Brussels, 19 November 2021
As stipulated in its 2022 Working Program, the EU Commission will introduce a legislative proposal entitled “CountEmissions EU” in the fourth quarter of 2022.
The initiative should provide a common framework for calculating the GHG emissions of transport in the passenger and freight segments.
By doing so, the EU seeks to tackle the current fragmentation of methodological approaches to calculate GHG emissions as well as the limited uptake of emissions accounting in the everyday business practice of the transport sector.
The EU Commission will base this upcoming legislative proposal partly on feedback received from stakeholders. To that end, the Commission has launched a first feedback opportunity which will remain open until the 17th of December.
Feedback can be provided via this link.
