•Enel welcomes the approach of the legislative initiative, aimed at strengthening the EU ETS, and the ambitious package of policies and measures to accelerate the just transition to a low-carbon economy. It is critical for the EC to adopt a holistic approach enhancing carbon pricing alongside complementary policies and measures.

Puertos del Estado shares the urgent need for the reduction of emissions from the maritime transport, and fully support the implementation of market based measured like the extension of the EU ETS to the maritime sector. That said, we would like to express our concern about the impact of this measure on maritime transit traffic (“transhipment”). On that sense, the following aspects need to be considered.

Please, find below a synthesis of Enel’s view on EU ETS revision proposal. For further details, please see the attached document. Enel welcomes the EU ETS Directive’s “Fit for 55” proposal of reform as it fits with the increased EU climate ambition and will help provide stable and predictable carbon price signals.

The following comments stick to the content of the inception document and are only intended to be helpful for the further development of the initiative. They do not compromise any final position on a future legislative proposal. Overall, the initiative is timely and the inception document well focused.

Maritime sector is a large and growing source of greenhouse gas emissions and related emissions are projected to increase significantly if mitigation measures are not put in place swiftly. Shipping emissions could increase between 50% and 250% by 2050 under a business-as-usual scenario, undermining the objectives of the Paris Agreement [Third IMO Greenhouse Gas Study 2014].
