"The purpose of the proposal is to implement the upper limits agreed in the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) in 2008 on the sulphur content of marine fuels. The sulphur limits specified by the IMO are 0.1% in Sulphur Emission Control Areas (SECAs) from 2015 and 0.5% in other sea areas from 2020. The sulphur limit in SECAs currently stands at 1%. Fuel used on the open seas may contain as much as 4.5% of sulphur until the end of 2011 and thereafter up to 3.5% until 2019. The 0.1% sulphur content limit proposed by the Commission must be applied to all territorial waters of EU Member States up to 12 nautical miles from their coasts.
The Commission must explore, by the end of 2013, the possibilities of establishing new emission restriction areas in European sea areas, as well as methods for further reducing emissions, and then report on this to Parliament and the Council and table proposals for creating possible new sulphur and nitrogen oxide emission control areas."@en1
