Amendment 17 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 6 a (new)
(6a) In order to ensure uniform conditions for Union aircraft operators and their competitors from third countries, to avoid carbon leakage and distortion of competition, the allowances to be surrendered under the EU ETS should be adjusted to the proportion of EU ETS-costs on intra-EEA flights allocated to passengers transferring to a final destination outside the Union – and vice versa – thereby minimising the risk of passengers selecting flights to their final destination with a transfer at an airport outside the Union.
