This week, IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee is holding an extraordinary session of to consider adoption of the proposed carbon tax on shipping that IMO calls the “Net Zero Framework” (NZF). The session looks set to be contentious, to say the least.
In a brief statement released yesterday, the European Commission said:
“The EU supports ambitious global measures at International Maritime Organization (IMO) level with a view to decarbonize the shipping sector, and ensure a global level playing field. The EU views the Net-Zero Framework as a significant milestone and calls for its adoption at IMO next week.
“After the adoption, the European Commission will review the relevant EU regulations in place.”
That statement was released after an October 10 announcement re-stating U.S. opposition to what Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, and Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy called a “European-led neocolonial export of global climate regulations.”
