Despite the presentation of a new compromise text to national governments on Thursday (25 April), no serious progress is expected on the review of the energy taxation directive before the next mandate of the EU Parliament and Commission .

The European Parliament has given the green light to the Zero Emissions Industry Act (NZIA), an initiative that seeks to boost industrial capacity for green technologies in Europe. The inclusion of clean fuels for maritime transport in the list of key technologies has been received with enthusiasm by the sector, especially by the European Community Shipowners Association (ECSA), which sees in this law an opportunity to accelerate decarbonization of maritime transport and ensure the supply of sustainable fuels.
