The inclusion of the wording "stop over" is meant to avoid uneven competition in favour of third country's transport operators or a disruption of the level playing field undermining the competitiveness of EU transport services

| Text proposed by the CommissionThis Regulation applies to any entity providing or organising freight and passenger services in the Union that calculates greenhouse gas emissions of a transport service starting or ending on the Union territory and discloses disaggregated information on those emissions to any third party for commercial or regulatory purposes. | AmendmentThis Regulation applies to any entity providing or organising freight and passenger services in the Union that calculates greenhouse gas emissions of a transport service starting or ending on the Union territory, including incoming and outgoing transport services between the Union and third countries, and discloses disaggregated information on those emissions to any third party for commercial or regulatory purposes, either on a voluntary or contractual basis or due to obligations under Union or national law. |
While the scope of the proposal includes origin or destination points situated in a third country, it is unclear if non-EU entities will have access and the necessary resources to successfully calculate and disclose information on GHG emission data.

| Text proposed by the Commission1.

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. |
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.

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.

| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment4 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. |
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.

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

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.

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. This risks to be regarded as a prior official verification requirement for every operation, which would add an excessive administrative burden on transport operators and disrupt transport flows. Instead, it should be clarified that there is an annual verification (with potential further random checks to be specified in the delegated act).
