The Ministry of the Environment provides pursuant to Sections 3 (14) and 55 (3) of Act No. 86 / 2002 Coll., on Air Protection and on the amendment of certain other laws (Air Protection Act), as amended by Act No. 92 / 2004 Coll., Act No. 695 / 2004 Coll., Act No. 180 / 2005 Coll., Act No. 385 / 2005 Coll. and Act No. 212 / 2006 Coll.:
Subject matter
(1) This Regulation (1) implements the relevant European Communities2) and regulates air protection
(a) the quality requirements for fuels used on inland waterway vessels (3) and seagoing vessels (4) flying the flag of the Czech Republic (hereinafter referred to as "marine fuels"), the requirements for sampling and verification of the quality of marine fuels, the manner and date of reporting of the sulphur content of those fuels;
(b) certification of the quality of marine fuels.
(2) This decree does not apply to the use of marine fuels
(a) research and testing;
(b) intended for processing before their final incineration;
(c) for further processing in the refinery industry;
(d) in vessels relevant for the purpose of ensuring the safety of vessels or saving life at sea;
(e) in the situations necessary to cause damage to the vessel or its equipment, provided that appropriate measures are taken to prevent or minimise excessive emissions after the damage has occurred; and
(f) on vessels using approved emission reduction technologies (5).
Basic concepts
For the purposes of this decree:
(a) any liquid fuel derived from oil suitable for use on board vessels and fuels listed in Annex 1;

Sampling and verification of the quality of marine fuels
(1) The distributor provides sampling to verify the quality of marine fuels. Sampling shall be carried out in accordance with the procedures set out in Annex 2.
(2) The analysis of the sample of marine fuel taken pursuant to paragraph 1 shall be carried out in accordance with the procedures laid down in Annexes 1 and 2 and the results shall be recorded (6).
(3) Monitoring of the sulphur content of marine fuels first placed on the market of the Czech Republic, which ensures the Czech Trade Inspection7) is carried out on a continuous basis by sampling of marine fuels from the distributor. Analyses of samples taken to monitor quality indicators of marine fuels shall be carried out by an accredited person (7), which shall issue an appropriate protocol on the outcome of the analysis.
(4) The procedures for verifying the quality of marine fuels used on seagoing vessels shall be laid down by the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships 1973, including the Protocol to the 1978 Convention, and shall be checked by the authorities of coastal States.
Certification of the quality of marine fuels
(1) A document certifying the quality of marine fuels (hereinafter referred to as the certificate) is issued by a distributor and is part of each supply of marine fuel. A sealed sample of the fuel supplied is also included in the certificate on the quality of the ship's fuel.
(2) The certificate on the quality of the marine fuel contains:
(a) if a legal person is involved, the distributor's identification data, the company's legal form, the address of the registered office, the identification number, if any; if it is an operating natural person, the name or, where applicable, the name and surname, the identification number, if assigned, the date of birth and the address of the place of permanent residence or the address of residence, or the place of business of persons who are not citizens of the Czech Republic;
(b) the type of marine fuel, its production name and combined nomenclature code 8),
(c) a declaration of compliance with the requirements laid down for marine fuel by this decree and the relevant technical standards, indicating the actual sulphur content, the date of the last quality control and the laboratory identification data which has been analysed;
(d) the weight of the ship's fuel supply;
(e) the date of loading of the marine fuel; and
(f) the name and surname of the person who issued the fuel certificate and the date of issue of the certificate.
Reporting of sulphur content of marine fuels
The quantity and sulphur content of marine fuels shall be notified annually by the distributor to the Ministry of the Environment by 31 March for the previous calendar year in accordance with point 2 of Annex 3.
Transitional provision
Paragraph 3 (1) shall apply:
(a) for the North Sea region as from 11 August 2007,
(b) for areas of other sea areas, including ports which are subsequently designated by the International Maritime Organisation as a sulphur emission control area, 12 months after the entry into force of this measure.
Efficacy
This decree shall take effect on the day of its publication.
