The Agency is well positioned to support the maritime dimension of the new Transport mission, which highlights on the one hand the role of transport for the free movement of people, services and goods, and on the other the transport sector’s responsibility to harness the potential of the twin climate and digital transitions and work towards sustainable and smart mobility. [...] In particular, EMSA will continue to assist the Commission in the initiatives linked to the Green Deal for Europe, such as the “Fit for 55” Package - which includes the implementation of the FuelEU Maritime Initiative, the extension of the EU Emissions Trading System to maritime transport and the revision of the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Directive - and in the implementation of the Smart an. [...] EMSA will also continue to support the Commission and the Member States in the implementation and revision of the EU MRV Regulation, the Port Reception Facilities Directive, the Sulphur Directive, the Ship Recycling Regulation, the Regulation on the prohibition of organotin compounds and the Ship Source Pollution Directive. [...] Assistance to the Commission and the Member States: a) in the examination of the feasibility and the implementation of policies and projects supporting the establishment of the European maritime transport space without barriers, such as the Blue Belt concept and e-Maritime, as well as Motorways of the Sea. [...] In the context of the process for the finalisation of the Impact Assessment and the potential upcoming legislative initiative, the Agency will provide assistance to the Commission and may be called upon to assist in the implementation and enforcement of the revised Directive and to enhance the portfolio of tools and services (capacity building, DONA, CSD, eCertificates, inspection databases).
