| document | COM(2023)273  |
| date | June 1, 2023 |
Support Member States by building their capacity to detect pollution incidents, verify, collect evidence and effectively penalise identified offenders in a timely and harmonised manner.
Ensure that persons (natural & legal) responsible for illegal discharges from ships are subject to effective, proportionate & dissuasive penalties.
Ensure simplification and effective reporting on ship-source pollution incidents and follow-up activities.
1.4.3. Expected result(s) and impact
Specify the effects which the proposal/initiative should have on the beneficiaries/groups targeted.
This proposal is expected to improve the effectiveness of the penalties and lead to a level playing field by ensuring harmonised and proportionate penalties and levels of penalties that are high enough to discourage illegal discharge.
This proposal is expected to lead to an overall improvement in the effectiveness of verification of Member State authorities and thus increase the proportion of identified offenders, as well as simplify and improve the reporting on the implementation of the Directive.
1.4.4. Indicators of performance
Specify the indicators for monitoring progress and achievements.
The effectiveness of the proposed Directive, with respect to the specific objective no. 1, will be determined based on the number of infringements and the number of detections for oil, noxious liquid substances, packaged goods, sewage, garbage and scrubber residues discharged by ships.
The effectiveness of the proposed Directive, with respect to the specific objective no. 2, will be determined based on the number of verifications per Member State (verification level), the number of identified offenders as a result of verification (identified polluters), the number of notifications by whistle-blowers and the number of EMSA trainings and workshops.
The effectiveness of the proposed Directive, with respect to the specific objective no. 3, will be determined based on the levels of monetary fines imposed and the types of penalties imposed.
The effectiveness of the proposed Directive, with respect to the specific objective no. 4, will be determined based on the number of updates per Member State in the reporting tool, the number of ship discharges recorded in the reporting tool per Member State and the number of views/visits at the public website.
1.5. Grounds for the proposal/initiative
1.5.1. Requirement(s) to be met in the short or long term including a detailed timeline for roll-out of the implementation of the initiative
EMSA will be required to establish additional satellite monitoring services to Member State authorities because of the extension of the scope of the Directive and upgrade the CleanSeaNet service to better monitor and detect the pollutants. EMSA will be required to develop trainings and develop guidance documents, while regularly updating them. It will also develop an external reporting channel for whistle-blowers, to submit information on possible illegal discharges and enhance the Integrated Maritime Services. EMSA will also be required to develop and maintain a new reporting tool so that Member States report on each ship-source pollution incident, as well as develop a website to keep the public informed about ship-source pollution.
In total, 9 FTEs will be needed to support the provision of the additional satellite monitoring services and additional 3 FTEs to support the development of the Integrated Maritime Services. From those, 1 will be required in the next MFF.
1.5.2. Added value of Union involvement (it may result from different factors, e.g. coordination gains, legal certainty, greater effectiveness or complementarities). For the purposes of this point 'added value of Union involvement' is the value resulting from Union intervention which is additional to the value that would have been otherwise created by Member States alone.
Reasons for action at European level (ex-ante)
Diverging national approaches can hinder efficient cooperation of Member States and allow offenders to escape penalties. The higher vulnerability of some regions and diverging capacity of Member States to verify and prosecute cases of ship-source pollution makes EU action necessary, especially with accompanying measures of support by common EMSA digital tools. Given the international nature of maritime transport, there is a clear need to have a cross-border framework that would ensure equal treatment for ship operators regardless of where the pollution incident occurred.
Expected generated Union added value (ex-post)
EU action ensures a level playing field and facilitate national verification, and prosecution as well as cross-border enforcement leading to more dissuasive penalties. EU action will provide for clear added value on countering ship-source pollution which typically have transnational dimension compared to what Member States acting alone can achieve. Further clarification of the EU liability regime and improved satellite surveillance covering more types of pollutants thanks to the extended scope of the Directive in line with MARPOL is ensuring a more efficient and effective implementation of the obligations by the Member States.
1.5.3. Lessons learned from similar experiences in the past
The EMSA tools proved to be efficient and beneficial for Member States in the context of achieving the objectives of the Directive. The increased satellite surveillance has contributed to enhanced illegal discharge detection and indirectly to the prevention of ship-source pollution of the marine environment. However, following an evaluation of the Directive, its objectives, even though adequate, were not fully achieved and its scope is limited.
The implementation of CleanSeaNet service, a tool for satellite surveillance has been successful, however it should be further developed to cover the extended scope of the Directive.
The results of the ex-post evaluation are reflected in the impact assessment accompanying this initiative as summarised in Table 2.
1.5.4. Compatibility with the Multiannual Financial Framework and possible synergies with other appropriate instruments
The proposed revision is a key deliverable of the Communication from the Commission on a Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy, which sets out the EU vision for a more sustainable transport system of the future. The strategy announced that the Commission is planning to initiate a major review of existing legislation, including the ship-source pollution in 2022 (under Flagship 2 - Creating zero-emission airports and ports). This will improve air quality locally thereby contributing to improved health of nearby residents.
The proposed revision will create synergies with other pieces of EU regulatory framework, notably the Directive (EU) 2019/883 on port reception facilities, Directive on the protection of the environment through criminal law, the Directive 2009/21/EC on compliance with flag State requirements, Directive 2009/16/EC on port State control and Directive 2009/18/EC on accident investigation.
The proposal is compatible with the current Multiannual Financial Framework, although it will require reprogramming within Heading 1 as regards the annual contribution to EMSA (budgetary offsetting by a compensatory reduction of programmed spending under CEF Transport (02 03 01). The budget impact of the current proposal is already included in the budget for the Commission proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the European Maritime Safety Agency and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1406/2002.
The budget impact beyond the current MFF is an indicative overview, without prejudice to the future MFF Agreement.
1.5.5. Assessment of the different available financing options, including scope for redeployment
The budgetary impact of this initiative refers to the additional resources necessary for the establishment of additional satellite monitoring services to Member State authorities by an upgrade of the CleanSeaNet service, the provision of training and guidance, the development and maintenance of a new reporting tool, further developments of the Integrated Maritime Services as well as a new website for keeping the public informed on ship-source pollution, and the related data collection, monitoring and reporting tasks under the proposed Directive. These are new tasks for EMSA that will become permanent, while existing tasks will not decrease or be partly phased out.
The additional need of human resources cannot be met by redeployment, while the additional budgetary needs will be met through offsetting by existing programmes managed by DG MOVE under the current multiannual financial framework.
The increase in appropriations for EMSA will be offset by a compensatory reduction of programmed spending under CEF Transport (02 03 01). The budget impact of the current proposal is already included in the budget for the Commission proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the European Maritime Safety Agency and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1406/2002.
The budget impact beyond the current MFF is an indicative overview, without prejudice to the future MFF Agreement.

bodies governed by private law with a public service mission to the extent that they are provided with adequate financial guarantees;
bodies governed by the private law of a Member State that are entrusted with the implementation of a public-private partnership and that are provided with adequate financial guarantees;
bodies or persons entrusted with the implementation of specific actions in the CFSP pursuant to Title V of the TEU, and identified in the relevant basic act.
Comments
Management of the proposed Directive will be done overall by the Commission services assisted by the European Maritime Safety Agency as appropriate.
Member States will be required to transpose the provisions of the Directive by the respective deadline.
2. MANAGEMENT MEASURES
2.1. Monitoring and reporting rules
Specify frequency and conditions.
The Commission and/or EMSA will verify that feedback to CleanSeaNet alerts is being provided by the Member States in a timely and effective manner and that information on evidence collection and penalties is uploaded to the reporting tool regularly. An EU website will also be developed with core indicators on the implementation rate and the key non-confidential information updated regularly with data from the reporting tool to keep the public informed on the implementation and on pollution incidents.
EMSA, on behalf of the Commission, will carry out visits to Member States to verify operations on the ground. The respective visits reports will identify any shortcomings and areas for improvement. EMSA will also carry out a horizontal analysis and technical assistance, giving an indication of how the legislation is functioning and identifying gaps and what can be done to address them, and report to the Commission and Member States.
The Commission in an expert group will develop implementing acts and interpretative guidelines to ensure a harmonized implementation by the Member States.
2.2. Management and control system(s)
2.2.1. Justification of the management mode(s), the funding implementation mechanism(s), the payment modalities and the control strategy proposed
The Commission will be overall accountable for implementing the proposed Directive as well as for evaluating its efficiency and proposing revisions where necessary. The Commission will be assisted by EMSA as appropriate in providing the IT services and developing the IT tools necessary for the reporting, monitoring and verification provisions of the proposed Directive, as well as organising trainings. Member States will be required to carry out the transposition of the Directive to their national legislation by the deadline mentioned in the Directive. Member States will also be required to carry out enforcement, notably by applying administrative penalties in cases of non-compliance. Enforcement activites may be carried out as part of existing inspections, in particular during Port State Control.
2.2.2. Information concerning the risks identified and the internal control system(s) set up to mitigate them
While the Commission will be overall accountable for implementing the proposed Directive as well as for evaluating the implementation and compliance, the European Maritime Safety Agency will be responsible for the performance of its operation and for the implementation of its internal control framework. It will be required to develop IT tools and modules, as well as provide training to the Member State authorities, and the Member States will be required to carry out enforcement.
EMSA is best placed to carry out reporting and assessment of compliance tasks, as this will be technical work, requiring strong expertise in data management, as well as in-depth understanding of complex technical matters related to illegal discharges and ship-source pollution.
Member States are best placed to carry out the enforcement of the proposed Directive, notably in a harmonized way by information and experience exchange and by fulfillling their responsibilities as parties to MARPOL.
DG MOVE will apply the necessary controls in line with the supervision strategy adopted in 2017 on the DG's relations with decentralised agencies and JUs. Under the strategy, DG MOVE monitors performance indicators for the implementation of the budget, the audit recommendations and administrative matters. A report is provided by the Agency on a bi-annual basis. The controls performed on the supervision of the Agency as well as on the related financial and budgetary management are in accordance with DG MOVE’s Control Strategy, updated in 2022.
The additional resources put at the disposal of EMSA will be covered by EMSA’s internal control and risk management system that is aligned with the relevant international standards and includes specific controls to prevent conflict of interests and ensure the protection of whistle-blowers.
2.2.3. Estimation and justification of the cost-effectiveness of the controls (ratio of "control costs ÷ value of the related funds managed"), and assessment of the expected levels of risk of error (at payment & at closure)
Under the proposed Directive, additional financing will be provided to EMSA, which will be developing IT tools and modules, as well as providing training to the Member State authorities.
EMSA has full responsibility for the implementation of their budget, while DG MOVE is responsible for the regular payment of the contributions established by the Budgetary Authority. The expected level of risk of error at payment and at closure is similar to that attached to the budget subsidies provided to the Agency.
The additional tasks resulting from the proposed revision are not expected to generate specific additional controls. Therefore, the cost of control for DG MOVE (measured against the value of funds managed) is expected to remain stable.
2.3. Measures to prevent fraud and irregularities
Specify existing or envisaged prevention and protection measures, e.g. from the Anti-Fraud Strategy.
The proposed Directive regulates pollution prevention and hence no specific anti-fraud measures are included.
EMSA applies the anti-fraud principles of decentralised EU Agencies, in line with the Commission approach. In March 2021, the Agency adopted an updated Anti-Fraud Strategy, based on the methodology and guidance for anti-fraud strategy presented by OLAF as well as on the Anti-Fraud Strategy of DG MOVE. It provides a framework addressing the issues of prevention, detection and conditions for investigations of fraud at Agency level. EMSA continuously adapts and improves its policies and actions to promote the highest level of integrity of EMSA staff, support effective prevention and detection of fraud risk and establish the appropriate procedures to report and handle potential fraud cases and their outcome. Furthermore, EMSA adopted in 2015 its Conflict of Interest policy for the Management Board.
EMSA cooperates with the Commission services on matters relating to preventing fraud and irregularity. The Commission will ensure that this cooperation will continue and will be strengthened.
The proposed Directive contains clear and detailed rules on the legal enforcement to ensure that the obligations it contains are not circumvented by economic operators. The Commission will ensure that appropriate measures are in place to protect the financial interests of the Union by effective checks and, if irregularities, fraud or breach of obligations are detected, by their notification.
The Commission will also take appropriate measures to protect the confidentiality of information obtained in implementation of this Directive and published.
