Green light of the EU Council on the inclusion of sea transport emissions in the EU ETS
The redistribution of 3.5% percent of the shares auctioned to the most dependent states by shipping is planned. Proposals for transitional measures for small islands, for navigation in winter and for maritime trails subject to public service obligations
June 29, 2022
In addition, in view of the fact that this inclusion will affect the Member States most dependent on maritime transport, the EU Council has established the redistribution of 3.5% of the total allowances put up for auction to these Member States.
The general approach approved today by the EU Council also takes account of geographical specificities and proposes transitional measures for small islands, for navigation in winter and for maritime trails subject to service obligations public and strengthens measures to combat the risk of carbon relocation in the maritime sector.
Finally the general approach includes emissions from ships that are not CO2 in Regulation 757/2015 on the monitoring, reporting and verification of carbon dioxide emissions generated by marine transport (MRV regulation) to starting from 2024 and introduces a review clause for their subsequent inclusion in the EU ETS.
Among other deliberations of the Council of the EU, it was decided then that for self-transport, as well as for the construction sector, a new separate system of emission trading should be established.
After today's deliberations of the Council, negotiations with the European Parliament will begin to reach an agreement on final legislative texts.
