Directive on a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community, in view of the implementation by 2020 of an international agreement applying a single global market-based measure to international aviation emissions
This procedure aims to amend the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) to include international aviation emissions. The goal is to align the EU ETS with a global market-based measure for aviation emissions, as agreed internationally, to be implemented by 2020.
This change will affect airlines operating within the EU and potentially those flying to or from the EU, depending on the scope of the international agreement. It seeks to create a level playing field and reduce aviation's climate impact.
