IMO on collision course with EU over CO2 emissions

EurActiv reported that the International Maritime Organization (IMO) seemed to be on a policy collision course with the European Union, having failed to make headway on market-based measures to curb carbon dioxide emissions from global shipping.

The Marine Environment Protection Committee of the IMO was unable to make 'tangible progress' after a week of talks that ended 2 March 2012.
