"Mr President, I thank the rapporteur for her excellent work. I would have liked to see greater weight placed in this report on the matter of the financing of international climate actions, although I also strongly support the financial transaction tax. As for the financing of climate activities, last year, the work group set up by the UN SecretaryGeneral proposed a carbon tax as one option for emissions from international shipping. This should be taken seriously in the EU.
At the time of the 2008 Climate Package, we decided that, unless the International Maritime Organisation had established a global scheme for controlling emissions from shipping by the end of this year, the EU would take action itself, in the same way it did with air traffic. A carbon tax for shipping arriving in, and departing from, the EU would be a globally significant measure, as this would affect a third of all international shipping and would provide developing countries with a stable source of cash for their climate actions."@en1
