Experts from national administrations, representatives of aircraft operators and verifiers of emissions under the EU ETS, as well as all other interested parties

Period of consultation

 

                        From 07.10.2008  to 03.11.2008

Objective of the consultation

 
 

The Commission is preparing for implementation of the emissions trading scheme (EU ETS) in the aviation sector. This includes the development and adoption of detailed guidelines and provisions for the monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of emissions and activity data. Such guidelines are necessary to ensure a harmonised application of the requirements of the directive to all aircraft operators regardless of their nationality and regardless of which Member States will be overseeing their compliance with the scheme.

As part of the process of developing the guidelines and provisions, the Commission has employed consultants Entec to examine the issues surrounding MRV in the aviation context.  This consultation has therefore been formulated by Entec to address key issues arising from their work.

Reason why the consultation period is less than 8 weeks

 

There is a very short time period available to get the guidelines and provisions ready for the start of the monitoring obligations in 2009.  It is therefore essential that the consultation period is reduced to 5 weeks to ensure that aircraft operators, verifiers and competent authorities have finalised guidelines in advance of the MRV requirements starting next year.
