• Articles: 4

Article 1

Spain is authorised to apply a reduced taxation rate to electricity directly supplied to vessels, other than private pleasure craft, berthed in ports, provided that the minimum levels of taxation referred to in Article 10(1) of Directive 2003/96/EC are respected.

Article 2

This Decision shall apply from 1 January 2025 until 31 December 2028.

Article 3

The Decision shall take effect on the date of its notification.

Article 4

This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Spain.
