Response to EU emissions trading system for maritime, aviation and stationary installations, and market stability reserve - review

8 Jul 2025

The Port Authority of Valencia (PAV) welcome the opportunity to contribute to the European Commission public consultation on the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and the Market Stability Reserve (MS). The PAV shares the commitment to decarbonizing the shipping industry and welcomes the initiatives taken by the Commission in this direction. It recognizes the inclusion of shipping in the ETS framework as a key step toward achieving the 2030 climate goals and carbon neutrality by 2050. Our Zero Emissions Port strategy is clearly aligned with these objectives. Nevertheless, we advocate for a ETS scheme that, at the same time, ensure the competitiveness of European ports while avoiding possible carbon leakage derived from the implementation of the principles of the ETS. This scheme should be aligned with global initiatives, in particular with the new IMO framework aimed at achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 and expected in October 2025.
