(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 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 obligatit is considered appropriate allow for a derogation of in respect of 50% of the emissions forom flights to and from third countries should be extended, subject to the review on implementing the ICAO schemaerodromes located in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) pending the implementation of the global market-based measure, 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, for flights not subject to the derogation, should be the same as would correspond to 2016, and should be proportional to the reduction of the surrender obligation.

(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 to 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 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 appropriatee implementation in Union law of the ICAO global market-based measure should be through the EU ETS. Thate 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.

(7a) Aviation also has an impact on climate through releases of nitrogen oxides, water vapour and sulphate and soot particles at high altitudes. The International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has estimated that the total climate impact of aviation is currently two to four times higher than the effect of its past carbon dioxide emissions alone. Pending scientific progress, all impacts of aviation should be addressed to the extent possible. Research on the formation of condensation trails, also known as contrails, their evolution into cirrus clouds, on the smaller direct effects of sulphate aerosols, soot, water vapour contrails and cirrus clouds, and on effective mitigation measures, including operational and technical measures, should also be promoted. In accordance with Article 191 of the TFEU, Union environment policy is to be based on the precautionary principle. Pending scientific progress, and specific measures on nitrogen oxides and technical and operational measures to mitigate the other non-CO2 effects, a multiplier should be applied to carbon dioxide emissions from aviation.

Annex IV – Part B – Monitoring and reporting of emissions from aviation activities – Monitoring of carbon dioxide emissions
(2a) In Annex IV, Part B, the fifth paragraph under the heading entitled "Monitoring of carbon dioxide emissions" shall be replaced by the following: “Default IPCC emission factors, taken from the 2006 IPCC Inventory Guidelines or subsequent updates of these Guidelines, shall be used unless activity-specific emission factors identified by independent accredited laboratories using accepted analytical methods are more accurate. To account for non-CO2 effects, the emissions factors chosen shall be multiplied by two. The emission factor for biomass waste and residues shall be zero.”
