"I voted in favour of this report because current emissions from marine fuels have a high sulphur content. They contribute to air pollution in the form of sulphur dioxide and particles that are harmful to human health and cause acidification. The draft directive aims to substantially reduce these emissions by enforcing the most recent International Maritime Organisation (IMO) rules in the EU. The costs relating to the new standards on reduced sulphur emissions could have negative impacts on the sector’s competitiveness and lead to a switch from shipping to land-based transport. As a consequence, Member States will be able to grant aid to operators in accordance with the rules applicable to State aid. Ships that do not respect these new limits will be required to pay fines to national authorities. These fines must be high enough to ensure that it is not cheaper to pay them rather than to comply with the rules."@en1
