Amendment 65 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4
Recital 4
(4) In order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from shipping at Union level the best possible option remains setting up a system for monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of CO2 emissions based on the fuel consumption of ships as a first step of a staged approach for the inclusion of maritime transport emissions in the Union's greenhouse gas reduction commitmentfor the collection of aggregated data of CO2 emissions as a first step of a staged approach that may be justified by the necessity of reduction of such emissions.
Amendment 74 #

Recital 11
Recital 11
(11) The Union MRV system should also cover other climate relevant information allowing for 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.

Recital 24
(24) The Union MRV system should serve as a model for the implementation of a global MRV system. A global MRV system is preferable as it could be regarded as more effective due to the broader scope. In this context, the Commission should share relevant information on the implementation of this Regulation with the IMO and other relevant international bodies on a regular basis and relevant submissions should be made to the IMO. Where an agreement on a global MRV system is reached, the Commission shouldall review the Union MRV system in view of aligning it to the global system.

(26) In order to ensure uniform conditions for the use of automated systems and standard electronic templates for coherent reporting of emissions and other climate- relevant information to the Commission and involved States implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission. Those necessary implementing powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 2011 laying down the rules and general principles concerning mechanisms for control by the Member States of the Commission's exercise of implementing powers23 . __________________ 23 OJ L 251, 18.9.2012, p. 49
