| Popis | Since the European Commission announced the European Green Deal, it has become a phenomenon. Some say this strategic policy is too ambitious, and others say it is not ambitious enough. The scope of the Green Deal is a broad one. It encompasses clean energy, sustainable farming, sustainable industry, biodiversity, sustainable mobility, etc. Even though the scope is broad, the ultimate goal of the Green Deal is just one – to become the first carbon-neutral continent. As the scope of the Green Deal is vast, this paper aims only at one integral topic – the sustainable transport sector. Of course, the transport sector involves many various fields and issues. Therefore this paper will only focus on legal regulation of greenhouse gasses (GHG) in the aviation, maritime, and passenger cars sectors. These sectors make up about 60 % of all GHG emissions in the transport sector in the EU, therefore stricter regulation of these sectors might benefit the EU’s net-zero target and also, from a long-term perspective, even consumers. This article aims to ascertain how the EU has been regulating GHG emissions in the aviation and maritime sector and passenger cars sector and how the EU plans to change it with the Green Deal. The aim of this article will be fulfilled by an analysis of relevant and current legal regulation of GHG emissions in the aviation, maritime, and passenger cars sectors. The second part of this article will focus on possible changes to previously identified legal regulation within Green Deal policy. |
