(6) The Union undertook to reduce its economy-wide net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55 % below 1990 levels by 2030 in the updated nationally determined reduction commitmentntributions of the Union and its Member States submitted to the UNFCCC Secretariat on 17 December 202016. __________________ 16 https://www4.unfccc.int/sites/ndcstaging/P ublishedDocuments/European%20Union% 20First/EU_NDC_Submission_December %202020.pdf

Recital 8
(8) This amendment to Directive 2003/87/EC aims at the implementation for aviation of the Union’s contributions under the Paris Agreement, and of the regulatory framework to achieve the binding Union 2030 climate target of a domestic reduction of net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55 % compared to 1990 levels by 2030 set out in Regulation (EU) 2021/ … .(Does not affect English version.)

Recital 10
(10) Achieving the increased climate ambition will require channelling as many resources as possible to the climate transition. As a result, all emission auction revenues that are not attributed to the Union budget should be used for climate- related purposes.

Recital 11
Recital 11
(11) In accordance with Article 28b(3) of Directive 2003/87/EC, the Union is to assess the ICAO’s CORSIA scheme and to propose its implement itation as appropriate, and in a manner that is consistent with the Union’s economy-wide emission reduction commitment for 2030.
Amendment 97 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 12
Recital 12
(12) The total quantity of allowances for aviation should be consolidated at the level of allocation for flights departing from an aerodrome located in the EEA and arriving at an aerodrome located in the EEA, in Switzerland or in the United Kingdom. The allocation for the year 2024 should be based on the total allocation to active aircraft operators in year 2023, reduced by the linear reduction factor as specified in Article 9 of Directive 2003/87/EC. The level of allocation should be increased to take into account the routes that were not covered by the EU ETS in the year 2023 but are covered by the EU ETS from year 2024 onwards.Does not affect English version.)

Proposal for a directive
Recital 13
Recital 13
(13) Increased auctioning from the year after the entry into force of this amendment to Directive 2003/87/EC should be the rule for the aviation sector allocation of allowances, taking into account the sector’s ability to pass on the increased cost of CO2. The carbon leakage risk associated with increasing this share is not substantial, unlike in certain other sectors, and it is the free allocation of allowances that has a major negative impact on the intended incentive effect of the EU ETS.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 16
Recital 16
(16) To ensure that the necessary arrangements are in place for authorisation by the participating parties, timely adjustments to the reporting of anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks covered by the nationally determined contributions of the participating parties, and avoiding double counting and a net increase in global emissions, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission to enable it to lay down detailed requirements for such arrangements. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council19. __________________ 19Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 2011 laying down the rules and general principles concerning mechanisms for control by the Member States of the Commission's exercise of implementing powers (OJ L 55, 28.2.2011, p. 13).
Amendment 118 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 17
Recital 17
(17) For CORSIA implementation on flights other than flights departing from an aerodrome located in the EEA and arriving at an aerodrome located in the EEA, in Switzerland or in the United Kingdom, surrender obligations should be decreased for Union-based aircraft operators operating these flights. Aircraft operators’ surrender obligations for these flights should be decreasrestricted to only their share of collective international aviation emissions above collective 2019 levels, in respect of emissions during 2021-23, and above collective 2019-20 levels for subsequent years of CORSIA application.
Amendment 121 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 18
Recital 18
(18) In order to ensure uniform conditions for listing countries which are considered to be applying CORSIA for the purposes of Directive 2003/87/EC pursuant to Article 25a(3) of that Directive, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission to adopt and maintain the list of states other than EEA countries, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, which are considered to be participating in CORSIA for the purposes of Union law. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council.Does not affect English version.)
Amendment 126 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 19
Recital 19
(19) As CORSIA implementation and enforcement for aircraft operators based outside the Union is meant to belong solely to the home country of these aircraft operators, implementing CORSIA for flights other than flights departing from an aerodrome located in the EEA and arriving at an aerodrome located in the EEA, in Switzerland or in the United Kingdom means exempting aircraft operators based outside the Union from the EU ETS obligations for these flights.Does not affect English version.)
Amendment 132 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 21
Recital 21
(21) Flights to and from Least Developed Countries and Small Island Developing States, as defined by the United Nations, not implementing CORSIA, other than those states whose GDP per capita equals or exceeds the Union average, should be exempt from EU ETS or CORSIA obligations without an end date for the exemption. Historically, these countries have contributed the least to the increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, so the current climate ambition should not pose a risk of further exacerbating their underdevelopment and economic decline, bearing in mind that balanced global efforts are essential to meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement.
