"International maritime shipping is the only form of transportation that is not included in the EU’s commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. EU-related carbon dioxide emissions from international shipping increased by 48% from 1990-2007. The EU Climate and Energy Framework for 2030 sets a binding EU target of at least 40% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030 compared to 1990. In setting this target the EU identified the need for GHG emissions reduction in the transport sector.
It is important that the regulation is proportionate and workable in practical terms. I therefore welcome efforts made to minimise the administrative burden on ship owners and operators through the use of records already available. The approach proposed for reporting emissions on an annual basis will benefit operators in British waters, and is to be welcomed.
This agreement is an important first step in reducing CO2 emissions in the sector without introducing unworkable administrative burdens on the shipping industry."@en1
