Regulation (EU) 2015/757 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council require the collection, measurement, calculation and annual reporting of greenhouse gas emissions from ships and aircraft, respectively. Regulation (EU) 2015/757 and Directive 2003/87/EC are to a certain extent complementary to this Regulation, especially in terms of producing fuel-burned data as an input for quantifying emissions from transport services, for the distance travelled or the amount of cargo carried. It should also be possible to use input data for generating greenhouse gas emissions from transport services that originate from the implementation of other legislative frameworks, such as Regulation (EU) 2019/631, (EU) 2019/1242, (EU) 2023/1805 or (EU) 2023/2405 of the European Parliament and of the Council. Given that it is appropriate to refer to a common standard across all relevant Union legal acts in the field of transport, the Commission should strive to ensure the compatibility and consistency of this Regulation with existing Union legal acts and with future initiatives. In particular, the Commission should strive in forthcoming initiatives and in any secondary legislation to require any greenhouse gas emissions accounting of transport services on a disaggregated manner to be based on the common methodology referred to in this Regulation.
