5. In the event of the adoption by the IMO of a global GHG fuel standard or global GHG intensity limits for the energy used on board by ships, the Commission shall, without delay, present a report to the European Parliament and to the Council. In that report, the Commission shall examine that global measure as regards its ambition in light of the objectives of the Paris Agreement and its overall environmental integrity. It shall also examine any issue related to the possible articulation or alignment of this Regulation with that global measure, including the need to avoid duplicating regulation of GHG emissions from maritime transport at Union as well as international level.
Where appropriate, that report may be accompanied by a legislative proposal to amend this Regulation, consistent with the Union economy-wide GHG emission commitments, and with the aim of preserving the environmental integrity and effectiveness of the Union climate action.
