(3) A binding target of at least a 40% domestic reduction in economy-wide greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 compared to 1990 was set by the European Council of 23-24 October 2014. The Council meeting on 6 March 2015 formally approved this contribution of the Union and its Member States as their Intended Nationally Determined Contribution under the Paris Agreement. The European Council conclusions of October 2014 foresaw that the target should be delivered collectively by the Union in the most cost- effective manner possible, with the reductions in the Emissions Trading System (ETS) and non-ETS sectors amounting to 43% and 30% by 2030 compared to 2005 respectively. All sectors of the economy should contribute to achieving these emission reductions and in order to do so, a platform for exchanging best practices and lessons learned in the sector of low-emission mobility among Member States should be provided by the Commission.

(5) In the light of the resolution adopted at ICAO's 39th Assembly in October 2016 on the implementation of a global market-based measure from 2021 to offset international aviation emissions above 2020 levels, it is considered appropriate to continue the existing derogation pending further progress on the design elements and the implementation of the global market-based measure. In this regard, the adoption of Standards and Recommended Practices by ICAO to complement that Resolution and implement the global system is planned for 2018. However, its concrete operationalisation will require action by ICAO parties at domestic level. Also, governance arrangements must be developed by ICAO, including a registry system. In this context, the current derogation of the EU ETS obligations for flights to and from third countries should be extended, subject to the review on implementing the ICAO scheme, in order to promote momentum in ICAO and facilitate the operationalisation of the ICAO scheme. If, however, any such scheme is not achieved by the end of 2021, the extra-EEA aviation activities should be included under the EU ETS and a fund should be established for aviation operators´ contributions and collective compliance relating to CO2 emissions already covered by requirements for monitoring, reporting and verification of greenhouse gas emissions under Commission Regulation (EU) No 601/2012 and Commission Regulation (EU) No 600/2012. As a result of the extension of the derogation, the amount of allowances to be auctioned and issued for free, including from the special reserve, should be the same as would correspond to 2016, and should be proportional to the reduction of the surrender obligation. Additionally, a share of revenues from the auction of allowances to the aviation sector should be used to improve energy efficiency and support investments in innovative technologies for the reduction of CO2 emissions in the aviation sector.

(7a) Given its voluntary nature in the short and medium term, the ICAO scheme alone will be insufficient. Therefore the speedy implementation of the Single European Sky is of key importance, as the current fragmentation of European air space results in increased CO2 emissions.

(6b) Aviation has an impact on climate also through releases of nitrogen oxides, water vapour and sulphate and particles at high altitudes. It is highly important to take action in order to address the non- CO2 effects in aviation in view of increasing scientific evidence. Therefore, pending scientific progress, all impacts of aviation should be addressed.
