CHAPTER II AVIATION AND MARITIME TRANSPORT

Article 3a

Articles 3b to 3g shall apply to the allocation and issue of allowances in respect of the aviation activities listed in Annex I. Articles 3ga to 3gg shall apply in respect of the maritime transport activities listed in Annex I.

Article 3b

By 2 August 2009, the Commission shall, in accordance with the ►M9  examination procedure referred to in Article 22a(2) ◄ , develop guidelines on the detailed interpretation of the aviation activities listed in Annex I.

Article 3g

The administering Member State shall ensure that each aircraft operator submits to the competent authority in that Member State a monitoring plan setting out measures to monitor and report emissions and that such plans are approved by the competent authority in accordance with the implementing acts referred to in Article 14.

Article 3gb

Shipping companies shall be liable to surrender allowances according to the following schedule:

Where fewer allowances are surrendered compared to the verified emissions from maritime transport for the years 2024 and 2025, once the difference between verified emissions and allowances surrendered has been established in respect of each year, an amount of allowances corresponding to that difference shall be cancelled rather than auctioned pursuant to Article 10.

Article 3gc

Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure that when the ultimate responsibility for the purchase of the fuel, or the operation of the ship, or both, is assumed by an entity other than the shipping company pursuant to a contractual arrangement, the shipping company is entitled to reimbursement from that entity for the costs arising from the surrender of allowances.

‘Operation of the ship’ for the purposes of this Article means determining the cargo carried or the route and the speed of the ship. The shipping company shall remain the entity responsible for surrendering allowances as required under Articles 3gb and 12 and for overall compliance with the provisions of national law transposing this Directive. Member States shall ensure that shipping companies under their responsibility comply with the obligations to surrender allowances under Articles 3gb and 12, notwithstanding the entitlement of such shipping companies to be reimbursed by the commercial operators for the costs arising from the surrender.

Article 3gd

In respect of emissions from maritime transport activities listed in Annex I to this Directive, the administering authority in respect of a shipping company shall ensure that a shipping company under its responsibility monitors and reports the relevant parameters during a reporting period, and submits to it aggregated emissions data at company level in accordance with Chapter II of Regulation (EU) 2015/757.

Article 3ge

The administering authority in respect of a shipping company shall ensure that the reporting of aggregated emissions data at shipping company level submitted by a shipping company pursuant to Article 3gd of this Directive is verified in accordance with the verification and accreditation rules set out in Chapter III of Regulation (EU) 2015/757.
