EP calls for NOx and CO_2 monitoring

摘要

According to the EU shipping is a "growing source" of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the EU wants to engender a global approach to tackling GHGs and thereby climate change. As a consequence the European Parliament's Environment Committee overwhelmingly voted to strengthen elements of the European Commission's proposed monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) that it says will help decrease emissions from shipping.
