Summary of presentation Global role of EU shipping Current EU policy Priorities European shipowners Next steps

1. Global role of EU shipping

Global role EU shipping Employment 640,000 people employed – 516,000 sea based jobs and 124,000 land based jobs Sea based jobs ->40% are EU/EEA nationals (207 000) ->60% non EU/EEA nationals (309 000) Productivity per worker GDP €89,000 - EU all sectors’ average is €56,000

2. European shipping policy: Council conclusions June 2017

European policy Council conclusions June 2017 on "Priorities for the EU's maritime transport policy until 2020” REAFFIRM the added value of the Community Guidelines for State aid to maritime transport, and the need for a stable taxation framework in line with those guidelines, to maintain a global level playing field for EU shipping, further enhance the quality and attractiveness of flags of EU Member States, and create the conditions in which shipping can effectively contribute to the EU economy UNDERLINE that, in order to develop a world leading maritime transport industry in Europe, it is essential to provide stable, predictable and competitive framework conditions based on high international standards for safety, security, environment and social conditions;

European policy EMPHASISE the need to make the EU maritime transport sector attractive to future generations to avoid the European maritime cluster encountering a shortage of competent staff with the right mix of skills and competencies RECOGNISE in particular, the benefits of employing more women in the transport sector and STRESS the need to increase the participation of women in the maritime transport sector URGE the social partners to identify and develop common initiatives and attractive social conditions to promote European seafarer employment and enhance the attractiveness of the sector, e.g. by facilitating the use of modern communication means, including Internet access on board;

Key recommendations Monitor Deloitte study Formulate a comprehensive and globally oriented shipping and maritime policy in the EU Improve legal clarity around the application of the State Aid Guidelines Assess and ease the flag link eligibility criteria for entering the tonnage tax regime Avoid deviating from or going beyond IMO/ILO conventions in EU and Member State regulation

Identify all short sea barriers

Single EU market for shipping

PREVIOUS REPORTING STRUCTURE CUMBERSOME FOR SHIP’S CREW AND NATIONAL AUTHORITIES Previous Set-up Individual shipping companies “Paper based” reporting templates National maritime authorities “Paper based” systems between national authorities and shipping company Submission via emails, fax or use of ship agents Easy to “re-use” templates/ information per voyage Challenges Risk of errors and duplications in documentation Less transparency Time consuming from a national authority point of view

THE INTENDED REPORTING WAS GOING TO MAKE LIFE EASIER FOR BOTH SHIPPING COMPANIES AND NATIONAL MARITIME AUTHORIES… Intended reporting structure Intended set-up Individual shipping companies One electronic touch point reporting National maritime authorities Simplify and harmonize the admin burden when reporting “Go digital” Clear definition on intended set-up – however, the countries were responsible for developing their own systems Benefits (in theory) One single, simple reporting set-up for the shipping company and authorities Further transparency and easy sharing of data across national authorities

…HOWEVER, IT ENDED UP BEING A NON-COORDINATED APPROACH LEAVING THE SHIPPING COMPANIES WITH ADDITIONAL REPORTING Actual reporting structure Actual set-up Individual shipping companies Multiple touch point reporting National maritime authorities Member states have developed their own systems – no coordination from the industry’s point of view Shipping companies to report to multiple national systems Cumbersome online reporting Shipping companies to enter all information per voyage – no easy duplication of data Challenges High IT cost (EDI/infrastructure set-up for shipping companies) Online reporting is difficult for vessels due to little upload speed (satellite) Upload issues due to server capacity Unclear roll out – differs from country to country

Sustainability and innovation

Overview key environmental regulations/topics IMO April 2018: -50% CO2 emissions in 2050 compared to 2008 and ultimately full decarbonisation IMO and EU: short term measures before 2023 Global sulphur cap 0.5% 2020 NOx Tier III 2021 newbuilds North Sea and Baltic Black carbon Underwater sound

Promotion of profession of seafarer

Profession of seafarer 1. Social sector dialogue 2. Proposal ECSA and ETF maritime key statistics 3. EU funding for research project ECSA and ETF skills for the future – SkillSea 4. Women in transport and shipping 5. Lobby on EU proposals new or changed regulation – visas, recognition of non EU seafarers

4. Next steps

ECSA’s next steps Current EU shipping strategy expires in 2018 Preparing for the next mandate of the EP and Commission Global dimension is crucial Ambitions internal market in peril (single window) Industry can lead drive for new strategy Broad coalition of stakeholders And we also have Brexit, trade wars, protectionism, sanctions, migrants etc. to deal with……..
