Marine Environment Protection Committee

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will set out the Government’s negotiating position ahead of the 79th session of the International Maritime Organisation’s Marine Environment Protection Committee.

Answer

The 79th session of the International Maritime Organisation's (IMO’s) Marine Environment Protection Committee runs from 12 to 16 December 2022.

The UK’s position on the matters, such as Greenhouse Gas emissions and ballast water, that will be discussed during this session has been consulted on and agreed by Ministers.

It would not be appropriate to set out the UK’s negotiation position while those discussions are taking place. The IMO will publish, on its website, a meeting summary after the session has concluded.
