Energy Taxation Directive

This dossier concerns the Energy Taxation Directive. The amendments focus on whether fuel used for waterborne navigation and fishing should be taxed, with several proposing to maintain or remove exemptions for energy products supplied to fishing vessels; they invoke climate change, decarbonisation and fossil fuel subsidies, set transitional minimum-rate phase-ins, lower rates for innovative or selective gear, and call for impact assessments and reinvestment of fuel-tax revenues into small-scale fisheries.
