ENEL SpA, 26 Sept 2017

As general principles, the revision of the Energy Tax Directive should aim at encouraging the deployment of the most efficient and less pollutant energy carriers.

UIRR, International Union for Road-Rail Combined Transport, 26 Sept 2017

UIRR has published a position paper in 2011 to greet the Barroso Commission's attempt to amend the ETD; unfortunately this proposal, while essentially correct, was withdrawn some years ago... UIRR maintains that: 1. The ETD is necessary, but substantially outdated. 2. Taxation should be based…

Consultation response

Havenbedrijf Rotterdam NV, 25 Sept 2017

The Port of Rotterdam supports the tax exemption for shore-side electricity. If the EU wants to decarbonize maritime transport, it makes no sense that (green)shore-side electricity cannot compete with on-board generated electricity which is produced from the combustion of tax exempted fossil fuels.…

European Producers Union of Renewable Ethanol, 26 Sept 2017

Consultation response

Transportföretagen TF Service AB, 15 Sept 2017

Our view is that the reduction of taxes on onshore power supply to ships should be reflected in the ETD. Sweden and Germany have temporary decisions of the COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION that apply until 25 June 2020. However, it is expensive investments both in ports and on ships, so the reduction…

Green Budget Europe AISBL, 21 Sept 2017

The primary objectives of the revision of the Energy Tax Directive should be to internalise external costs, promote climate change mitigation, and eliminate perverse incentives. The need for an EU-wide energy tax legislation is most obvious for the transport sector, since it is common that fuel…
