Description
ABOUT THE SEMINAR
After lengthy discussions and several legal proposals, the European Union (EU) finally managed to agree on expanding the European Union EmissionTrading System (EU ETS) to shipping (including international shipping) starting in 2024. The extension takes place by amendments to the 2003 ETS directive 2003/87/EC on establishing a system for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Union, as well as to the 2015/757 regulationon monitoring, reporting and verification of carbon dioxide emissions from maritime transport, (the MRV-regulation). The consequence of theexpansion is that starting from 1 January 2024, it will be illegal for any shipping company calling on an EU port to emit CO2 without a permit. Thepermits are limited and come with a price. Infringements are penalised. The seminar will outline the ETS system and its inclusion of internationalshipping. The focus will be on the scoping provisions; to whom and what trades will the system apply? These questions have been subject to lengthypolitical discussions, together with the question of who will foot the bill. Will it be the Shipowner, the Charterer or somebody else?
