欧盟海运碳税技术基础法规草案解读

Research on Technical Draft Regulation of EU Maritime Transport Carbon Tax

2013年继航空碳税之后,欧盟计划对海运征收碳税。作为碳交易和海运碳税征收的基础性技术文件《欧盟海运MRV法规草案》已经发布,预计2015年7月1日生效。该法规草案对碳排放的监测方案、报告和核查都作了规定,影响到船东、造船企业等多方面。本法规草案的出台,预示着碳壁垒作为新的技术性贸易措施(TBT)正式从幕后走向前台。

Besides the airline carbon tax, the European parliament and the Council levy the carbon tax plan on maritime transport. As the fundamental technical document of carbon transaction and maritime carbon tax, the EU Maritime Transport MRV Regulation Draft （No 525/2013） will come into force in July 1st ,2015 and effect ship-owners and shipbuilding companies by stipulating the monitoring scheme, reporting and verification of carbon emissions from maritime transport.It is a sign that carbon barrier gradually becomes a new technical barrier to trade（TBT）.
