Amendment 11 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 1
(1) At the 21st Conference of the (1) Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) which took place in Paris from 30 November to 12 December 2015, an international agreement was adopted to strengthen the global response to climate change. The Paris Agreement, inter alia, sets out a long-term goal in line with the objective to keep the global temperature increase well below 2°C above pre- industrial levels and to pursue efforts to keep it to 1,5°C above pre-industrial levels. The Paris Agreement was approved on behalf of the Union by Council Decision (EU) 2016/1841. The Paris Agreement entered into force on 4th November 2016. In order to achieve the goal of the Paris Agreement, parties will prepare, communicate and maintain successive nationally determined contributions. Although international aviation was excluded from this agreement, this sector should also contribute to emission reduction targets, such as through a GMBM scheme to be introduced by ICAO.

Amendment 27 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 5
(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 until 2021, 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. 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.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6
(6) Given that key features of the global market-based measure have yet to be developed and that its implementation depends on domestic legislation by States and regions, it is considered appropriate for a review towill take place once there is clarity about the nature and content and of these legal instruments in advance of the start of ICAO's global market-based measure, and a report will be submitted to the European Parliament and Council. That report should consider any standards or other instruments adopted through ICAO, the actions taken by third countries to implement the global market-based measure to apply to emissions from 2021 and other relevant international developments (e.g. rules under UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement on carbon markets and accounting). That report should consider how to implement these instruments in Union law through a revision of the EU ETS. It should also consider the rules applicable to intra-EEA flights as appropriate. That report should be accompanied by a proposal as appropriate to the European Parliament and the Council consistent with ensuring the contribution of aviation to the Union's 2030 economy-wide greenhouse gas reduction commitment.

Recital 6 a (new)
(6a) The success of the CORSIA will largely depend on geographically wide scope of application, avoiding overlapping regional schemes and thus creating a true level playing field in the aviation sector.

Recital 6 b (new)
(6b) The revenues from the proceeds of future auctioning of allowances should be allocated to programmes aimed at reducing emissions in the aviation sector, and in particular to research and development and through the Ninth Research Framework Programme.

Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point -1 (new)
Directive 2003/87/EC
Article 3d – paragraph 4 – subparagraph 1
It shall be for Member States to determine the use to be made of r(–1) in Article 3d, the first subparagraph of paragraph 4 is replaced by the following: “Revenues generated from the auctioning of allowances. Those revenues should shall be used to tackle climate change in the EU and third countries, inter alia, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, to adapt to the impacts of climate change in the EU and third countries, especially developing countries, especially to fund research and development for mitigation and adaptation, including in particular in the fields of aeronautics and air transport, to reduce emissions through low-emission transport and to cover the cost of administering the Community scheme. The proceeds of auctioning should also be used to fund contributions to the Global Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Fund, and measures to avoid deforestation.
