			Proposal for a REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL on the accelerated phasing-in of double-hull or equivalent design requirements for single-hull oil tankers /* COM/2011/0566 final - 2011/0243 (COD) */
			
				
		
		
			
			   	EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1.           On 1 April 1987 the Commission
decided[1]
to instruct its staff that all acts should be codified after no more
than ten amendments, stressing that this is a minimum requirement and that
departments should endeavour to codify at even shorter intervals the texts for
which they are responsible, to ensure that their provisions are clear and
readily understandable.
2.           The codification of
Regulation (EC) No 417/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council
of 18 February 2002 on the accelerated phasing-in of double-hull or equivalent
design requirements for single-hull oil tankers and repealing Council
Regulation (EC) No 2978/94[2]
has been initiated by the Commission. The new Regulation was to have
superseded the various acts incorporated in it[3].
3.           In the meantime the Lisbon Treaty
entered into force. Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the
European Union allows the legislator to delegate to the Commission the power to
adopt non-legislative acts of general application to supplement or amend
certain non-essential elements of a legislative act. Legal acts adopted by the
Commission in this way are referred to in the terminology used by the new
Treaty as "delegated acts" (Article 290(3)).
4.           Regulation (EC) No 417/2002
contains a provision with regard to which such a delegation of power would be
opportune. It is therefore appropriate to transform the codification of Regulation (EC)
No 417/2002 into a recast in order to incorporate the necessary
amendments.
5.           The recast proposal was
drawn up on the basis of a preliminary consolidation, in all official
languages, of Regulation (EC) No 417/2002 and the instruments amending it,
carried out by the Publications Office of the European Union, by means of a
data-processing system. Where the Articles have been given new numbers, the
correlation between the old and the new numbers is shown in a table set out in
Annex II to the recast Regulation.

clarity.
ê 417/2002
recital 1 (adapted)
(2)              
Within the framework of the common transport
policy, measures Ö should Õ be taken to
enhance safety and prevent pollution in maritime transport.
ê 417/2002
recital 2 (adapted)
(3)              
The Ö Union Õ is seriously
concerned by the shipping accidents involving oil tankers and the associated
pollution of its coast-lines and harm to its fauna and flora and other marine
resources.
ê 417/2002
recital 3
(4)              
In its communication 'a common policy on safe
seas, the Commission underlined the request of the extraordinary Council on
Environment and Transport of 25 January 1993 to support the action in
the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) on the reduction of the safety
gap between new and existing ships by upgrading and/or phasing out existing
ships.
ê 417/2002
recital 4
(5)              
In its Resolution on a common policy on safe
seas[8], the European Parliament
welcomed the Commission communication and called in particular for action to be
taken to improve tanker safety standards. 
ê 417/2002
recital 5
(6)              
By its Resolution of 8 June 1993 on a common policy
on safe seas[9],
the Council fully supported the objectives of the Commission communication.
ê 417/2002
recital 6
(7)              
In its Resolution on the oil slick off the
French coast adopted on 20 January 2000, the European Parliament welcomed any
efforts by the Commission to bring forward the date by which oil tankers will
be obliged to have a double-hull construction.
ê 1726/2003
recital 9
(8)              
The European Parliament in its Resolution on the 'Prestige'
oil tanker disaster off the coast of Galicia of 21 November 2002 called for stronger measures that can enter into
force more rapidly, and stated that this new disaster has again underlined the
need for effective action at international and EU level in order significantly to improve maritime safety.
ê 417/2002
recital 7
(9)              
TheIMO has established, in the International
Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973 and the Protocol of
1978 related thereto (MARPOL 73/78), internationally agreed pollution
prevention rules affecting the design and operation of oil tankers. Member
States are Parties to MARPOL 73/78.
ê 417/2002
recital 8
(10)          
According to Article 3.3 of MARPOL 73/78, that
Convention does not apply to warships, naval auxiliary or other ships owned or
operated by a State and used only for government non-commercial services.
ê 417/2002
recital 9
(11)          
Comparison of tanker age and accident statistics
shows increasing accident rates for older ships. It has been internationally
agreed that the adoption of the 1992 amendments to MARPOL 73/78 requiring the
application of the double-hull or equivalent design standards to existing
single-hull oil tankers when they reach a certain age will provide those
tankers with a higher degree of protection against accidental oil pollution in
the event of collision or stranding.
ê 417/2002
recital 10 (adapted)
(12)          
It is in the Ö Union's Õ interest to
adopt measures to ensure that oil tankers entering into ports and offshore terminals
Ö or
anchoring in an area Õ under the
jurisdiction of Member States and oil tankers flying the flags of Member States
comply with Regulation Ö 20 Õ of Annex I of
MARPOL 73/78 as revised in Ö 2004 Õ by Resolution
MEPC Ö 117(52) adopted
by the IMO's Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) Õ in order to
reduce the risk of accidental oil pollution in European waters. 
ê 457/2007 recital
4 (adapted)
(13)          
Ö Resolution
MEPC 114(50), adopted on 4 December 2003, introduced a new Regulation 21 into
Annex I to MARPOL 73/78 on the prevention of oil pollution from oil tankers
when carrying heavy grade oil (HGO) which bans the carriage of HGO in
single-hull tankers. Õ Paragraphs 5,
6 and 7 of Regulation Ö 21 Õ provide for
the possibility of exemptions from the application of certain provisions of Ö that Õ Regulation.
The statement by the Italian Presidency of the European Council on behalf of
the European Union, recorded in the official report of the MEPC on its fiftieth
session (MEPC 50/3), expresses a political commitment to refrain from making
use of these exemptions.
ê 417/2002 recital
11 (adapted)
(14)          
Amendments to MARPOL 73/78 adopted by the IMO on
6 March 1992 entered into force on 6 July 1993. These measures impose
double-hull or equivalent design requirements for oil tankers delivered on or after
6 July 1996 aimed at preventing oil pollution in the event of collision or
stranding. Within these amendments, a phasing-out scheme for single-hull oil
tankers delivered before that date took effect from 6 July 1995
requiring tankers delivered before 1 June 1982 to comply with the double-hull
or equivalent design standards not later than 25 years and, in some cases, 30
years after the date of their delivery. Such existing single-hull oil tankers
would not be allowed to operate beyond Ö 2005 Õ and, in some
cases, 2012 unless they comply with the double-hull or equivalent design
requirements of Regulation Ö 19 Õ of Annex I of
MARPOL 73/78. For existing single-hull oil tankers delivered after 1 June 1982
or those delivered before 1 June 1982 and which have been converted to comply
with the requirements of MARPOL 73/78 on segregated ballast tanks and their
protective location, this deadline will be reached at the latest in 2026.
ê 417/2002
recital 12 (adapted)
(15)          
Important amendments to Regulation Ö 20 Õ of Annex I of
MARPOL 73/78 were adopted on 27 April 2001 by the 46th session
of the MEPC by Resolution MEPC 95(46) Ö and on 4
December 2003 by Resolution MEPC 111(50) Õ in which a new
accelerated phasing-out scheme for single-hull oil tankers was introduced. The
respective final dates by which tankers must comply with Regulation Ö 19 Õ of Annex I of
MARPOL 73/78 depend on the size and age of the ship. Oil tankers in that scheme
are therefore divided into three categories according to their tonnage,
construction and age. All these categories, including the lowest one, Ö Category Õ 3, are
important for trade Ö within
the Union Õ .
ê 417/2002
recital 13 (adapted)
(16)          
The final date by which a single-hull oil tanker
is to be phased out is the anniversary of the date of delivery of the ship,
according to a schedule starting in 2003 until Ö 2005 Õ for Category 1
oil tankers, and until Ö 2010 Õ for Category 2
and 3 oil tankers.
ê 417/2002
recital 15 (adapted)
(17)          
Regulation Ö 20 of
Annex I to MARPOL 73/78 Õ introduces a
requirement that Ö all
single-hull Õ oil tankers
may only continue to operate subject to compliance with a Condition Assessment
Scheme (CAS), adopted on 27 April 2001 by Resolution MEPC 94(46) Ö as
amended by Resolution MEPC 99(48) of 11 October 2002 and by Resolution MEPC
112(50) of 4 December 2003 Õ. The CAS
imposes an obligation that the flag State administration issues a Statement of
Compliance and is involved in the CAS survey procedures. Ö The CAS
is designed to detect structural weaknesses in ageing oil tankers and should
apply to all oil tankers above the age of 15 years. Õ
ê 417/2002 recital
16 (adapted)
(18)          
Regulation Ö 20.5 of
Annex I to MARPOL 73/78 Õ allows for an
exception for Category 2 and 3 oil tankers to operate, under certain
circumstances, beyond the time-limit of their phasing-out. Regulation Ö 20.8.2 of
the same Annex Õ gives the
right for Parties to MARPOL 73/78 to deny entry into the ports or offshore
terminals under their jurisdiction to oil tankers allowed to operate under this
exception. Member States have declared their intention to use this right.
Decision to have recourse to this right Ö should Õ be
communicated to the IMO.
ê 417/2002
recital 17
(19)          
It is important to ensure that the provisions in
this Regulation do not endanger the safety of crew or oil tankers in search of
a safe haven or a place of refuge.
ê 417/2002
recital 18
(20)          
In order to allow shipyards in Member States to
repair single-hull oil tankers, Member States may make exceptions to allow
entry into their ports of such vessels, provided they are not carrying any
cargo.

Resolutions MEPC 111(50) and 94(46), in order to align the references with
amendments to those Regulations and Resolutions adopted by theIMO, in so far as
such amendments do not broaden the scope of this Regulation, Since those measures are of general scope and are
designed to amend non-essential elements of Regulation (EC) No 417/2002, they
must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny
