The EU Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS) is designed to monitor and limit emissions. It is a cap-and-trade system that allows participants to buy and sell rights to emit a fixed amount of emissions. The EU's ratification of the Kyoto Protocol requires total emissions of greenhouse gases in the EU to decrease to 92% of their 1990 levels in the 2008-2012 period. In November 2008, the directive 2008/101/EC including aviation in the EU ETS was passed by the European Parliament. Aviation ETS became the first Emission Trading System specifically designed for the aviation sector.
Airlines affected by Aviation ETS will either need to cut down their own emissions and/or trade emissions in the European market and/or invest in emission reduction projects internationally, whichever approach is the most cost-efficient. In 2009, airlines and aircraft operators included in the scheme had to prepare, submit and implement annual emissions and tonne-kilometer monitoring plans.
Since the start of the first monitoring period on 1 January 2010, aircraft operators must monitor their aircraft emissions according to their approved monitoring plans, the MRG and the national legislation of their Administering Member State.
The next deadline is March 2012 when annual emissions reports must be verified by an accredited verifier and submitted to the Competent Authority.
