欧盟对于航空业的气候变化政策 EU's climate policy toward aviation

[摘要]欧盟打算把航空业并入EU-ETS,自2011年起欧盟内航线都要并入这个排放交易计划的第二期(2008-12)，自2012年所有起降欧盟内的航班也会并入。

The EU plans to include aviation in the EU ETS from 2011 for intra-EU flights, with ALL flights departing from or arriving in the EU included from 2012.

Aviation emissions are expected to be included from 2010, in Phase 2 -2008-12.The EU ETS was launched in 2005 and covers around 45 per cent of EU carbon dioxide emissions. Under the scheme, power stations, refineries and heavy industry across Europe are given a limit to how much carbon dioxide they can emit. Participants in the scheme must hold sufficient carbon dioxide permits to match their levels of pollution. Companies that exceed their permits must buy extra allowances from those companies who have managed to reduce their emissions – or pay stiff fines. The EU Emissions Trading Scheme is currently under review.

EU timetable FOR INCORPORATION OF AVIATION 时间表

1. Aviation ETS proposal published by the European Commission December 2006.
