"Mr President, Commissioner, the rapporteurs and members have spoken in depth about the content of the integrated maritime policy. I should like to focus on the issue of shipping emissions. It will, indeed, be no easy task, but we must include shipping emissions in plans to reduce overall emissions. In order to be effective, this is something which needs to be done as a matter of priority under an international IMO agreement. If no such agreement can be reached then, obviously, we shall seriously consider adopting regional measures at EU level. As Mr Danellis said, this will be no easy task and, if we are to have any chance of success, we need to follow the example of the aviation industry. These measures need to be applied on the basis of the port of call of merchant vessels and we must decide how to tax emissions. The ETS has proven to be fairly complicated and inefficient; we need to find a simple but effective solution; perhaps a carbon tax or other hybrid methods which are simple and effective."@en1
