Division MRV requirements

MRV requirements set out in the CORSIA are to become applicable as from 1 January 2019.

The rules of the European Union applicable in this field on 1 December 2018 are mainly contained in Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a system for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Union. That Directive is the legal basis for the detailed provisions in the matter, contained in Commission Regulation (EU) No 600/2012 of 21 June 2012 on the verification of greenhouse gas emission reports and tonne-kilometre reports and the accreditation of verifiers pursuant to Directive 2003/87/EC and in Commission Regulation (EU) No 601/2012 of 21 June 2012 on the monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions pursuant to Directive 2003/87/EC.

It should be noted that the European Commission is currently in the process of adopting regulations that are expected to remove, subject to the General points set out above, differences with the CORSIA Monitoring Reporting Verification requirements of the First Edition of Annex 16, Volume IV, with an expected entry into force before 1 January 2019.
