Transport and Environment (European Federation for Transport and Environment), 28 Aug 2023

The organization requests that the ship size reporting threshold be changed to 400 GT. This alignment is necessary for upcoming changes mandating smaller vessels to report their emissions.

Administering authorities would lose oversight power if restricted from objecting to site visit waivers.
