Summary

Transport & Environment welcomed the European Commission's pragmatic ETS and MSR review proposal, calling for its scope extensions and support for new technologies in aviation and shipping to be protected. The group also pressed for further improvements, including backing for eSAF and SMAP, contrails incentives and transhipment derogations.

The Commission’s ETS proposal is pragmatic and shows a willingness to improve the ETS for transport.

The proposal’s strengths should be protected, including extensions of scope and support for new technologies in both aviation and shipping that represent an industrial opportunity for the EU.

Key improvements remain, including support for eSAF and SMAP, contrails incentives and transhipment derogations.
