ESPO exhorts the EU to make pressures on the IMO so that it defines a system in order to obtain a reduction of the emissions of the ships

December 16, 2016
The European Sea Ports Organisation (ESPO) has evidenced the necessity that the modalities in order to obtain a reduction of the emissions of the marine transport are defined and regulated to international level. The next day of the ballot of the Commission Ambient of the European Parliament that has adopted an own resolution that, taking note of delays in such sense in international within, it among other things previews to include from the 2023 emissions produced from the shipping in the system of exchange of emissions European (EU ETS), the association of the European ports has emphasized that, "being the marine transport a total industry and being the climatic change a total challenge", "the International Maritime Organization is by far the suitable within in which to face the problem and to find a solution".
"The agreement of Paris – it has observed Isabelle Ryckbost, general secretary of the ESPO - has sent a strong sign on the fact that the international cooperation is able to achieve turned out exceptional. The IMO – it has evidenced - is the just center in order to face the topic of the emissions of the marine transport. Near the IMO and in Europe – it has added Ryckbost – there is already consent on the fact that would have to increase the pressures on the IMO so that it intensifies the efforts and are completed progresses. It is becoming clearly that, if within the 2023 IMO will not define a objective of reduction of the emissions and measures for its performance, an initiative of the EU appears inevitable. We hope therefore – it has concluded Ryckbost referring to the recent reunion of the Committee for the protection of the marine atmosphere of the IMO - than the IMO will demonstrate to the same degree of ambition in facing the climatic change as it has made relatively at the best total on the polluting emissions agreed last October" ( on 26 October 2016).
