Accounting of greenhouse gas emissions of transport services

Wording as published by the EP, in English.

1. Amendment 107Rejected

   Article 18 – paragraph 1 a (new)

   Tabled by Silvia Modig · The Left

   Added: By [24 months from the date of entry into force of this Regulation], the Commission shall present a report to the European Parliament and the Council assessing the possibility to update the methodology used by this Regulation in order to calculate, report and verify the climate impact of non-CO2 effects of aviation in line with the requirements of Directive 2003/87/EC. The report may, where appropriate, be accompanied by a legislative proposal to amend this Regulation.

2. Amendment 108Rejected

   Recital 5 a (new)

   Tabled by Marian-Jean Marinescu · PPE

   Added: (5 a) Greenhouse gas emissions of vehicle manufacturing, maintenance and disposal contribute significantly to the total life cycle emissions of a vehicle. Data for vehicles construction is not easily available from vehicle manufacturers, in particular from those located outside the Union. Nonetheless, this characteristic is relevant since it enables the entire spectrum of emissions related to a transport activity to be accounted for while addressing carbon leakage with regard to the manufacturing of vehicles. In order to enable companies, customers and individuals to compare different modes of transport according to their respective greenhouse gas emissions and to avoid creating competitive disadvantages for vehicles and materials produced in Europe, the Commission should develop a methodology to include greenhouse gas emissions of vehicle construction, maintenance and disposal by 2028. The Commission should, in cooperation with Member States, request the European Committee for Standardisation to revise the EN ISO standard 14083:2023 accordingly, once the methodology is developed.

3. Amendment 109Rejected

   Recital 5 b (new)

   Tabled by Marian-Jean Marinescu · PPE

   Added: (5 b) Counting emissions from the construction and dismantling of energy production infrastructure is necessary to ensure a fair comparison between all available energy carriers used for transport services.

4. Amendment 121Rejected

   Article 4 – paragraph 1 c (new)

   Tabled by Marian-Jean Marinescu · PPE

   Added: 1 c. By ... [24 months from the date of entry into force of this Regulation] the Commission shall adopt a delegated act in accordance with Article 16 to supplement this Regulation by establishing the methodology referred to in paragraph 1b of this Article. That methodology shall be based on the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodologies derived from the methodologies for life-cycle emissions which are developed in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2019/631, Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 and Regulation (EU) 2019/1242. For the maritime, aviation and railway sector, the latest international standards may be taken into account, where appropriate.
