The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 16 to supplement this Regulation with a view to elaborate the reference methodology referred to in paragraph 1, and to adapt it to the rules set out in Chapter III of this regulation as regards the approach for determining appropriate emission-relevant parameters for calculating greenhouse gas emissions before a service is provided, and, where applicable, other technical parameters related to the allocation of emissions or aggregation of data elements that are not explicitly explained in that methodology.

Justification

The reference methodology is essential to the functioning of the accounting system as whole. Therefore, the delegated act here will supplement the regulation in an important aspect.

Or. en

Justification

In situations involving subcontracted transport services, the main contractor should be able to accept a combination of primary and secondary data from subcontractors when measuring GHG emissions of an operation. This should be irrespective of the method chosen by the main contractor to report the GHG emissions of its own fleet. The main contractor should be allowed to add up the values when reporting, regardless of how the values were calculated (i.e. based on primary or secondary data).

Article 6 – paragraph 1

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

1. The Commission with the assistance of the European Environmental Agency, shall establish a core EU database of default emission intensity values referred to in Article 5 (2), point (a)(i).

1. The Commission with the assistance of the European Environmental Agency, taking into account the expertise of relevant stakeholders, shall establish a core EU database of default emission intensity values referred to in Article 5 (2), point (a)(i), within 24 months after the entry into force of this Regulation. When establishing the core EU database of default emission intensity values referred to in Article 5 (2), point (a)(i), the Commission and the European Environmental Agency shall produce a seperate table for each mode of transport and may take into account databases operated by member states and third parties which contain specialised regional or sectoral emission intensity values.

Or. en

Justification

The proposal does not specify the date by which the core EU database of default emission intensity values needs to be set up, so this should be clarified in the text. The establishment of an EU database will act as an important reference point for entities who choose to use secondary data. It is expected that entities that do not have the necessary resources to collect primary data will at first rely on secondary data, increasing the importance of swiftly having an EU database of default emission intensity values in place. For the technical details, it is important that the Commission involves experts from member states, as well as civil society and industry; their insights and expertise will be valuable in ensuring that technical rules and specifications are accurate, relevant and effective. The core EU database should make use as much as possible of the regional and sectoral expertise present in the member states.

Or. en

Entities should be able to rely on other sources containing default greenhouse gas emission intensity values in case the information is not available on the core EU database.

Or. en

Justification

In contrast to the central EU database, some national databases already exist. It therefore seems sensible for entities to be able to access this data as a transitional solution until the central EU database is established.

Article 7 – paragraph 4 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

4 a. The technical quality check of databases and datasets of default values for greenhouse emission intensity consist at a minimum of a comparison between emissions as reported by using primary data, and emissions as they would be reported using the database or default values. Databases and default values which do not reflect the resulting emissions compared to primary data reporting are considered to be failing the technical quality check. The preferred type of database (“peer-referenced transport performance database”) is based on regular primary data collected in a peer-group with sectoral and geographical differentiation, translated to emission intensity factors that can be used by SMEs. The technical quality check should be done on a regular basis but at least [twice] a year.

Or. en

Justification

Clarification of technical quality check. The amendment suggests a "peer-referenced transport performance database" based on regular primary data, providing a more accurate benchmark for comparison. This addition acknowledges the limitations of default values and databases and provides a comprehensive check that aligns with actual emission values.

External calculation tools are required to undergo a compliance check, with a positive evaluation resulting in a certificate of conformity that is valid for two years. Calculation tools used by entities in-house do not require any form of certification.

Or. en

Justification

Without verification, the integrity of any reported data is dubious. Given that the vast majority of enterprises active in the EU transport sector are SMEs, and that SMEs will hand on their emissions data to larger companies within the transport chain, SMEs should eventually also be mandated to perform verification. Otherwise there is a risk of handing on compromised data through the transport chain.

The proposal mentions that once output data has been generated by transport operators, it will undergo a verification procedure carried out by a conformity assessment body.
