Nužno je proširiti postojeću definiciju „pogonskog motora” kako bi obuhvatila i inovativna rješenja pogona.
Obrazloženje
It is necessary to introduce changes to the definition of 'propulsion engines' resulting from the introduction of new hybrid systems and other systems which might be brought to market in the future.

	(20a) Što se tiče motora prilagođenih za upotrebu u pomorstvu, kod kojih je prvotni motor već homologiran u skladu s Direktivom 97/68/EZ Europskog parlamenta i Vijeća od 16. prosinca 1997. o usklađivanju zakonodavstava država članica u odnosu na mjere protiv emisije plinovitih i krutih onečišćujućih tvari iz motora s unutarnjim izgaranjem koji se ugrađuju u izvancestovne pokretne strojeve1  ili s Direktivom 2005/55/EZ Europskog parlamenta i Vijeća od 28. rujna 2005. o usklađivanju zakonodavstva država članica u odnosu na mjere koje treba poduzeti protiv emisije plinovitih i krutih onečišćujućih tvari iz motora s kompresijskim paljenjem, za primjenu u vozilima i emisije plinovitih onečišćujućih tvari iz motora s vanjskim izvorom paljenja koji kao gorivo koriste prirodni plin ili ukapljeni naftni plin za primjenu u vozilima, proizvođači bi se trebali moći osloniti na dokaz o sukladnosti koji je izdao prvotni proizvođač motora, kada to prilagođavanje ne mijenja karakteristike ispušnih plinova. U skladu s tim, definicija proizvođača utvrđena ovom Direktivom trebala bi se prilagoditi kako bi pojasnila ono što je obuhvaćeno djelatnošću „proizvodnje”.

Obrazloženje
To be read in conjunction with the MH AM to Article 3, paragraph 1 point 13. Manufacturers who adapt engines for marine use, colloquially 'marinisers', have previously faced some legal uncertainty on engine certification. Adapting the definition of manufacturer in this Directive ensures that the current ambiguity faced by marinisers who do not change the emissions characteristics of the engine, can now clearly rely on the use of the original engine manufacturer's proof of conformity.

Tekst koji je predložila Komisija	Izmjena
(21) Mogućnosti za daljnje smanjenje graničnih vrijednosti emisije ispušnih plinova motora rekreacijskih plovila ocijenjene su u Izvještaju o mogućnostima daljnjeg poboljšanja ekoloških karakteristika motora rekreacijskih plovila, podnesenom u skladu s člankom 2. Direktive 2003/44/EZ o izmjeni Direktive 94/25/EZ u vezi s rekreacijskim plovilima. U tom je izvješću zaključeno da je primjereno postaviti strože granične vrijednosti od onih predviđenih Direktivom 2003/44/EZ. Te granične vrijednosti trebale bi biti utvrđene na razini koja odražava tehnički razvitak čišćih tehnologija brodskih motora te omogućava razvoj prema usklađivanju graničnih vrijednosti emisija ispušnih plinova diljem svijeta. S druge strane, trebalo bi podignuti granične vrijednosti ugljikova monoksida (CO) da se omogući značajno smanjenje ostalih zagađivača zraka i istovremeno osigurati da troškovi sukladnosti ostanu razmjerni.

Komisija bi trebala olakšati razmjenu najboljih primjera iz prakse među državama članicama u vezi s primjenom članka 5. ove Direktive na način da uspostavi odgovarajući sustav za takvu razmjenu.
Obrazloženje
The rapporteur takes the view that an exchange of views on best practices among Member States on the application of Article 5 would help to avoid disproportionate measures and should be promoted by the Commission.
Amandman  7 Prijedlog Direktive Uvodna izjava 26.a (nova)
Tekst koji je predložila Komisija	Izmjena
	(26a) Ne postoji usklađenost niti ravnopravna situacija u pogledu dozvola za plovila ili tehničkih pregleda, a utaja poreza je još uvijek moguća korištenjem dizela za poljoprivrednike. Stoga bi Komisija trebala razmotriti mogućnost podnošenja prijedloga za usklađivanje dozvola za plovila na razini Unije, za poticanje redovitih tehničkih pregleda i za sprječavanje utaje poreza odvraćanjem od korištenja dizela za poljoprivrednike.

	(31b) Uvjeti okoline navedeni u projektnoj kategoriji A mogući su na dugim plovidbama, primjerice prekooceanskoj plovidbi, ili obalnoj plovidbi bez zaštite od vjetra i valova na području od nekoliko stotina nautičkih milja. Uvjeti navedeni u projektnoj kategoriji B mogući su na dovoljno dugoj plovidbi otvorenim morem ili uz obalu ako nije uvijek odmah dostupno sklonište. Takvi su uvjeti mogući i na unutarnjim morima koja su dovoljno velika da se stvori određena valna visina. Uvjeti navedeni u projektnoj kategoriji C mogući su na izloženim unutarnjim vodama, u ušćima rijeka i obalnim vodama pri umjerenim vremenskim uvjetima. Uvjeti navedeni u projektnoj kategoriji D mogući su u zaštićenim unutarnjim vodama i u obalnim vodama pri dobrim vremenskim uvjetima.

The RCD Guidelines 2008 state that hired recreational craft are covered by the Directive, as are recreational craft used for recreational boating training. This clarification will ensure a common interpretation across Member States which furthermore has particular relevance to the application of the IMO MARPOL convention.
Amandman  14 Prijedlog Direktive Članak 3. – točka 2.
Tekst koji je predložila Komisija	Izmjena
2. „rekreacijsko plovilo” je plovilo bilo koje vrste namijenjeno za sport i razonodu duljine trupa od 2,5 do 24 metra, mjereno prema usuglašenoj normi, neovisno o vrsti pogona;	2. (Ne odnosi se na hrvatsku verziju.)
Obrazloženje
This AM adjusts DR 8 aligning the definition of a recreational craft to the international standard "vessel". This also aligns the definition of recreational craft in this respect to the reference to "vessel" in DR 9 defining personal watercraft. There is no definition of a 'boat' in this proposal for a Directive. Accordingly DR 8 will be withdrawn.

This corrects a formatting error in the Commission proposal and ensures that this provision from the Current RCD 1994/25 is carried over effectively and clearly. The contents of point a) has in fact not been deleted but has been moved to MH AM to Article 6, paragraph 4, introductory part. The contents of point b) has in fact not been deleted but has been moved to MH AM on Article 6 paragraph 4a (new) point a). The contents of the first part of point c) has in fact not been deleted but has moved to MH AM on Article 6 paragraph 4a (new) point b).

A degree of certainty for using the harmonised standard for noise testing is defined in the modular choices in Art 23. However to ensure that the harmonised standard is indeed used, this text has been reproduced from Annex A 2.1.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Key industry metrics and intended scope

The proposal for a new Directive on recreational craft and personal watercraft substantially modernises existing EU rules on safety and environmental performance requirements for 'watercraft' designed for private use activities i.e. leisure, sporting and training activities including when hired, with or without crews.

'Watercraft' in this Directive means boats from 2.5m to 24m in length and covers 'recreational craft' (motor boats and sailing yachts including those equipped with inboard or outboard engines) and 'personal watercraft', essentially water scooters, clarifying that these are now also covered by the rules.

An important distinction to bear in mind, the Directive applies to recreational and personal watercraft whether these are designed for use at sea or in inland waterways but it does not concern those vessels designed and used for commercial passenger transport (which are regulated by Directive 2009/45/EC on Passenger Ships and/or Directive 2006/87/EC on Inland Waterway Vessels).

In short, the Directive covers everything from a small inflatable boats with an outboard engine one might use on a lake to go fishing to the kind of large motor yachts you will find on the Italian Riviera.

The main essential requirements which the concerned vessels need to meet include stability and floatation, engine and electrical safety, exhaust and noise emissions. The key elements of the proposal are:

1) A modernisation exercise to align the existing rules to the principles of the New Legislative Framework (NLF). Furthermore, a general safety clause will be added, meaning that products covered by this Directive can only be placed on the market if the general safety requirements of the Directive's annexes are satisfied. 

2) Further clarification on the scope and definitions

3) Alignment to harmonised standards (see below) 

4) The limits for noise emissions are maintained, with the possibility for national measures to go further in sensitive geographical areas (typically regulations on speed or minimum distance from the shore).

5) The mandatory installation of holding tanks or on-broad water treatment systems to watercraft fitted with toilets for better marine environmental protection.

6) Rules on post construction assessments carried out by any natural or legal person within the Community who places a product covered by the Directive on the market in cases where neither the manufacturer, nor his authorised representatives fulfils the responsibility for evaluating the conformity of the product. This follows from the existing rules but personal watercrafts will now be explicitly covered; the status and obligations of private importers will also be clarified.

7) As regards the obligation to affix CE marking, this will now extend to all inboard and stern drive engines without integral exhaust.

8) Updated rules on exhaust and noise emissions (see below).

9) New rules on reporting. Within 5 years, EU Member States must report to the Commission on enforcing the Directive's provisions. 

10) Alignment with the horizontal rules on accreditation, CE marking, market surveillance and control of products marketed in the EU.

11) Introduction of more flexible conformity assessment procedures.

The European Commission conducted extensive consultations with key stakeholders including Member States, notified bodies, the European boating industry (heavily dominated by SMEs), engine manufacturers, and boating associations (users).

In preparing this Draft Report, your Rapporteur has taken into account broad stakeholder views and it appears there is a general consensus that the Commission's proposal is well balanced. This also explains why your Rapporteur has only proposed a limited number of essentially technical adjustments and clarifications in this Draft Report.

Your Rapporteur focussed his amendments on adjusting definitions to make them more precise, and on clarifying the precise scope of application of a number of specific provisions. Furthermore, your Rapporteur has aimed to clarify importer responsibilities with regards to Post Construction Assessment; he has introduced proposals for improving product traceability, for specifying where CE marking is necessary, and he has also ensured that existing controls by Notified Bodies for larger potentially sea-going vessels are maintained. Your Rapporteur also considered necessary to provide more detail on the exact application of a number of important safety requirements (flotation, electricity, gas, and fuel tank ventilation).

Your Rapporteur has also decided to table an updated system for defining boat design categories which removes the existing link between design category and intended use according to geographical location (e.g. off shore or sheltered waters) to instead leave wind strength and wave height as the main 2 parameters, which is more precise and appropriate. This suggested change reflects furthermore the terms used in the relevant international harmonised standard. The Rapporteur however maintains a reserve on this if the proposal proves too costly for EU manufacturers to adapt to. Your Rapporteur will consider asking MEP colleagues for approval to commission an IMCO Committee limited Impact Assessment before maintaining or withdrawing these Amendments, as these suggested changes to the system were not covered in the Commission's impact assessment accompanying the proposal.

Global alignment

The Commission proposal aligns the EU with the latest US Environmental Protection Agency regulations for both SI and CI engines. This means that the USA, Canada, the EU and Japan will have common recreational marine engine emissions limits which should provide powerful motivation for other jurisdictions such as Australia - which are considering regulating this sector - to adopt this approach.

The recreational marine engine sector is small. Even the largest engine segment (outboard engines), only had total global sales in 2009 of 457,000 units spread across 105 engine families. The next generation of outboard, personal watercraft and CI diesel engines using after treatment with very significant development and manufacturing costs will demand a global approach to make them affordable. The Commission's proposal starts this process and AM 19 is intended to ensure this global approach is maintained in the next stage of exhaust emissions’ reduction.

Exhaust emissions

It is widely perceived that this sector has a limited impact on the environment given the low numbers of watercraft in circulation as compared to other motorised vehicles, compounded by the declining sales volumes since 2007 (they have been halved) and the limited hourly use per year. In this context, the manufacturing sector has pushed environmental considerations as far as is possible with current applied technologies and supported the earliest possible implementation at an acceptable cost to the industry. The Rapporteur agrees with the Commission's conclusion in its Impact Assessment that the proposed limits for exhaust emissions reflect the most stringent but feasible reduction within the given timeline.

The proposal introduces a reduction of CO emission limit values for certain categories Spark Ignition gasoline inboard and stern drive engines and no change for diesel (CI) engines which in any case produce low CO levels. More significant reduction of all three pollutants (HC, NOx and CO) on SI engines is only possible through exhaust gas after-treatment introducing three-way catalyst technology, but which is unfortunately not yet sufficiently developed on outboard and personal watercraft engines. There are physical constraints and the investment required is not affordable for the industry at this point.

The proposal does reduce overall HC and NOx emissions for outboard and personal watercraft engines by at least 25% but to achieve this demands an increase in CO. There is a direct combustion trade off here. If HC and NOx emissions are reduced, this means CO emissions increase. The Rapporteur urges MEP colleagues to bear this in mind and support the Commission proposals on this key environmental emissions point.

The Rapporteur did however note industry's efforts to comply with emissions requirements early on, and supports shortening the transitional period originally proposed by the Commission, and have full working rules in place by the end of 2014 for most engines (see AM 20). The longer transitional period would be limited to spark plug ignition (SI) outboard engines with power below 15 kilowatts and which are manufactured by SMEs only, where more time is needed, see Commission proposal Art 58 paragraph 2.

Furthermore, your Rapporteur has tabled an Amendment to promote the take up of biofuels, and has also proposed that the Commission investigate within 5 years, the possibility of rolling out a further engine emissions reduction stage.

Noise emissions

Preliminary discussions in Committee suggest that MEPs will look more closely at environmental noise emission levels. On this point, your Rapporteur would also like colleagues to bear in mind the physical constraints as regards any improvement on the requirements proposed by the Commission in consultation with stakeholders.

By way of background, following extensive industry noise testing on boats, a comprehensive data set on boat sound was collected to develop both the Directive’s limit values and an ISO test standard. The results were independently confirmed by an FP6 project. Towing a typical 5.5m speedboat at 70km/h revealed that noise from the hull on the water = 72dB at 25m from the microphone. Engine manufacturers agreed that their engines should not be louder than the boat hull and some design changes were achieved to get within this limit. Accordingly, a hull and engine noise of 72db each, combines into a value of 75db which is the requirement set in the Directive. Lower values were developed for smaller boats and engines and an additional allowance of 3db was necessary for multiple engine installations.

Today the testing method is set out in harmonised standard EN ISO 14509 Part 1. The limits set out in this proposal represent what can be achieved with current boat design. It is your Rapporteur's position that engine noise can make no further significant contribution to reduce further boat sound. For example, if a target for further reducing engine sound is proposed as 10dB (which is not achievable), it would only reduce the overall sound levels of the boat by 3dB. It is your Rapporteur's conclusion that any significantly stricter measures on noise would require re-designing boats entirely which would negatively impact on accommodation space and importantly on safety (hull strength, boat stability and seaworthiness).

Finally, since boats do not, for the most part, run on smooth surfaces, waves are the major component of boat noise when they impact on the hull. Noise can be an issue on small or calm lakes or some stretches of river and canal, but clearly not in the majority of real life situations. Public perception may also be affected by the many boats on the water dating from before the introduction of EU sound limits. Furthermore noise is mainly linked to the behaviour of the user rather than the underlying technology, so noise is in any case best reduced by appropriate speed limits and policing. Your Rapporteur would advise MEP colleagues to not amend the Commission proposal on noise emissions.

for the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection

on the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on recreational craft and personal watercraft

(COM(2011)0456 – C7‑0212/2011 – 2011/0197(COD))

Rapporteur: Salvatore Tatarella

SHORT JUSTIFICATION

Background

The purpose of the Commission proposal for a directive on recreational craft and personal watercraft is to revise a directive adopted in 1994 – Directive 94/25/EC – which laid down basic safety standards for watercraft placed on the market. Directive 94/25/EC has already been amended by Directive 2003/44/EC, which introduced a set of limit values for exhaust emissions and noise levels for watercraft. This new Commission proposal imposes stricter emission limits to reflect the technological progress of recreational marine engines; this will have the effect of harmonising limits worldwide and, in particular, bringing them into line with the limits imposed in the US. The recreational craft sector has limited impact on the environment, given the small number of watercraft compared to motor vehicles in general and the fact that they are only used for a few months of the year.

The directive lays down maximum exhaust emission levels for pollutants such as particulates, nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons. It does not address CO₂.

Before finalising the draft directive, the Commission conducted wide-ranging consultations with interested parties: the nautical industries, engine manufacturers, nautical associations and the Member States. There was general consensus among all stakeholders on the proposal. The draft directive lays down new rules for a sector which employs 270 000 people and includes 37 000 businesses. The nautical sector mainly consists of SMEs (which account for 95% of the businesses concerned). The Commission therefore was careful to take particular account of SMEs in the recreational marine craft and engine sector, bearing in mind that some small-volume engine manufacturers only supply the European market. Since 2007 the sector has been seriously affected by the economic crisis, with total sales of recreational craft falling by half.

The rapporteur’s position

The rapporteur welcomes the Commission proposal, and particularly supports its objective of harmonising the existing legislation. It is very important to ensure that the new directive, while tightening up some provisions to comply with environmental criteria, helps to boost the sector’s competitiveness by bringing it into line with the most advanced sectors of the market at world level. This would enable the industry to beat off strong competition from the US and allow the European Union to play a leading role in the sector.

One key element of the directive is the granting of a transitional period to allow manufacturers to adapt to the new emission requirements. The rapporteur welcomes the extension of the transitional period to three years for small and medium sized engine manufacturers placing on the EU market outboard engines below 15 kW. In the case of noise pollution, however, no change to the current limit values is proposed, since noise emissions relate not only to engine noise, but also to external environmental conditions: these two factors make it very difficult to amend the existing rules.

Your rapporteur strongly believes that noise emissions should be controlled at local level by measures to tighten up speed restrictions. Noise levels are closely correlated to the behaviour of watercraft users and compliance with the rules applying to the recreational use of such craft. Your rapporteur calls on the Commission to examine, within the next five years, the feasibility of a further stage to reduce emissions from marine engines while taking account of technological developments and including the problem of fuel spillage in the scope of the legislation. Finally, your rapporteur considers that the proposal should be adopted as a matter of the greatest urgency, to ensure that the directive is transposed and implemented by the Member States as soon as possible.

OPINION of the Committee on Transport and Tourism (24.4.2012)

for the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection

on the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on recreational craft and personal watercraft

(COM(2011)0456 – C7‑0212/2011 – 2011/0197(COD))

Rapporteur: Roberts Zīle

SHORT JUSTIFICATION

The European Commission's proposal for a revision of the Recreational Craft Directive (94/25/EC) (RCD) aims at improving the environmental performance of recreational craft and personal watercraft by considering revising limits for exhaust emissions from marine engines and limits for noise and substantially modernising existing safety requirements. The initiative’s additional objective is to ensure equal regulatory conditions with the EU's main trading partners and a smooth functioning of the internal market for watercrafts. It covers motor boats, sailing boats, personal watercraft (jet skis), their engines and the components which are not used for commercial purposes. The new legislation is expected to enter into force by mid 2015.

Exhaust emissions

By setting stricter limits for NOx and hydrocarbons (HC), the revised Directive brings the exhaust emission of recreational marine engines in line with the - stricter - US rules. The same emission limits for the EU and the US, Canada and Japan markets, will save costs for EU manufactures with respect to the development, manufacturing and certification of their product lines. Your rapporteur agrees with the Commission and the main committee's rapporteur on the following: The proposed limits for exhaust emissions reflect the most stringent but feasible reduction within the given timeline. More significant reductions of all three pollutants (HC, NOx and CO) on SI engines are only possible through exhaust gas after-treatment introducing three-way catalyst technology. The required technology is, however, not yet sufficiently developed and would require an investment which is not affordable for the industry at this point. Furthermore, your rapporteur agrees with the Commission's proposal for a transitional period of 3 years for all engine manufactures and an additional 3 years for small and medium enterprises which manufacture SI outboard engines ≤ 15 kW in order to ensure minimal economical and social losses.

The Commission's proposal for a new construction requirement of a mandatory fitting of holding tanks or on board water treatment systems has to be welcomed for the sake of environmental protection as far as it prevents the discharge of sewage at sea.

Noise emissions

Your rapporteur supports the Commission's proposal to maintain current limits for noise emissions, as any further reduction would require engines to be significantly redesigned. It has to be kept in mind that noise emitted by recreational craft is affected by a number of factors such as the engine, the hull, and the concentration of boats, the speed, user's behaviour, geography and the weather conditions. That is why the Directive allows undertaking national measures in order to set stricter limits, such as speed limits, a minimum distance from the shore or a ban of boats in specific areas. Your rapporteur considers that an exchange of views on best practices among Member States would promote proportionality of relevant national provisions and help to take appropriate measures. In this context, your rapporteur refers to several Court cases of the Court of Justice of the European Union (notably on cases C-142/05 and C-433/05). Amendments no. 2 and 5 aim at inviting the Commission to facilitate this process.

Safety requirements

Your rapporteur stresses the importance of the new general safety clause which presents the legal basis for taking unsafe watercraft out of the market if the product does not satisfy the Directive's safety requirements or if the product represents, in general terms, a danger to the safety and health of persons, property or the environment.

Your rapporteur welcomes stricter obligations for manufactures, importers and distributors to demonstrate the conformity of their products (i.e. CE marking) via appropriate conformity assessment procedures. As most of the privately imported boats are imported from third countries, it is welcomed that private importers are now to be explicitly included under the Directive's obligations of Post Construction Assessment. However, in order to ensure that these boats correspond to the reinforced requirements of this Directive, Member States need to ensure that adequate and efficient checks are performed both at the EU external borders and within the Union itself.

Hybrid technologies

Your rapporteur takes the view that the development of the technology of hybrid engines for recreational craft should be taken into consideration - within the Directive - as an innovative solution for propulsion systems. The rapporteur's amendments no. 1, 3, 6 and 7 ensure that innovative propulsion solutions and test cycles for hybrid engines are covered by the Directive.

AMENDMENTS

The Committee on Transport and Tourism calls on the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection, as the committee responsible, to incorporate the following amendments in its report:

Amendment  1 Proposal for a directive Recital 4 a (new)
Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
	(4a) Appropriate measures should also be taken in future to collect data on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from engines on recreational craft and personal watercraft.
Justification
The carbon footprint of the six million recreational craft and personal watercraft should be calculated, in order firstly to assess the scale of the problem and then to tackle it. According to the Commission, there is still no inventory of carbon emissions from recreational craft and personal watercraft.
Amendment  2 Proposal for a directive Recital 8
Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
(8) It is also appropriate to provide definitions of ‘watercraft built for own use’ and of ‘private importer’ specific to this sector in order to facilitate the understanding and uniform application of this Directive.	(8) It is also appropriate to provide definitions of 'watercraft built for own use' and of 'private importer' specific to this sector in order to facilitate the understanding and uniform application of this Directive. It is necessary to extend the definition of 'propulsion engine' set out in Directive 94/25/EEC so that it also covers innovative propulsion solutions.
Justification
This amendment aims at broadening the definition of 'propulsion engines', since the new technologies of hybrids which are now in place and which might expand in the future, were not taken into account in this Directive.
Amendment  3 Proposal for a directive Recital 12 a (new)
Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
	(12a) Having regard to the specific nature of the business carried out by SMEs producing recreational craft and personal watercraft, such SMEs should be subject to a special form of support in view of the significant investment burden associated with such a business.
Amendment  4 Proposal for a directive Recital 15
Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
(15) When placing a product covered by this Directive on the market, importers should indicate on the product their name and the address at which they can be contacted. Exceptions should be provided for in cases where the size or nature of a component does not allow for such an indication.	(15) When placing a product covered by this Directive on the market, importers should indicate on the product their name and the address at which they can be contacted. Where the size or nature of a component does not allow for such an indication, importers should supply appropriate documentation by which such a component can be identified.
Amendment  5 Proposal for a directive Recital 26
Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
(26) In accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, the provisions of this Directive should not affect Member States’ entitlement to lay down such requirements as they may deem necessary concerning navigation on certain waters for the purpose of protection of the environment, the fabric of waterways, and ensuring safety of waterways, provided that those provisions do not require modification to the watercraft which is in conformity with this Directive.	(26) In accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, the provisions of this Directive should not affect Member States’ entitlement to lay down such requirements as they may deem necessary concerning navigation on certain waters for the purpose of protection of the environment, the fabric of waterways, and ensuring safety of waterways, provided that those provisions do not require modification to the watercraft which is in conformity with this Directive and that those provisions are justified and proportionate to the objective to be achieved. The Commission should facilitate the exchange of best practices between Member States on the application of Article 5 of this Directive by setting up an adequate system for such exchange.
Justification
The rapporteur takes the view that an exchange of views on best practices among Member States on the application of Article 5 would help to avoid disproportionate measures and should be promoted by the Commission.
Amendment  6 Proposal for a directive Recital 39
Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
(39) In order to take into account the progress of technical knowledge and new scientific evidence, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission to amend Section 2 of Part B and Section 1 of Part C of Annex I, with the exception of direct or indirect modifications to exhaust or noise emission values and to the Froude and P/D ratio values, and Annexes V, VII and IX. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level.	(39) In order to take into account the progress of technical knowledge and new scientific evidence, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission to amend Section 2 of Part B and Section 1 of Part C of Annex I, with the exception of direct or indirect modifications to exhaust or noise emission values and to the Froude and P/D ratio values, to include test cycles for hybrid engines, to introduce biofuel blended test fuels in the table of test fuels once those test fuels have been internationally accepted and to amend Annexes V, VII and IX. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level.
Justification
This amendment introduces the hybrid systems into the Directive which were not taken into account by the Commission when the proposal for the Directive had been finalised, due to a lack of information at that time.
Amendment  7 Proposal for a directive Recital 44
Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
(44) Member States should lay down rules on penalties applicable to infringements of this Directive and ensure that they are implemented. Those penalties should be effective, proportionate and dissuasive.	(44) Member States should lay down rules on penalties applicable to infringements of this Directive and ensure that they are implemented by services clearly designated for that purpose or by the competent national authorities. Those penalties should be effective, proportionate and dissuasive, and they should be applied without undue delay.
Amendment  8 Proposal for a directive Article 2 – paragraph 2 – point a – point xiii
Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
(xiii) amphibious craft;	(xiii) amphibious craft able to operate on both water and dry land;
Amendment  9 Proposal for a directive Article 3 – point 5
Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
5. ‘propulsion engine’ means any spark or compression ignition, internal combustion engine used for propulsion purposes;	5. 'propulsion engine' means any spark or compression ignition, internal combustion engine used directly or indirectly for propulsion purposes;
Justification
This amendment intends to ensure that all types of hybrid installation will have to conform to the exhaust emission requirements of Annex I.B, since the technology of hybrids has not be taken into account in this Directive.
Amendment  10 Proposal for a directive Article 5
Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
The provisions of this Directive shall not prevent Member States from adopting provisions concerning navigation on certain waters for the purpose of protection of the environment, the fabric of waterways, and ensuring safety of waterways, provided that those provisions do not require modification to watercraft conforming to this Directive.	The provisions of this Directive shall not prevent Member States from adopting provisions concerning navigation on certain waters for the purpose of protection of the environment, including from noise pollution, the fabric of waterways, and ensuring safety of waterways, provided that those provisions do not require modification to watercraft conforming to this Directive and that those provisions are justified and proportionate. The Commission shall facilitate the exchange of best practices between Member States and set up an adequate system for such exchange.
Justification
The rapporteur takes the view that an exchange of views on best practices among Member States on the application of Article 5 would help to avoid disproportionate measures and should be promoted by the Commission.
Amendment  11 Proposal for a directive Article 49 – paragraph 1 – point aa (new)
Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
	(aa) point 2.3.1 of Part B of Annex I, to include test cycles for hybrid propulsion engines;
Justification
This amendment proposes to add, under the Commission's delegated powers, hybrid test cycles once a common set of such tests cycles has been agreed internationally.
Amendment  12 Proposal for a directive Article 50 – paragraph 2
Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
2. The delegation of power referred to in Article 49 shall be conferred for an indeterminate period of time from the date specified in Article 60.	2. The delegation of power referred to in Article 49 shall be conferred for seven years from the date specified in Article 60. The Commission shall draw up a report in respect of the delegation of power not later than nine months before the end of the seven-year period. The delegation of power shall be tacitly extended for periods of an identical duration, unless the European Parliament or the Council opposes such extension not later than three months before the end of each period.
Amendment  13 Proposal for a directive Annex 1 – point A – point 2.3
Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
Watercraft shall be designed to minimise the risks of falling overboard and to facilitate reboarding.	Watercraft shall be designed to minimise the risks of falling overboard and to facilitate reboarding. Means of reboarding shall be accessible to or deployable by a person in the water unaided.
Justification
Design of watercraft should allow for unaided reboarding for safety reasons, particularly important in cold water conditions. The amendment also aligns the text to existing requirements in the US.
Amendment  14 Proposal for a directive Annex 1 – part A – point 5 – point 5.3 – paragraph 2
Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
Attention shall be paid to the provision of overload and short-circuit protection of all circuits, except engine starting circuits, supplied from batteries. Ventilation shall be provided to prevent the accumulation of gases, which might be emitted from batteries. Batteries shall be firmly secured and protected from ingress of water.	Attention shall be paid to the provision of adequate overload and short-circuit protection of all circuits, except engine starting circuits supplied from batteries. Electric propulsion circuits shall be designed and installed to prevent any unwanted interaction with all other circuits. The installation shall ensure that devices which store electrical energy do not exceed the manufacturer's recommended maximum temperature limits. Ventilation shall be provided to prevent the accumulation of explosive gases which might be emitted. Batteries shall be firmly secured and protected from ingress of water.
Justification
Hybrid propulsion installations can introduce new risks to the boat in terms of batteries overheating with potentially catastrophic results and voltage spikes from the powerful hybrid electric motor disabling all electronic devices on the boat including engine controls if not properly isolated from other circuits. A separate electric circuit is needed where the radio/safety equipment needs to stay operational even if an electric failure occurs on the electric propulsion circuit.
