Recital 13 a (new)
(13a) The IMO adopted on 13 April 2018 an initial strategy on the reduction of GHG emissions from ships, seeking to cap the increase of those emissions as soon as possible and to reduce them by at least 50% by 2050 compared to 2008, and to pursue efforts towards phasing them out as soon as possible in this century. Work is currently ongoing at the IMO to adopt short-term emissions reduction measures, which are expected to be adopted by 2023 and will constitute the first step towards the achievement of the IMO’s 2050 objective. The EU should engage constructively with IMO Member States to reach a global agreement on the GHG emissions reduction measures.

(6) In April 2015, the European Parliament and the Council adopted Regulation (EU) 2015/757 on the monitoring, reporting and verification of carbon dioxide emissions from maritime transport20 (the “EU MRV Regulation”), which was complemented in 2016 with two Delegated Regulations21 and two Implementing Regulations22 . The aim of the EU MRV Regulation is to collect data on shipping emissions for further policymaking and to incentivise emission reductions by providing information on ships' efficiency to relevant markets. The EU MRV Regulation obliges companies to monitor, report and verify the fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and energy efficiency of their ships on voyages to and from European Economic Area (EEA) ports on an annual basis, starting from 2018. It also applies to CO2 emissions within EEA ports. The first emissions reports awere due by 30 April 2019. and were published by the Commission on 30 June 2019. The Union should defend a high level of ambition for CO2 reductions in the maritime sector both at international and Union level, while any new Union measures should not undermine the international competitiveness of Union-flagged ships. Therefore, the Commission should base any further measures, especially the possible inclusion of maritime transport emissions into the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), on a comprehensive impact assessment that adequately takes into consideration the competitiveness of Union operators and businesses. __________________ 20Regulation (EU) 2015/757 of the European Parliament and the Council of 29 April 2015 on the monitoring, reporting and verification of carbon dioxide emissions from maritime transport and amending Directive 2009/16/EC, (OJ L 123, 19.5.2015, p. 55). 21 Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/2072 on the verification activities and accreditation of verifiers pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/757 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the monitoring, reporting and verification of carbon dioxide emissions from maritime transport (OJ L 320, 26.11.2016, p. 5); Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/2071 of 22 September 2016 amending Regulation (EU) 2015/757 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the methods for monitoring carbon dioxide emissions and the rules for monitoring other relevant information (OJ L 320, 26.11.2016, p. 1). 22 Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1927 of 4 November 2016 on templates for monitoring plans, emissions reports and documents of compliance pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/757 of the European Parliament and of the Council on monitoring, reporting and verification of carbon dioxide emissions from maritime transport (OJ L 299, 5.11.2016, p. 1–21); Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1928 of 4 November 2016 on determination of cargo carried for categories of ships other than passenger, ro-ro and container ships pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/757 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the monitoring, reporting and verification of carbon dioxide emissions from maritime transport (OJ L 299, 5.11.2016, p. 22–25)
