In Brussels, representatives of shipping and finance meet
Vettosi (Confitarma): it is necessary to take into account the different aspects of the shipping industry
January 21, 2020
Vettosi also highlighted the need for a unified approach theme by industry organisations, both individual national associations and their coordination with ECSA and the International Maritime Organization (IMO), avoiding leaving room for private initiatives could only feed individual lobby of interest like that - Vettosi said, referring to an initiative recently by banks and shipping companies - Poseidon Principles for shipping decarbonization (
18 June 2019).
Subsequently, Vettosi summarized the work done ECSA in recent years and in particular in recent months, looking optimistically at the progressive entry into force Basel IV standards for the banking sector, which - it noted - didn't bring any harm to shipping. In particular - he recalled -- through the last two consultations in January and September 2019, European shipping has reiterated some requests Specific. "ECSA," Added Vettosi, "has also worked definition of the "Taxonomy" that for shipping will be defined by the Technical expert group on sustainable Finance (TEG) of the European Commission in the current six months and that, as we hope, it will serve to define shipping much more green instead of brown."
