(11a) Emission offsets under CORSIA comprise one element in ICAO's basket of measures to achieve carbon neutral growth in international aviation and should be complemented by advances in airframe and low-carbon propulsion technologies. Continued funding for research strategies and programmes such as the SESAR Joint Undertaking, the Clean Sky Joint Technology Initiatives and Horizon Europe will be essential to technological innovation and operational improvements in order to move beyond carbon neutral growth and achieve sector- wide absolute emission reductions.

(15) In order to ensure uniform conditions for the use of international credits in accordance with Article 11a of Directive 2003/87/EC, implementing powers should be conferred on the the Commission toshould adopt athe list of the credits which have been considerthat ICAO has identified as acceptable byfor the ICAO Council to use for compliance of CORSIA, and that fulfil the eligibility conditions abovpurposes of CORSIA compliance.

(24a) The EU ETS Directive includes the possibility, under Article 29a, for the Commission to convene a meeting of government representatives if, for more than six consecutive months, the carbon price is more than three times the average price during the two preceding years. Nevertheless, despite the EU ETS experiencing unprecedented and harmfully excessive price growth since July 2021, this provision remains unused. The Commission should therefore prepare, as a matter of urgency, an evaluation for the co-legislators to assess whether Article 29a can be considered fit for purpose.

(27a) The endeavour to reduce greenhouse gas emissions on a global scale and minimise and reverse the negative effects of climate change is a global undertaking, and as such, the Union should encourage international partners to commit to additional actions beyond carbon neutral growth and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the aviation sector, including through ICAO, namely the Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection (CAEP) and upcoming Assemblies 41 and 42, as well as at the upcoming UNFCCC COP27 and COP28 summits;
