### (7) the union has been pursuing an ambitious policy on climate action and has put in place a regulatory framework to achieve its 2030 greenhouse gas emission reduction target. the legislation implementing this target consists , inter alia , of directive 2003/87/ec of the european parliament and of the council26 , which establishes a system for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the union , regulation (eu) 2018/842 of the european parliament and of the council27 , which introduced national targets for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 , and regulation (eu) 2018/841 of the european parliament and of the council28 , which requires member states to balance greenhouse gas emissions and removals from land use , land use change and forestry. ### (7) the union has updated the policy on climate action and has put in place a regulatory framework to achieve its 2030 greenhouse gas emission reduction target. however , this policy is not yet in line with the objectives of the paris agreement. the legislation implementing this target consists , inter alia , of directive 2003/87/ec of the european parliament and of the council26 , which establishes a system for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the union , regulation (eu) 2018/842 of the european parliament and of the council27 , which introduced national targets for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 , and regulation (eu) 2018/841 of the european parliament and of the council28 , which requires member states to balance greenhouse gas emissions and removals from land use , land use change and forestry.


### (22) in line with the commission’s commitment to the principles on better law-making , coherence of the union instruments as regards greenhouse gas emissions reductions should be sought. the system of measuring the progress towards the achievement of the climate-neutrality objective as well as the consistency of measures taken with that objective should build upon and be consistent with the governance framework laid down in regulation (eu) 2018/1999. in particular , the system of reporting on a regular basis and the sequencing of the commission’s assessment and actions on the basis of the reporting should be aligned to the requirements to submit information and provide reports by member states laid down in regulation (eu) 2018/1999. regulation (eu) 2018/1999 should therefore be amended in order to include the climate-neutrality objective in the relevant provisions. ### (22) in line with the commission’s commitment to the principles on better law-making , coherence of and complementarity between the union instruments as regards greenhouse gas emissions reductions should be sought. the system of measuring the progress towards the achievement of the climate-neutrality objective as well as the consistency of measures taken with that objective should build upon and be consistent with the governance framework laid down in regulation (eu) 2018/1999. in particular , the system of reporting on a regular basis and the sequencing of the commission’s assessment and actions on the basis of the reporting should be aligned to the requirements to submit information and provide reports by member states laid down in regulation (eu) 2018/1999. regulation (eu) 2018/1999 should therefore be amended in order to include the climate-neutrality objective in the relevant provisions.

### (3) the european parliament's resolution of february 2014 on a 2030 framework for climate and energy policies called on the commission and the member states to set a binding union 2030 target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40% compared to 1990 levels. the european parliament also noted that all sectors of the economy would need to contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions if the union is to deliver its fair share of global efforts. ### (3) the european parliament has progressively raised its 2030 greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions reduction targets , by first setting a binding union target by means of its resolution of february 2014 , subsequently followed by its resolution of 28 november 2019 declaring a climate emergency and its european green deal resolution of 15 january 2020 , which increased the target to 55%.

### (15) the objective of regulation (eu) 2015/757 is to monitor , report and verify co2 emissions from ships calling at eea ports as the first step of a staged approach to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. this cannot be sufficiently achieved by the member states but can rather , by reason of its scale and effects , be better achieved at union level. the global imo dcs should be taken into account and this regulation ensures the continued comparability and reliability of collected data based on a single set of requirements. the union may adopt measures , in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in article 5 of the treaty on european union. in accordance with the principle of proportionality as set out in that article , this regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective. ### (15) the objective of regulation (eu) 2015/757 is to monitor , report and verify co2 emissions from ships calling at eea ports as the first step of a staged approach to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. since the objective of this regulation , namely the continued comparability and reliability of collected data based on a single set of requirements having regard to the imo's global data collection system , cannot be sufficiently achieved by the member states but can rather , by reason of its scale and effects , be better achieved at union level , the union may adopt measures in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in article 5 of the treaty on european union. in accordance with the principle of proportionality as set out in that article , this regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective.

### (5) building on the 2011 union white paper on transport18 , in 2013 the commission adopted a strategy for progressively integrating maritime emissions into the union's policy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions19 . ### (5) building on the 2011 union white paper on transport18 , in 2013 the commission adopted a strategy for progressively integrating maritime emissions into the union's policy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions whereby after the implementation of a system for monitoring , reporting and verification of emissions , the next steps are the definition of reduction targets for the maritime transport sector and application of a market based measure19. in its communication of 2013 , the commission also stated that in the longer term an integrated approach to monitoring , addressing all air emissions , including sox , nox and pm , would provide the necessary clarity for policy-makers to make informed and consistent decisions across all pollutants , and for stakeholders to smoothly implement the new requirements. the commission also stated in this context that a review of the monitoring , reporting and verification scheme could be carried out at a later stage.


### (10) the impact assessment indicated that a partial alignment of the two monitoring , reporting and verification systems could contribute to reducing the administrative burden for shipping companies , while preserving the key objectives of the eu mrv regulation. such a partial alignment should however not modify the governance , scope , verification , transparency or co2 reporting requirements of the eu mrv regulation as it would severely undermine its objectives and affect its capacity to inform future policy-making decisions and to incentivise the uptake of energy efficiency measures and behaviours in shipping. any amendments to the eu mrv regulation should therefore limit the alignment with the global imo dcs in relation to definitions , monitoring parameters , monitoring plans and templates. ### (10) the impact assessment indicated that a partial alignment of the two monitoring , reporting and verification systems could contribute to reducing the administrative burden for shipping companies , while preserving the key objectives of the eu mrv regulation. this will also ensure the european fleet a level playing field at international level. such a partial alignment should however not modify the governance , scope , verification , transparency or co2 reporting requirements of the eu mrv regulation as it would severely undermine its objectives and affect its capacity to inform future policy-making decisions and to incentivise the uptake of energy efficiency measures and behaviours in shipping. any amendments to the eu mrv regulation should therefore limit the alignment with the global imo dcs in relation to definitions , monitoring parameters , monitoring plans and templates.
