ETS review sparks debate over future of green tax
- ECSA wants ETS folded into new IMO framework to avoid double taxation
- T&E argues IMO system alone would leave about 85% of EU emissions unpriced
- Applying ETS on an origin-to-destination basis could help prevent evasive port calls, say greens
Shipowner groups have argued the EU should scrap its regional emissions rules for shipping given the incoming global framework, while greens argue they should be kept on climate grounds
