measures, in particular the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) for new ships and the Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP), which will limit the increase in greenhouse gas emissions from part of the world's commercial fleet. Poland immediately transposed these requirements into national law. They are in force compliant with the provisions of the Act of 16 March 1995 on the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (Official Journal of the Laws of 2017, item 2000), as a result of ratification of amendments to the MARPOL Convention. However, SEEMP and EEDI do not yet guarantee the absolute reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping, the extent that the global temperature increase would be limited to 1.5C. Because of this, Poland continues to actively support and implement further emission reduction measures emerging in the global arena. On 28 October 2016, the IMO Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) adopted amendments to MARPOL Annex VI (Air Pollution Prevention Regulations) for a global fuel consumption data collection system. The amendments will enter into force on 1 March 2018. According to the global amendments, fuel consumption reporting will begin in 2020. A mandatory data collection system is to be the first step in a three-step process where the analysis of the data collected would be the basis for an objective and transparent debate on the reduction, possible emissions to be achieved in global shipping. This will allow you to make a decision on further measures to increase energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from international maritime transport. During the MEPC 71 session (July 3-7, 2017), a draft outline of the global IMO strategy for reducing greenhouse gases from maritime transport was developed, as well as reduction targets for shipping, emission reduction scenarios, and other measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The strategy is to complement the global actions stemming from the Paris Agreement, adopted on December 2015, when 195 countries agreed a legally binding global climate agreement. Instruments and arrangements for the reduction of emissions from shipping are implemented in the national law on a regular basis - in coherence with the solutions that result from the EU regulations. The agreed efforts to reduce CO emissions from shipping at EU level resulted in the establishment of a monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) system for CO2 emissions from fuel consumption by ships.
