(7a) Aviation activities have an impact on the global climate through the release of carbon dioxide (CO2) and non-CO2 emissions such as oxides of nitrogen (NOx), water vapour, oxidised sulphur species and soot particles as detailed by the Commission in its report entitled “Updated analysis of the non-CO2 climate impacts of aviation and potential policy measures pursuant to EU Emissions Trading System Directive Article 30(4)’’ .

(13a) In order to be aligned with the level of ambition of the European Green Deal and in the context of safeguarding the European carbon markets from disorderly trading or abusive behaviour, specific measures should be foreseen to prevent financial speculation in European carbon markets.

(13b) The EU ETS Directive should contribute to incentivizing the decarbonisation in air transport. The transition from fossil fuels to an increasing percentage of uplifting of sustainable aviation fuels, especially synthetic aviation fuels, would play a role in achieving such decarbonisation. Therefore, a total of 20 million allowances should be reserved and allocated for free until 2030 for the uptake of sustainable aviation fuels, of which [XX%] are reserved for the uptake of synthetic fuels. Those 20 million allowances should be effectively earmarked to incentivize early movers and should come from the pool of total allowances available and should be used only for flights covered by the EU ETS and in a non-discriminatory manner. The Commission should provide proper accounting for the CO2 emissions from fossil fuels, and should rate synthetic aviation fuels as producing zero emissions for the aircraft operators using them.

(20a) To ensure that CORSIA leads to a single global offsetting scheme for tackling carbon emissions from aviation by the second and mandatory phase of the ICAO scheme in 2027, the Union has consistently argued in support of robust implementing rules and governance and adequate participation in CORSIA’s voluntary and mandatory phases. In the event that CORSIA proves to be insufficient as a measure to achieve the Union’s climate objectives and commitments under the Paris Agreement, other carbon mitigation options should be put in place.

(22b) By 31 December of the year following the entry into force of this Directive, the Commission should assess Union’s competitiveness, changes in prices of allowances, developments in the labour market, flight fares rates and ability of the aviation sector to pass on the cost of required emission units, household purchasing power, the magnitude of carbon leakage, the loss for European tourism destinations, the condition of European tourism sector and the reduction of connectivity on less- connected EU regions, among others by means of a comprehensive impact assessment of the Fit for 55 package.1a Following its result, the Commission should determine whether it is justified to revise this Directive, and, where appropriate, it should submit a legislative proposal for that purpose in order to reach global greenhouse gas emissions reduction in the most cost effective way and preserve a level-playing field. __________________ 1aCommunication from the Commission (COM/2021/550), 14 July 2021

As from [the date of entry into force of this Directive], the 20 million allowances referred to in paragraph 5a shall be allocated free of charge for the uplifting of sustainable aviation fuels on a non-discriminatory basis. Each aircraft operator may apply for an allocation of the allowances that are to be allocated free of charge for flights covered by the EU ETS until 1st of January 2030 based on the uplifting of the fuels referred to in paragraph 5a from [the date of entry into force of this Directive]. The quantity of allowances shall be proportionate to the total greenhouse gas emissions saved according to the treatment of those fuels under Directive (EU) 2018/2001 and the implementing acts referred to in Article 14(1) of this Directive. The Commission shall ensure that CO2 from fossil fuel is properly accounted for under the EU ETS. Where this is the case, synthetic aviation fuels shall be rated with zero emissions for the aircraft operators using them. The Commission shall publish details of the cost difference between kerosene and sustainable aviation fuels on a yearly basis. The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 23 to supplement this Directive concerning the detailed arrangements for the allocation of aviation allowances for free for uplifting of sustainable aviation fuels by covering the price difference per tonne of CO2 saved from using those fuels instead of kerosene.
