Abstract
The European Union includes the Environment as one of the four main target areas requiring greater effort. One pillar of EU environmental policy is the Greenhouse Gas Emission Trading System. In the EU directive 2008/101 it was held that aviation will be added to the system of greenhouse gases trading. Despite the relatively low volume of aviation emissions, the danger of aviation emissions emitted in the higher atmosphere tips the scales. Aviation will be part of the ETS from year 2012, but the most important decisions and customizations of the ETS system for aviation are to be done now. The involvement of aviation in the ETS presents many difficulties and problems, which need to be solved to allow the ETS to bring benefits to both aviation and the whole of society as well.
Highlights
The European Union includes the Environment as one of the four main target areas requiring greater effort
The European Union Greenhouse Gas Emission Trading System (EU ETS) mechanism is targeted on large emitters of carbon dioxide within the EU, about 11 000 operators which covers about 45% of EU carbon dioxide production
The EU ETS works on a “cap and trade” basis – each member country of the EU has its own limit of emissions which is covered by allowances which are redistributed between involved subjects
