Environmental Committee of the European Parliament publishes its report on the Shipping MRV proposal

ENVI Committee voted 41 in favour, 7 against and 9 abstentions
Although the Commission had proposed to apply the Shipping MRV regulation only to ships exceeding 5000 T of gross weight, and to consider only CO2 emissions, the approved ENVI report is going in a different direction with the approval of several compromises:
- #3 , #2 , #5 will apply the regulation to ships from 400 T of gross weight
- #7 includes all greenhouse gas emissions, and not only CO2 emissions
The indicative plenary sitting date is scheduled on 16 April 2014.
