Overview

The EU's extension of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme to include the aviation industry took effect on 1 January 2012. The addition of airlines to the EU ETS has been the subject of intense and increasing criticism and attack - both at an industry and State level - over the last 12 months.

This briefing from Holman Fenwick Willan explains in detail how the Scheme works, how member states will be administered; the allocation and auctioning of allowances; buying, selling and trading allowances; the monitoring and reporting of emissions and surrender of allowances; penalties; and what aircraft operators should be doing to comply.
