The European Parliament (EP)’s Committee on Environment, Public Health and Food Safety (ENVI) adopted its report on the revision of the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) with 62 votes for, 20 against and five abstentions.
As requested several times by the parliament, the ETS would now finally be extended to maritime transport. EP members want to cover 100% of emissions from intra-European routes as of 2024 and 50% of emissions from extra-European routes from and to the EU as of 2024 until end of 2026. From 2027 emissions from all trips should be covered 100% with possible derogations for non-EU countries where coverage could be reduced to 50% subject to certain conditions.
