In Germany, the upcoming amendment to the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Act (TEHG) will implement the amendments to the EU Emissions Trading Directive. A draft bill prepared by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection will be submitted for consultation with the federal states and associations as soon as possible following the initiation of interministerial coordination. Delays in the national legal implementation will not lead to disadvantages for shipping companies that are subject to reporting and reporting obligations. The monitoring obligations that apply to the shipping companies concerned are regulated in the EU Maritime Transport Regulation, which does not require transposition into national law and is directly applicable. The obligations under the EU MRV Maritime Transport Regulation continue to exist alongside the obligations under the EU ETS 1.
