A core Union database of default values for greenhouse gas emission intensities (core Union database) should be established to improve the comparability of greenhouse gas emission data obtained in the application of this Regulation. That core Union database should provide enough granularity and reflect the sectorial, regional and national specificities across the Union, and should include separate tables for each mode of transport. The Commission should ensure that the core Union database is updated regularly, and should assess on a yearly basis or more frequently the need for updates. The maritime shipping data should be derived from the THETIS-MRV database and complemented, where applicable, with other sources of information, such as the FuelEU database. However, given the sectorial, regional and national specificities of those default values across the Union, other relevant databases and datasets operated by third parties should be allowed on the condition that they undergo a technical quality check at Union level.
