Description

This book provides a concise and convenient compilation of the EU directives and decisions concerning the inclusion of aviation into the existing greenhouse gas emission allowances trading scheme (ETS). An introduction has been added to set out the European and international context. Furthermore, some practical templates for reporting annual emissions and tonne-km data are included as well as a list of useful contacts.

The 2003 ETS Directive introduced emission trading for energy-intensive installations on an European level. Subsequently, the 2004 Linking Directive made further flexible mechanisms of the Kyoto Protocol available. In 2008 the Aviation Directive took EU ETS to the next level, as it included aviation in the scheme. This directive has been accompanied by the 2007 Monitoring and Reporting Guidelines (MRG), which were revised on 16 April 2009 providing detailed guidance as regards the determination of emissions and tonne-km data and streamlining the compliance cycle consisting of monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) duties.

The book is a timely and welcome addition to the literature in the field and should be of interest to anyone dealing with aviation and environmental law.

This book is volume 6 in our Essential Air and Space Law series, a book series set up with the aim of establishing a collection of prominent studies in this particular field of law especially for experienced practitioners (e.g. lawyers, policy makers in governments, national and international organisations and private entities), in addition to scholars involved in the research and study of air traffic and space law.
