The EU Commission keeps
insisting on a more comprehensive approach towards cutting shipping emissions,
seeing the IMO’s decision from last year to introduce energy efficiency
measures for the design of new ships from 2015 as inefficient.
“Discussions about further global measures are
ongoing at IMO level, but we need intermediary steps to quickly deliver
emissions reductions, such as energy efficiency measures also for existing
ships,” Reuters cites the Commission as saying in a statement.
The EU Commission is tabling
various options such as setting up a monitoring, reporting and verification
system of emissions based on fuel consumption.
The IMO’s Marine Environment
Protection Committee is expected to tackle energy efficiency issues in greater
depth at this week’s meeting in London.
