Recital 11
(11) The Union MRV system should also cover other climate relevant information allowing forlow the determination of ships' efficiency or further analyse the drivers for the development of emissions. This scope also aligns the Union MRV system with international initiatives to introduce efficiency standards for existing ships, also covering operational measures, and contributes to the removal of market barriers related to the lack of information.
