Proposal for a directive
Recital 1
(1) Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council10 established a system for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Union, in order to promote reductions of greenhouse gas emissions in a cost- effective and economically efficient manner. Aviation activities related to all flights departing from or arriving at an aerodrome in the Union were included in the EU emissions trading system by Directive 2008/101/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council11 . __________________ 10 Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a system for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Union and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC (OJ L 275, 25.10.2003, p. 32). 11Directive 2008/101/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 November 2008 amending Directive 2003/87/EC so as to include aviation activities in the scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community (OJ L 8, 13.1.2009, p. 3).

(1a) In April 2013, the Union, under international pressure, discontinued the enforcement of certain provisions of Directive 2008/101/EC by introducing the so-called ‘stop the clock’ derogation, which excluded all extra-EU flights from the EU ETS. The derogation was put in place in order for the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to establish a global agreement on regulating international aviation emissions, and it has been extended twice, first until 2017 and subsequently until 2023.

(2) The Paris Agreement, adopted in December 2015 under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) entered into force in November 2016 (“the Paris Agreement”)12 . The parties to the Paris Agreement have agreed to hold the increase in the global average temperature well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1,5 °C above pre-industrial levels. Given that experts’ estimations, announced during the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), held in Glasgow from 31 October to 13 November 2021, indicate that the world is on a path to experiencing an average temperature increase of between 1,8°C and 2,4°C, the Parties agreed in their conclusions of COP26 to revisit their commitments, as necessary, by the end of 2022 to be back on track to limit global warming to 1,5°C. In order to achieve the objectives of the Paris Agreement, all sectors of the economy need to contribute to achieving emission reductions, including international aviation. __________________ 12 Paris Agreement (OJ L 282, 19.10.2016, p. 4).

(2a) Aviation accounts for 2-3 % of total human-induced CO2 emissions globally, positioning the sector, if it were a state, within the top ten world emitters. In the Union, direct emissions from aviation account for 3,7 % of total CO2 emissions. The aviation sector generates 15,7 % of the emissions from transport, making it the second biggest source of transport greenhouse gas emissions after road transport. While emissions from stationary sectors covered by the EU ETS have decreased by almost 20 % since 2013, aviation emissions have increased by almost 28 %.

Recital 3
(3) The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Council adopted the First Edition of the International Standards and Recommended Practices on Environmental Protection - Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) (Annex 16, Volume IV to the Chicago Convention) at the tenth meeting of its 214th session on 27 June 2018. The Union and its Member States continue to support CORSIA and are committed to implement it from the start of the pilot phase 2021-202313 . __________________implement CORSIA from the start of the pilot phase 2021-202313. However, in terms of its effectiveness in reaching the goals of the Paris Agreement as well as the Union's climate targets, CORSIA's level of ambition for the international aviation sector is not in line with the global level of ambition required to keep within the temperature goals of the Paris Agreement3a. The Union and its Member States should therefore be actively involved in climate diplomacy with the purpose of increasing the coverage of CORSIA and improving its environmental integrity, thereby ensuring that it effectively reduces aviation emissions. It is also important that the enforceability and the public access to information linked to CORSIA be improved. __________________ 3aAssessment of ICAO's global market- based measure (CORSIA) pursuant to Article 28b and for studying cost pass- through pursuant to Article 3d of the EU ETS Directive. 13Council Decision (EU) 2020/954 of 25 June 2020 on the position to be taken on behalf of the European Union within the International Civil Aviation Organization as regards the notification of voluntary participation in the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) from 1 January 2021 and the option selected for calculating aeroplane operators’ offsetting requirements during the 2021-2023 period (OJ L 212, 3.7.2020, p. 14).

Proposal for a directive
Recital 8 a (new)
(8a) In addition to CO2, aviation affects the climate through non-CO2 emissions such as water vapour (H2O), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), sulphur dioxide (SO2) and soot particles, as well as through atmospheric processes caused by such emissions, for example the formation of ozone and contrail cirrus. The climate impact of such non-CO2 emissions depends on the type of fuel and engines used, on the location of the emissions, in particular cruise altitude and latitude/longitude, and the time of the emissions/weather conditions. The International Panel on Climate Change estimated both in 1997 and 2007 that the effects of non-CO2 emissions from aviation are two to four times higher than the effect of aviation's CO2 emissions alone. Based upon those findings and the Commission’s Impact Assessment of 2006 on the inclusion of aviation in the EU greenhouse gas Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS), Directive 2008/101/EC recognised that aviation has an impact on the global climate through releases of non-CO2 emissions. The European Parliament, at that time, called, in its position, for a multiplier to be applied to every tonne of CO2 emitted, but no concrete measures were adopted. Article 30(4) of Directive 2003/87/EC, as amended by Directive (EU) 2018/410 of the European Parliament and of the Council, required the Commission to present an updated analysis of the non- CO2 effects of aviation, accompanied, where appropriate, by a proposal on how best to address those effects, before 1 January 2020. To fulfil this requirement, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) conducted an updated analysis of the non-CO2 effects of aviation on climate change and published its study on 23 November 2020. The findings of the study fully confirmed what had been previously estimated, namely that the significance of non-CO2 climate impacts from aviation activities are at least as important in total as those of CO2 alone.

Recital 10
(10) Achieving the increased climate ambition will require channelling as many resources as possible to the climate transition, in particular to achieve a just transition. As a result, all auction revenues that are not attributed to the Union budget should be used for climate-related purposes. For the EU ETS revision for phase four (2021-2030), an increase in auction revenues is envisaged within the aviation sector due to the phasing-out of free allowances and the extension of the scope to cover flights between the Union and third countries. The share of such increased auction revenues that is attributed to the general budget of the Union as well as the revenue from payments of penalties settled by the aircraft operators in accordance with Article 16 of Directive 2003/87/EC should be allocated to the Innovation Fund and used entirely for enabling a just and sustainable transition to decarbonisation of the aviation sector. That funding should be used especially for operational, aeronautics, airframe and new propulsion technologies, and sustainable aviation fuels that can reduce the climate and environmental impacts of the aviation sector, in particular the non-CO2 impacts of aviation. Funding should be inclusive in terms of involvement of stakeholders from public and private sectors representing a wide geographical and competence base across the Member States, and all information on the projects and investments supported by the Innovation Fund should be made available to the public.

(22) In order to ensure uniform conditions for exempting aircraft operators from surrender requirements as laid down in Article 12(8) of Directive 2003/87/EC in respect of emissions from flights to and from countries applying CORSIA in a less stringent manner in its domestic law, or failing to enforce CORSIA provisions in a manner equal to all aircraft operators pursuant to Article 25a(7) of that Directive, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission to exempt airlines based in the Union from surrender requirements in respect of emissions from flights where a significant distortion of competition to the detriment of airlines based in the Union occurs due to a less stringent implementation or enforcement of CORSIA in the third country. The distortion of competition could be caused by a less stringent approach to eligible offset credits or double counting provisions. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the CouncilApplying the EU ETS in conjunction with CORSIA would lead to the creation of uniform conditions and equal treatment for both Union and third country aircraft operators, in respect of emissions from flights departing from and arriving at Union aerodromes.

By way of derogation from Article 25a, paragraphs (4), (5) and (6), from 1 April 2025, aircraft operators shall surrender allowances for emissions from all flights departing from or arriving at an aerodrome located in the EEA in the previous calendar year. The provisions of this Article do not apply for emissions from 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. For emissions from 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, aircraft operators shall surrender allowances in accordance with Articles 3d and 3c. 2. The total quantity of allowances to be allocated to aviation, in accordance with Article 3c, shall be increased in 2023 to cover two thirds of verified emissions from the flights covered by this Article, to account for the increased scope following the completion of the surrendering exercise in 2024. The linear reduction factor specified in Articles 9 and 28a shall continue to apply. 3. To ensure that emissions are not priced twice for departing and incoming flights and to take due account of CORSIA's offsetting obligations above a baseline set at 2019 levels for the years 2021-2023 and set at the average of 2019- 2020 levels for the years 2024-2035, aircraft operators shall be reimbursed for the financial value of expenditure on credits which they had used under CORSIA for extra-EU routes. The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 23 to supplement this Directive in order to determine the methodology and mechanism for carrying out such reimbursement, which could require converting the financial value of CORSIA credits into EU ETS allowances. The Commission shall consider the average price of EU ETS allowances as the average price of the last year in which auctions on the common auction platform took place. To the extent that the financial value corresponds to EU ETS allowances, a corresponding quantity of allowances shall be cancelled rather than auctioned so as to preserve the level of the cap. 4. The use of EU ETS revenues linked to flights covered by this Article shall be as follows: (a) 50 % shall be used to finance projects through the Innovation Fund in line with Article 10a – paragraph 8 – subparagraph 2 a (new) to reduce aviation’s total climate impact and related social impacts, including through the use of prizes to reward zero emissions technologies as provided for in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/8561a; (b) 25 % of the revenues generated shall be used to contribute to UNFCCC climate funds, in particular the Green Climate Fund and the Adaptation Fund, to advance international action to mitigate the impact of climate change on the most vulnerable communities; (c) 25 % of revenues generated shall be used as determined by Member States in line with Article 10(3), including promoting projects aimed at ensuring a just transition for workers in aviation. __________________ 1aCommission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/856 of 26 February 2019 supplementing Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to the operation of the Innovation Fund (OJ L 140, 28.5.2019, p.8).’

By … [6 months after the entry into force of this Directive], the Commission, in cooperation with EASA and EEA, shall adopt a delegated act in accordance with Article 23 to supplement this Directive in order to establish a pilot monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) scheme with the objective of establishing a MRV methodology adapted to the specificities of non-CO2 emissions and their climate impact and to develop a robust CO2 equivalence calculation for non-CO2 effects. The pilot MRV scheme shall ensure that at least the following data at cruising altitude are monitored, reported and verified: (a) fuel flow-mass of aircraft; (b) ambient humidity; (c) latitude, longitude and altitude; (d) humidity and temperature; (e) emission indices for CO2, H2O and NOx; (f) CO2 equivalents per flight. All data reported through the pilot MRV scheme shall be published, aggregated on an airport pair level annually per aircraft operator. Data collected through the pilot MRV scheme shall be submitted to EASA, the EEA and the European Parliament annually. Aircraft operators may decide to adhere to the pilot MRV scheme. Those aircraft operators that adhere to the MRV pilot scheme shall be exempted from the payment of the multiplier referred to in Article 12(2a). By … [30 months after the entry into force of this Directive], the Commission shall present a report to the European Parliament and the Council on the results of the pilot MRV scheme, accompanied, where appropriate, by a legislative proposal to amend this Directive with a view to introducing MRV requirements for non-CO2 aviation emissions and to expanding the scope of the EU ETS to non-CO2 aviation emissions while specifying the amount of EU ETS allowances required to cover the CO2 equivalent per flight calculated under the pilot MRV scheme in order for the extended EU ETS for non-CO2 aviation emissions to be operational by 2026. Once the scope of the EU ETS has been extended to cover non-CO2 aviation emissions, the aircraft operators shall no longer be required to surrender two allowances to cover their non-CO2 effects. The participating aircraft operators shall surrender the amount of allowances required to cover the CO2 equivalents of their non-CO2 effects, as determined by the Commission in accordance with this paragraph.';

Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 9
Directive 2003/87/EC
Article 25 a – paragraph 3
3. The Commission shall adopt an implementing act listing countries other than EEA countries, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, which are considered to be applying CORSIA for the purposes of this Directive, with a baseline of 2019 for 2021 to 2023 and a baseline 2019-2020 for each year thereafter. Aircraft operators surrendering allowances under the EU ETS for emissions on routes to the countries listed in this implementing act shall be reimbursed for the financial value of expenditure on credits used for Corsia on the same routes, in accordance with Article 3e. That implementing act shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 22a(2).

Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 9 a (new)
(9a) Article 28b is replaced by the following: "Article 28b Reporting and review by the Commission concerning the implementation of the ICAO's global market-based measure 1. Before 1 January 2019 and regularly2027 and every two years thereafter, the Commission shall report to the European Parliament and to the Council on progress in the ICAO negotiations to implement the global market-based measure to be applied to emissions from 2021, in particular with regard to: (i) the relevant ICAO instruments, including Standards and Recommended Practices; (ii) ICAO Council-approved recommendations relevant to the global market-based measure, including changes to baselines; (iii) the establishment of a global registry; (iv) domestic measures taken by third countries to implement the global market- based measure to be applied to emissions from 2021; (v) the implications of reservations by third countries; and (vi) other relevant international developments and applicable instruments. In line with the UNFCCC's global stocktake, the Commission shall also report on efforts to meet the aviation sector's aspirational long-term emissions reduction goal of halving aviation CO2 emissions relative to 2005 levels by 2050. 2. Within 12 months of the adoption by the ICAO of the relevant instruments, and before the global market-based measure becomes operational, the Commission shall present a report to the European Parliament and to the Council in which it shall consider ways for those instruments to be implemented in Union law through a revision of this Directive. The Commission shall, in that report, also consider the rules applicable in respect of flights within the EEA, as appropriate. It shall also examine the ambition and overall environmental integrity of the global market-based measure, including its general ambition in relation to targets under the Paris Agreement, the level of participation, its enforceability, transparency, the penalties for non- compliance, the processes for public input, the quality of offset credits, monitoring, reporting and verification of emissions, registries, accountability as well as rules on the use of biofuels. In addition, the report shall consider whether the provisions adopted under Article 28c(2) need to be revised. 3. The Commission shall accompany the report referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article with a proposal, where appropriate, to the European Parliament and to the Council to amend, delete, extend or replace the derogationmeasures provided for in Article 28a3e, that is consistent with the Union's economy-wide greenhouse gas emission reduction commitment for 2030 and achievement of climate neutrality by 2050 at the latest with the aim of preserving the environmental integrity and effectiveness of Union climate action. (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A02003L3a. In line with the global stocktake of the Paris Agreement, the Commission shall also report on efforts to update the aviation sector's aspirational long-term emissions reduction goal of halving aviation CO2 emissions relative to 2005 levels by 2050 with a view to bringing it in line with emissions reduction targets under the Paris Agreement, as well as on efforts to achieve an ambitious long-term global aspirational goal for international aviation under ICAO. 3b. With a view to improving the CORSIA scheme, the Union and its Member States shall actively promote in ICAO and through bilateral and multilateral green diplomacy improvements with regards to CORSIA’s environmental integrity, including the sustainability criteria for offsets, its enforcement and encourage wider international participation to the scheme. The Union and its Member States shall also promote in ICAO additional climate and environmental measures, greater transparency and the establishment of an ambitious long-term reduction goal that is in line with the Paris Agreement."; Or. en 20210101&qid=1641400487-702)
