Recital 2

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
(2) Greenhouse gas emissions accounting is used in various economic sectors – including transport – to quantify greenhouse gas emissions data from specific activities of businesses and individuals. Better information on the performance of transport services is a powerful tool to create right incentives for transport users for making more sustainable choices, and to influence business decisions of transport organisers and operators. Reliable and comparable greenhouse gas emissions data are the underlying requirement to create these incentives, and thus to stimulate behavioural change among consumers and businesses alike, for contributing to objectives of the European Green Deal52 for transport, and the European Climate Law.

Recital 3

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
(3) Despite growing interest of transport stakeholders, the overall uptake of greenhouse gas emissions accounting of transport services is still limited. In most cases, users do not obtain accurate information on the performance of transport services, and transport service organisers and operators do not calculate and disclose their emissions. Disproportionally low uptake of greenhouse gas emissions accounting is observed particularly among small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) that represent the vast majority of businesses offering transport services on the EU market.

Disproportionally low uptake of greenhouse gas emissions accounting is observed particularly among small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) that represent the vast majority of businesses offering transport services on the EU market. In fact, SMEs face disproportionally more financial and bureaucratic burdens when they decide to account their greenhouse gas emissions.

Recital 5

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
(5) The Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy of December 202054 refers to incentives for choosing the most sustainable transport options, within and across the modes. Those incentives include the setting up of a European framework for the harmonised measurement of transport and logistics greenhouse gas emissions, based on globally recognised standards, which could then be used to provide businesses and end-users with an estimate of the carbon footprint of their choices, and increase the demand from end-users and consumers for opting for more sustainable transport and mobility solutions, while avoiding greenwashing.	(5) The Commission´s Communication on the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy of December 2020 refers to incentives for choosing the most sustainable transport options, within and across the modes, with a strong emphasis on a shift to rail both for passengers and freight, including concrete targets for both, as concrete contributions for the transport sector's role in achieving the binding target under Union law, set out in Regulation (EU) 2021/1119 of the European Parliament and of the Council53a, to reduce the Union’s net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55 % compared to 1990 levels by 2030 and the objective to reach economy wide climate neutrality at the latest by 2050. Those incentives include the setting up of a European framework for the harmonised measurement of transport and logistics greenhouse gas emissions, based on globally recognised standards, which could then be used to provide businesses and end-users with an estimate of the carbon footprint of their choices, and increase the demand from end-users and consumers for opting for more sustainable transport and mobility solutions, including parcel deliveries, while avoiding greenwashing.

Amendment  5

 

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 5 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
	(5a) Most greenhouse gases related to transport and logistics are emitted during the vehicle operation, production of an energy carrier and the manufacturing of a vehicle.

Amendment  6

 

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 6

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
(6) Laying down harmonised rules for accounting greenhouse gas emissions of freight and passenger transport services is therefore appropriate to attain comparable figures for greenhouse gas emissions of transport services and to avoid misleading information on their performance resulting from the possibility to choose between various emissions calculation methods and input data. Such rules should ensure a level playing field between transport modes, segments, and the Union’s national networks. It should also help create incentives to behavioural change among businesses and customers to reduce greenhouse emissions from transport services through the uptake and use of comparable and reliable greenhouse emissions data.

Amendment  7

 

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 7

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
(7) This Regulation should make available a reference framework for other emissions reduction measures that may be further undertaken by public authorities and industry, including where establishing greenhouse gas transparency clauses in transport contracts, providing information on greenhouse gas emissions of a travel or delivery option to passengers or customers, or setting climate-related criteria for green procurement procedures.	(7) This Regulation should provide a reference framework for the disclosure of greenhouse gas emissions on a voluntary or contractual basis or due to obligations under Union and national law. It should make available a reference framework for other emissions reduction measures that may be further undertaken public authorities and industry, including where establishing greenhouse gas transparency clauses in transport contracts, providing information on greenhouse gas emissions of a travel or delivery option to passengers or customers, or setting climate-related criteria for green procurement procedures. In the case of e-commerce and parcel deliveries, it would facilitate compliance with the requirement to provide, along with the current information on estimated delivery date, associated price, and the associated emissions of each option.

Amendment  8

 

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 8

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
(8) Despite benefits stemming from the increased transparency on the performance of transport services, mandatory application of this Regulation to all entities offering transport services on the Union market would be disproportionate and lead to excessive costs and burden. Therefore, this Regulation should apply only to those entities that decide or are bound by other relevant legislative and non-legislative regimes, to calculate and disclose information on greenhouse gas emissions of freight or passengers transport services that start or end on the territory of the Union. This consequently includes services, the origin or destination points of which are situated in a third country.

This consequently includes services, the origin or destination points of which are situated in a third country. Indeed, in order to ensure that all relevant transport services are accounted for and guarantee a level playing field between EU transport entities and transport entities from third countries, this Regulation should apply to transport services starting and ending outside the Union territory but stopping in the Union in order to embark or disembark passengers or to load or unload goods.

Amendment  9

 

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 9

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
(9) This Regulation should not apply to data intermediaries, such as those offering multimodal digital mobility services, where they do not directly calculate information on greenhouse gas emissions of transport services but only disclose information on those emissions provided by a concerned entity or other relevant legal or natural person. However, the data intermediaries should be bound by relevant rules related to the communication and transparency of the disclosed greenhouse gas emissions data, to ensure comparability of those data on the market.	(9) This Regulation should apply to data intermediaries, such as those offering multimodal digital mobility services, as well as digital navigation services and journey route planning services, when they calculate information on greenhouse gas emissions of transport services, including when they combine information on those emissions provided by a concerned entity or other relevant legal or natural person. Data intermediaries where they do not calculate information on greenhouse gas emissions of transport services but only disclose information on those emissions should be bound by relevant rules related to the communication and transparency of the disclosed greenhouse gas emissions data, to ensure comparability of those data on the market and across transport modes.

Amendment  10

 

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 9 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
	(9a) Data intermediaries offering multimodal digital mobility services provide consumers with several choices based on travel time, related costs and mode of travel. Those data intermediaries should also be able to provide consumers with the information about the greenhouse gas emissions of a particular journey. Therefore, entities concerned or other relevant legal or natural persons should be obliged to provide that information to data intermediaries.

Amendment  11

 

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 10 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
	(10a) Any claims made on the basis of output data reported in accordance with this Regulation should be in full compliance with Directive (EU) (.....)/(....) on substantiation and communication of explicit environmental claims (Green Claims Directive) as well as Directive (.....)/(....) amending Directives 2005/29/EC and 2011/83/EU as regards empowering consumers for the green transition through better protection against unfair practices and better information.

Amendment  12

 

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 11

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
(11) A proper method for calculating greenhouse gas emissions of transport services is one of the key aspects for the harmonised Union framework set out by this Regulation. The method should ensure that the emissions calculations performed across a transport chain provide comparable and accurate greenhouse gas emissions data, by following a single set of methodological steps. It should also adequately account for the needs of the transport market, in order to avoid unnecessary complexity, excessive burden and costs, and be accepted by stakeholders.

Recital 12

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
(12) EN ISO standard 14083:2023, published by the European Committee for Standardisation57 in April 2023, and transposing ISO standard 14083:2023, was chosen to be the reference methodology for calculating greenhouse gas emissions of transport services under this Regulation. The analysis showed that ISO standard 14083:2023 proved to be the most relevant and proportional in addressing the objectives of this Regulation. The quantification of emissions is performed on a well-to-wheel basis, which includes greenhouse gas emissions stemming from energy provision and vehicle use during transport and hub operations.

Amendment  14

 

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 12 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
	(12a) EN ISO standard 14083:2023 has its limitation, particularly the shortage that it does not consider greenhouse gas emissions from the whole lifecycle of transport services. Therefore, the Commission should assess the possibility of expanding the scope of the reference methodology for calculating greenhouse gas emissions of transport services in the near future to provide for the calculation and reporting of lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of transport services. The future methodology should take into consideration the uptake of zero emission vehicles and the provisions of Article 14, paragraph 5 of Directive 2003/87/EC. To that end, the Commission should consider existing efforts such as the ISO 14067:2018 and the Product Category Rules on transport services established in the International Environmental Product Declaration System.

Amendment  15

 

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 12 b (new)

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
	(12b) The Commission, in cooperation with the European Committee for Standardisation and the national standardisation bodies of the Member States, should strive to provide the transport sector with access to the ISO standard 14083:2023 or to the equivalent European CEN ISO 14083 standard free of charge to micro, small and medium-sized Enterprises ('SMEs') as defined in Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC. The standards should be accessible in its authentic version as well as in all the official languages of the Union to make this Regulation more accessible to all those that are subject to it.

Amendment  16

 

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 12 c (new)

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
	(12c) Full life cycle emissions are generally considered to include the well-to-wheel greenhouse emissions, and emissions of vehicle production, maintenance and disposal, as well as infrastructure as far as relevant, as set out in Commission Recommendation (EU) 2021/2279. For reasons of proportionality and in order to limit administrative complexity and implementation costs, when assessing life cycle emissions for the purposes of this regulation infrastructure should not be included.

Amendment  17

 

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 13

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
(13) Attention should be paid not to deviate from the original methodological choices of EN ISO standard 14083:2023, in order to avoid inconsistencies in the calculation of greenhouse emissions of transport services on the market, especially in the context of international transport chains. However, from time to time, it is appropriate to assess the need of a possible adjustment of EN ISO 14083:2023 from the perspective of Union policies, as well as future amendments to that standard that may be carried out by the European Committee of Standardisation, or another competent body. In case these assessments show a risk that certain part of the standard may create undue imbalances in calculating greenhouse gas emissions of transport services in specific market segments or lead to discrepancies between that standard and the objectives of this Regulation or other applicable Union law, the Commission, in cooperation with Member States, may consider to request the European Committee for Standardisation to revise the standard accordingly, or to decide for the exclusion of that part of the standard from the scope of this Regulation.	(13) Attention should be paid not to deviate from the original methodological choices of EN ISO standard 14083:2023, in order to avoid inconsistencies in the calculation of greenhouse emissions of transport services on the market, especially in the context of international transport chains. However it is appropriate to periodically assess the need for a possible adjustment of EN ISO 14083:2023 from the perspective of Union policies, including upcoming legislation, as well as future amendments to that standard that may be carried out by the European Committee of Standardisation, or another competent body. If these assessments conclude that there is a risk that certain part of the standard may create undue imbalances in calculating greenhouse gas emissions of transport services in specific market segments or lead to discrepancies between that standard and the objectives of this Regulation or other applicable Union law, The Commission, in cooperation with Member States, may consider to request the European Committee for Standardisation to revise the standard accordingly, or to decide for the exclusion of that part of the standard from the scope of this Regulation. An amendment to the standard or a component creating a manifest risk of the incompatibility with the objectives of this Regulation and other applicable Union rules, notably with the Union’s long-term climate objective and intermediate targets as laid down in Regulation (EU) 2021/1119, and other Union climate law, should be excluded.

Amendment  18

 

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 15

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
(15) Different types of input data, including primary and secondary data, can be used to calculate greenhouse gas emissions of transport services. The use of primary data leads to most reliable and accurate results, and therefore should be prioritised to provide for the gradual uptake of these data in greenhouse gas emissions calculation processes. However, primary data might be unattainable or prohibitively expensive for certain stakeholders, especially SMEs. Therefore, the use of secondary data should be allowed under clear conditions.

However, as primary data might be unachievable or prohibitively expensive for small and medium-sized companies, SMEs should be exempt. Therefore, the use of secondary data should be allowed under the conditions laid out in this Regulation. Access to in-vehicle data relevant for this purpose should be provided by OEMs to SMEs.

Amendment  19

 

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 15 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
	(15a) Where a transport service organiser that partially or fully subcontracts the concrete performance of a transport service and decides to integrate the subcontractor’s greenhouse gas emissions data in its overall calculation, it should be able to rely on secondary data in respect of the transport services performed by the subcontractor(s). Flexibility should be granted to use secondary data provided by one or several subcontractors, even if primary data is used for the calculation of greenhouse gas emissions deriving from the transport services performed by other subcontractors or by the transport service organiser’s own fleet.

Amendment  20

 

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 15 b (new)

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
	(15b) Member States are able to introduce incentives of an administrative, financial or operational nature to stimulate the use of primary data, and in this respect Member States should notify to the Commission when they put in place such incentives, in order for the Commission to monitor the well-functioning of the internal market and to ensure a level playing field.

Amendment  21

 

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 16

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
(16) Regarding secondary data, greenhouse gas emissions of a transport service may be calculated by using default values or modelled data. The use of default values and modelled data should however provide accurate and reliable information on the greenhouse gas emissions of a specific transport service, and therefore those default values should be set and modelled data be developed in neutral and objective manner, based on trusted sources and adequate parameters.	(16) Regarding secondary data, greenhouse gas emissions of a transport service may be calculated by using default values or modelled data. The use of default values and modelled data should however provide accurate and reliable information on the greenhouse gas emissions of a specific transport service, and therefore those default values should be set and modelled data be developed and recurrently updated in neutral and objective manner, based on trusted sources and adequate parameters. Databases and default values that would lead to the resulting emissions being understated as compared to those stated in primary data reporting are considered to be failing the technical quality checks concerning the accuracy and reliability of information. Those technical quality checks should be repeated regularly.

Amendment  22

 

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 17

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
(17) A core EU database of default values for greenhouse gas emission intensity should therefore be established to improve the comparability of greenhouse gas emissions results obtained in the application of this Regulation. However, given the sectorial, national and regional specificities of those default values across the Union, other relevant databases and datasets operated by third parties should be allowed on the condition that they undergo a technical quality check at Union level.	(17) A core EU database of default values for greenhouse gas emission intensity should therefore be established to improve the comparability of greenhouse gas emissions results obtained in the application of this Regulation. This database should provide enough granularity and reflect the sectorial, national, and regional specificities across the Union, and should include separate tables for each mode of transport, ensuring regular updating and incorporating state-of-the-art technological advances in emission reduction where applicable. However, given the sectorial, national and regional specificities of those default values across the Union, other relevant databases and datasets operated by third parties should be allowed on the condition that they undergo a technical quality check at Union level.

Amendment  23

 

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 18 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
	(18a) A location-based approach, on the basis that a set of up-to-date and accurate intensity values is ensured for the different Member States, should be encouraged when quantifying emissions related to the usage of electricity on the basis of up-to-date and accurate emissions intensity values for each Member State. A market-based approach is further desirable, provided that proper traceability is ensured, by means of an accreditable contract with guarantees of origin. The databases established by this Regulation should use figures based on a location-based approach.

Amendment  24

 

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 19

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
(19) The development and maintenance of the EU databases of default values for greenhouse gas emission intensity and greenhouse gas emission factors, as well as the technical quality check of external databases and datasets operated by third parties should be undertaken by a neutral and competent body operating at Union level. Given its remit, the European Environmental Agency is best placed to provide the necessary assistance for the proper implementation of this part of the Regulation. Where relevant, this work may rely on contribution from and be supported by other sectorial EU bodies, in accordance of separate Union law.

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
(22) It is appropriate to lay down common metrics to express greenhouse gas emissions output data that underlie the comparability of those data and allow for effective benchmarking of various transport services. Common metrics should also enable clear communication from a data provider and accurate understanding of this communication by a data recipient.	(22) It is appropriate to lay down common metrics to express greenhouse gas emissions output data that underlie the comparability of those data and allow for effective benchmarking of various transport services. Common metrics should also enable clear communication from a data provider and accurate understanding of this communication by a data recipient. In this sense, when determining distances, particularly regarding establishing emissions intensity, the Commission should specify the detailed rules regarding the use of the Great Circle Distance ("GCD") option within ISO14083. Those rules should not prevent the use of primary data regarding actual distance, such as in the rail sector.

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
	(23a) The disclosure of information regarding greenhouse gas emissions prior to the provision of a transport service is crucial to encourage an informed decision-making process by citizens and influences business decisions of entities organising and providing these services on the market. Therefore, information on greenhouse gas emissions related to a specific transport service should be disclosed by concerned entities and data intermediaries, whenever possible, before the provision of the transport service. However, information on greenhouse gas emissions may be revealed after the provision of the transport service, particularly when communications between companies need a more detailed level of information, notably in the context of logistics chains and subcontracting contract relationships.

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 28 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
	(28a) Greenhouse gas emissions accounting based on primary data could reveal the amount of fuel or energy consumed that is related to the assignments of specific customers, and therefore emissions can be reversely converted into the cost of operation. Especially in the freight transport sector, this negatively affects the negotiating power of SMEs. Therefore, large enterprises should not be allowed to request greenhouse gas emissions based on primary data from value chain partners, in particular from SMEs.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

On 11th July 2023, the Commission adopted the proposal for a Regulation on counting the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of transport services in EU (CountEmissionsEU) as part of the Greening freight transport legislative package.

GHG emissions accounting is a measure used in various economic sectors to generate GHG emissions data from specific activities of businesses and individuals. In the transport sector, transparent information on emissions of transport services empowers customers to make well-informed choices and influences business decisions of entities organising and providing these services on the market. Making reliable data on emissions available can encourage sustainability, innovation and behavioural change towards more sustainable transport options.

CountEmissionsEU provides a common framework for quantifying the GHG emissions of transport services based on an ISO standard. The objective is to improve the comparability of GHG emissions data shared in the entire multimodal transport chain. Additionally, the initiative aims to encourage economic operators and other relevant entities to increasingly adopt GHG emissions accounting, thereby contributing to the reduction of GHG emissions from transport services.

The Commission proposal does not make GHG emissions calculation or disclosure mandatory. However, it requires entity providing or organising a transport service using the common framework laid down in this proposal when disclosing data or if other Union laws or applicable national law requires such calculation and disclosure.

ISO standard 14083:2023

The Commission is proposing as the single methodology, the new ISO standard 14083:2023, for calculating emissions from transport services. This standard is recognised worldwide, thus creating the opportunity for global alignment.

Input data

In order to ensure comparable and accurate GHG calculation outputs, the Commission proposal prioritise the use of primary data. However, as primary data might be unattainable or prohibitively expensive for certain stakeholders, the use of secondary data, including default values, should be allowed under clear conditions. The Commission will create a harmonised set of default values that will be published in central EU databases while allowing the use of certified external databases developed by third parties. To encourage the use of primary data, the Rapporteurs make the use of primary data mandatory for all concerned entities, except for SMEs. They are also proposing that proofs of compliance issued by conformity assessment bodies should clearly specify whether concerned entities have used primary data. Finally, they plan to disclose whether external calculation tools support calculations based on primary data.

Entry into force and implementation

As part of the review clause, the Rapporteurs ask the Commission to assess the impacts of introducing a mandatory requirement for entities providing or organising a transport service to quantify and disclose greenhouse gas emissions.
