T&E denunciation that some head physicians Are marine of the EU stop the initiatives for the reduction of the emissions of the shipping



Between the nations of the European Union who less have engaged in supporting the adoption of measures in order to reduce the produced gas emissions greenhouse from the shipping would be some between the first marine States of the EU, that is Croatia, Portugal, Italy, Cyprus and, back marker, "most marine" Greece. It supports Transport & Environment (T&E), not governmental organization with center to Brussels that associates beyond 50 organizations with the scope common to promote to total level EU and politics of the transports based on the principle of the sustainable development.

In sight of the adoption of the initial proposal of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the agency of the United Nations, on the reduction of the emissions produced from the ships previewed in occasion of the next session of Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) that one will hold to April, that is beyond twenty years after the IMO is charged to make it from Protocollo di Kyoto of 1997, Transport & Environment has lead a search with the objective to classify the Member States of the EU based on their engagement in this within. Outcome of such search, that it has examined the 23 nations EU supplies of coasts and the Luxemburg that a naval registry also has active not being a marine nation, is that the European nations mainly engaged to support an effective climatic plan to adopt in center IMO would be Germany, Belgium and France continuations from Holland, Spain, Sweden, and then United Kingdom, Denmark, Luxemburg and Finland. It classifies is drafted on the base of observations written and oral subordinates to the IMO from the States EU.

T&E has evidenced that the relationship rimarca also the clean geographic division between the nations of northern Europe, that they demonstrate a greater engagement towards the attainment of an agreement for the reduction of the emissions of the shipping, and the States of southern Europe and oriental that show much less initiative towards this objective, with note the worthy exception - it has observed the not governmental organization - of the Spain that occupies the fifth position.

The T&E relationship finds moreover that, in the compilation of the ranking, the main naval registries of the EU - Malta, Greece and - Cyprus have obtained points almost exclusively negatives given to theirs almost total lack of engagement in negotiate on the climate.

"When in the 2017 European Parliament it has asked initiatives on the emissions for shipping - Faig Abbasov has denounced, marine official of T&E - the great European marine nations they have proclaimed with force that the EU would not have to impose norms on the shipping since all were making of their best so that the issue was faced in center IMO. However - it has accused Abbasov - these same States are now working in order to wreck a possible agreement on the climate in center IMO for the marine transport".

"April - it has concluded Abbasov - constitutes the last opportunity to act of concert for the industry of the shipping, the main States of flag and the IMO. The shipping it cannot more benefit from the efforts completed from other fields. This is an alarm bell for the EU. Or the governments of the EU, in particular those with important naval industries, are seriously engaged to achieve good results in center IMO or will have to accept solutions to out of the IMO".
