- ETS and FuelEU will be adapted if global measure is agreed at IMO, council agreed
- But more concrete legislation is needed to guarantee shipowners don’t pay twice, ECSA European Shipowners said
Brussels appears to have answered calls from shipowners by approving text that would allow EU climate measures to be adjusted if the IMO adopts a global measure
