the following paragraphs are inserted after paragraph 3: ‘3-e. By way of derogation from paragraph 3, first subparagraph, point (c), shipping companies may surrender 5 % fewer allowances than their verified emissions released until 31 December 2030 from ice-class ships, provided that such ships have the ice class IA or IA Super or an equivalent ice class, established based on HELCOM Recommendation 25/7. Where fewer allowances are surrendered compared to the verified emissions, once the difference between verified emissions and allowances surrendered has been established in respect of each year, an amount of allowances corresponding to that difference shall be cancelled rather than auctioned pursuant to Article 10. 3-d. By way of derogation from paragraph 3, first subparagraph, point (c), of this Article and Article 16, the Commission shall, at the request of a Member State, provide by means of an implementing act that Member States are to consider the requirements set out in those provisions to be satisfied and that they are to take no action against shipping companies in respect of emissions released until 31 December 2030 from voyages performed by passenger ships, other than cruise passenger ships, and by ro-pax ships, between a port of an island under the jurisdiction of that requesting Member State, with no road or rail link with the mainland and with a population of fewer than 200 000 permanent residents according to the latest best data available in 2022, and a port under the jurisdiction of that same Member State, and from the activities, within a port, of such ships in relation to such voyages. The Commission shall publish a list of the islands referred to in the first subparagraph and the ports concerned and keep that list up to date. 3-c. By way of derogation from paragraph 3, first subparagraph, point (c), of this Article and Article 16, the Commission shall, at the joint request of two Member States, one of which having no land border with another Member State and the other Member State being the geographically closest Member State to the Member State without such a land border, provide by means of an implementing act that Member States are to consider the requirements set out in those provisions to be satisfied and that they are to take no action against shipping companies in respect of emissions released until 31 December 2030 from voyages performed by passenger or ro-pax ships in the framework of a transnational public service contract or a transnational public service obligation, set out in the joint request, connecting the two Member States, and from the activities, within a port, of such ships in relation to such voyages. 3-b. An obligation to surrender allowances shall not arise in respect of emissions released until 31 December 2030 from voyages between a port located in an outermost region of a Member State and a port located in the same Member State, including voyages between ports within an outermost region and voyages between ports in the outermost regions of the same Member State, and from the activities, within a port, of such ships in relation to such voyages.’ ;
