THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 175(1) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ║,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions (2),

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (3),

Whereas:

| (1) | Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community ║ (4) established a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community in order to promote reductions of greenhouse gas emissions in a cost-effective and economically efficient manner. |

Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community ║ (4) established a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community in order to promote reductions of greenhouse gas emissions in a cost-effective and economically efficient manner.

| (2) | The ultimate objective of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which was approved on behalf of the European Community by Council Decision 94/69/EC of 15 December 1993 concerning the conclusion of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (5), is to stabilise greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system. The Community has repeatedly stated that, with a view to meeting this objective, the overall global annual mean surface temperature increase should not exceed 2 °C above pre-industrial levels. Recent scientific research and work indicate that keeping this long-term temperature objective within reach will require global greenhouse gas emissions to peak within two decades followed by substantial reductions in the order of at least 15 %, and perhaps by as much as 50 %, compared with 1990 levels. The levels of quantified reductions for States to make from 2013 to achieve the objective of stabilising greenhouse gas concentrations have not yet been fixed in the international climate change process. Whilst this Directive should be consistent with the EU's contribution to the long-term temperature objective, the methods and basis for allocation of allowances to aircraft operators under this Directive beyond that date should be kept under review in the light of scientific developments and the political developments at the international level. |

| (18) | Aviation has an impact on the global climate through releases of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, water vapour and sulphate and soot particles. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has estimated that the total impact of aviation currently is two to four times higher than the effect of its past carbon dioxide emissions alone.

However, none of these estimates takes into account the highly uncertain cirrus cloud effects. In accordance with Article 174(2) of the Treaty, Community environment policy must be based on the precautionary principle and therefore all impacts of aviation should be addressed to the extent possible.
  Air traffic management authorities should apply effective measures in order to avoid the formation of contrails and cirrus clouds through changes in flight patterns, namely by ensuring that flights will avoid passing through areas where due to specific atmospheric conditions the formation of such clouds is foreseen. In addition, they should strongly promote research on the formation of contrails and cirrus clouds including effective mitigation measures (e.g. fuel, engines, air traffic management) that do not adversely affect other environmental goals. Pending other legislation to be proposed by the Commission focusing specifically on the problem of nitrogen oxide emissions in aviation, a multiplier should be applied to every tonne of CO2 emitted. |

| --- | --- |

(b)

the benchmark to be used to allocate allowances free of charge to aircraft operators whose applications were submitted to the Commission in accordance with paragraph 2.

The benchmark referred to in point (b) shall be calculated by dividing the number of allowances allocated free of charge by the sum of the tonne-kilometre data included in applications submitted to the Commission in accordance with paragraph 2.

4.   Within three months of the date on which the Commission adopts a decision under paragraph 3, each administering Member State shall calculate and publish:

| (a) | the total allocation of allowances for the period to each aircraft operator whose application it submitted to the Commission in accordance with paragraph 2, calculated by multiplying the tonne-kilometre data included in the application by the benchmark published under point (b) of paragraph 3; and |
| --- | --- |

(a)

the total allocation of allowances for the period to each aircraft operator whose application it submitted to the Commission in accordance with paragraph 2, calculated by multiplying the tonne-kilometre data included in the application by the benchmark published under point (b) of paragraph 3; and

‘New aviation entrants’ means an aircraft operator which has been issued with an Air Operator's Certificate (AOC) for the first time subsequent to the start of a period referred to in Article 11(2) and has actually commenced operations in that period.

7.
     
  In the event of a merger or takeover involving several carriers during a given period, the allowances which have been allocated to them or which they have acquired shall be retained by the new entity. If a carrier ceases to operate, the Member State to which it is attached shall place the relevant allowances on the secondary market for allowances. At the beginning of the following year, the share of the allowances still available shall be allocated in full for auctioning, taking account of the general rate of reduction of authorised allowances.

8.
     
  On the basis of the experience acquired during the period 2010-2012, the Commission shall submit a proposal concerning the quota of emission permits the aviation sector is authorised to purchase on the secondary market for wider emission permit schemes.
