sectors differently. At the
same time, that transition has gender equality aspects as well as has a particular impact on
some disadvantaged and vulnerable groups, such as older people, persons with disabilities,
persons with a minority racial or ethnic background and low and lower-middle income
individuals and households. It also imposes greater challenges on certain regions, in
particular structurally disadvantaged and peripheral regions, as well as islands. It must
therefore be ensured that the transition is just and inclusive, leaving no one behind. 4
The necessity and value of delivering on the European Green Deal have only grown in
light of the very severe effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the health, living and
working conditions and well-being of the Unions citizens, which have shown that our
society and our economy need to improve their resilience to external shocks and act early
to prevent or mitigate them in a manner that is just and results in no one being left
behind, including those at risk of energy poverty. European citizens continue to express
strong views that this applies in particular to climate change . 5
The Union committed to reduce the Unions economy-wide net greenhouse gas emissions
by at least 55 by 2030 below 1990 levels in the updated nationally determined
contribution submitted to the UNFCCC Secretariat on 17 December 20206. 6

In Regulation EU 20211119 of the European Parliament and of the Council7 the Union
has enshrined in legislation the target of economy-wide climate neutrality by 2050, at the
latest, and the aim to achieve negative emissions thereafter. That Regulation also
establishes a binding Union domestic reduction commitment of net greenhouse gas
emissions emissions after deduction of removals of at least 55 below 1990 levels by
2030. That Regulation also establishes that the Commission should endeavour to align
all future legislative and budgetary proposals with the objectives and targets set out in
that Regulation and, in any case of non-alignment, provide the reasons as part of the
impact assessment accompanying those proposals. 7
All sectors of the economy need to contribute to achieving those emission reductions. Directive 200387EC is therefore being amended to include the maritime transport
sector in the EU ETS in order to ensure that that sector contributes to the increased
climate objectives of the Union as well as to the objectives of the Paris Agreement.
It is
therefore also necessary to amend Regulation EU 2015757 to take into account the
inclusion of the maritime transport sector in the EU ETS. recital 7 and ex. recital 67

Regulation EU 20211119 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 June 2021 establishing the
framework for achieving climate neutrality and amending Regulations EC No 4012009 and EU
20181999 European Climate Law OJ L 243, 9.7.2021, p. 1. 4
8
Furthermore, to take into account the increased climate objectives of the Union as well
as the objectives of the Paris Agreement, the scope of Regulation EU 2015757 should
be amended. A robust monitoring, reporting and verification system is a prerequisite for
any market-based measure, efficiency standard or other measure, whether applied at
Union level or globally. While CO2 emissions represent the large majority of shipping
emissions, methane and nitrous oxide emissions represent a relevant share of shipping
emissions. The inclusion of methane and nitrous oxide emissions in Regulation EU
2015757 would be beneficial for environmental integrity and incentivising good
practices, and should be implemented as from 2024. General cargo ships below 5 000
gross tonnage but not below 400 gross tonnage represent a significant share of
emissions of all general cargo ships. To increase the environmental effectiveness of the
MRV system, ensure a level-playing field and reduce the risk of circumvention, general
cargo ships below 5 000 gross tonnage but not below 400 gross tonnage should be
included in Regulation EU 2015757 as from 2025. Offshore ships emit a relevant
share of emissions. Therefore, Regulation EU 2015757 should also apply to offshore
ships above 400 gross tonnage as from 2025. The Commission should assess before 31
December 2024 whether additional ship types below 5 000 gross tonnage but not below
400 gross tonnage should be included in that Regulation. 9
Regulation EU 2015757 should be amended to oblige companies to report aggregated
emissions data at company level and to submit for approval their verified monitoring plans
to the responsible administering authority and submit aggregated emissions data at
company level to the responsible administering authority. When performing the
verifications at company level, the verifier should not verify the emissions report at ship
level and the reports referred to in Article 112 of that Regulation, as those reports at
ship level would have been already verified. To ensure coherence in administration and
enforcement, the entity responsible for compliance with Regulation EU 2015757
should be the same as the entity responsible for compliance with Directive 200387EC. ex. recital 67

10
In order to ensure the effective functioning of the EU ETS at administrative level and to
take into account the inclusion of methane and nitrous oxide emissions in the scope of
Regulation EU 2015757, as well as the emissions from offshore ships, the power to
adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European
Union should be delegated to the Commission in respect of the monitoring methods and
rules and the reporting rules for emissions covered by Regulation EU 2015757, as well
as any other relevant information set out in that Regulation, the rules for the approval of
monitoring plans and changes thereof by administering authorities, the rules for the
monitoring, reporting and submission of aggregated emissions data at company level
and the rules for verification of aggregated emissions data at company level and for the
issuance of verification reports in respect of aggregated emissions data at company level. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations
during its preparatory work, including at expert level, and that those consultations be
conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement
of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making8. In particular, to ensure equal participation in
the preparation of delegated acts, the European Parliament and the Council receive all
documents at the same time as Member States experts, and their experts systematically
have access to meetings of Commission expert groups dealing with the preparation of
delegated acts. ex. recital 60
11
Since the objectives of this Regulation, namely to provide for monitoring, reporting and
verification rules that are necessary for an extension of the EU ETS to maritime
transport activities and to provide for the monitoring, reporting and verification of
emissions of additional greenhouse gases and ship types, cannot be sufficiently achieved
by the Member States but can rather, by reason of its scale and effects, be better
achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the
principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union.
In
accordance with the principle of proportionality as set out in that Article, this Regulation
does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives. 8

Regulation EU 2015757 should therefore be amended accordingly, ex. recital 68
