Council Implementing Decision (EU) 2015/993 of 19 June 2015 authorising Denmark to apply a reduced rate of taxation on electricity directly provided to vessels at berth in a port, in accordance with Article 19 of Directive 2003/96/EC

Denmark is hereby authorised to apply a reduced rate of electricity taxation to electricity directly supplied to vessels berthed in ports, other than private pleasure craft, provided that the minimum levels of taxation referred to in Article 10 of Directive 2003/96/EC are respected.

This Decision shall take effect on the date of its notification. It shall expire six years thereafter. However, should the Council, acting on the basis of Article 113 TFEU, provide for general rules on tax advantages for shore-side electricity, this Decision shall expire on the day on which those general rules become applicable.

This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Denmark.
