What does the Commission's progressive approach to addressing maritime emissions consist of?
The strategy set out in the Communication consists of three consecutive steps:
• The system of MRV of emissions proposed in June 2013;
• The setting of reduction targets for the maritime transport sector;
• The application of further measures, including market-based measures (MBMs), in the medium to long term.
Priority is given to establishing an MRV system because it is necessary for the subsequent two steps. Robust MRV of emissions will deliver reliable data for setting emission reduction
targets. It is also a prerequisite for any market-based measure or efficiency standard,
whether applied at EU level or globally.
