Recital 10 a (new)
Recital 10 a (new)
(10a) The EU ETS should contribute to effectively decarbonising air transport activities as much as possible. The transition from fossil fuels to sustainable aviation fuels will play a considerable role in that process. However, considering the high level of competition between aircraft operators and the important price differential between fossil kerosene and sustainable aviation fuels, this transition should be supported through economic incentives that reflect the environmental benefit of sustainable aviation fuels and make them more competitive for aircraft operators thereby avoiding carbon leakage. For this purpose, free allowances should be allocated to individual aircraft operators, in proportion to the amount of sustainable aviation fuels used and reported. The amount of free allowances allocated for free should be adjusted with multipliers in order to take into account that some types of sustainable aviation fuels deliver higher environmental benefits and are more costly to purchase for aircraft operators. The Commission should regularly review the level of the multipliers based on fuels market price information available in the report published by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency pursuant to Article 12 of the Regulation on ensuring a level playing field for sustainable air transport.
Amendment 41 #
(10b) An Aviation Transition Fund (‘the Aviation Fund’) should be established to provide funds to the Member States to support their policies supporting aviation transport sector decarbonisation. This should be achieved notably through development of innovative technologies for decarbonising the sector, production of sustainable aviation fuels as defined in Regulation 2021/02051a [FuelAviation] including systems for collection of raw materials for SAFs, investments in research and development and first industrial application of technologies and designs reducing GHG emissions, research for new aircraft engines and technologies, aircraft operation and performance, and airports infrastructure. The Commission should submit legislative proposals for the creation of an Aviation Fund in the context of the proposals for the MFF Mid-term revision. The Aviation Fund should be a fully budgeted expenditure programme within the MFF. The budgetary envelope for this programme should be expressed as an amount set at a level equivalent to 50% of the revenue expected from the auctioning of aviation allowances. The Fund shall be implemented by the Commission in direct management in accordance with the relevant rules adopted pursuant to Article 322 TFEU, in particular Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046 and Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2020/2092 of the European Parliament and of the Council. _________________ 1aProposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on ensuring a level playing field for sustainable air transport, https://eur- lex.europa.eu/procedure/EN/2021_205?ur i=PROCEDURE:2021_205

(10d) Free allowances should also be allocated to individual aircraft operators, in proportion to their share of flights using best available aircraft technology, which reflects latest generation aircraft within each of the aircraft types on a non- discriminatory basis. Such list of aircraft performing with margins to the New Type ICAO CO2 standard was defined by the Platform on Sustainable Finance in its [preliminary[1]]recommendations for technical screening criteria for the EU taxonomy, and should provide the basis for the Commission to issue its taxonomy delegated act in accordance with the EU Taxonomy Regulation 2019/2088.1a _________________ 1aInternal note: The preliminary report was published on 3 August 2021 and is due to be finalised in March 2022.

Recital 10 e (new)
(10e) Each operator shall report its share of flights using best available aircraft technology – in relation to their total emissions in a given year – to the competent authorities who shall request that the reported data is substantiated and verify the data. To reduce administrative burden on authorities and operators, the latter may choose not to report this share, resulting on no free allowances.

Recital 12
(12) The total quantity of allowances for aviation should be consolidated at the level of allocation for flights departing from an aerodrome located in the EEA and arriving at an aerodrome located in the EEA, in Switzerland or in the United Kingdom. The allocation for the year 20247 should be based on the total allocation to active aircraft operators in year 20236, reduced by the linear reduction factor as specified in Article 9 of Directive 2003/87/EC. The level of allocation should be increased to take into account the routes that were not covered by the EU ETS in the year 20236 but are covered by the EU ETS from year 20247 onwards.

(14) Directive 2003/87/EC should also be amended with regard to acceptable compliance units, to take into account the Unit Eligibility Criteria adopted by the ICAO Council at its 216th session in March 2019 as an essential element of CORSIA. Airlines based in the Union should be able to use international credits for compliance for flights to or from third countries that are considered to be participating in CORSIA. To ensure that the Union’s CORSIA implementation supports the Paris Agreement goals and gives incentives for broad participation to CORSIA, the credits should originate from states that are parties to the Paris Agreement and that participate in CORSIA,All offset credits under CORSIA should remain available to all carriers and double counting of credits should be avoided.

Recital 17
Recital 17
(17) For CORSIA implementation on flights other than flights departing from an aerodrome located in the EEA and arriving at an aerodrome located in the EEA, in Switzerland or in the United Kingdom, surrender obligations should be decreased for Union-based aircraft operators operating these flights. Aircraft operators’ surrender obligations for these flights should be decreased to only their share of collective international aviation emissions above collective 2019 levels, in respect of emissions during 2021-23, and above collective 2019-20 levels for subsequent years of CORSIA application according to a baseline determined by the ICAO Council.

Recital 22
Recital 22
(22) In order to ensure uniform conditions for exempting aircraft operators from surrender requirements as laid down in Article 12(8) of Directive 2003/87/EC in respect of emissions from flights to and from countries applying CORSIA in a less stringent manner in its domestic law, or failing to enforce CORSIA provisions in a manner equal to all aircraft operators pursuant to Article 25a(7) of that Directive, implementing powers should be conferred onor under a risk of market distortion, evaluated based on available facts, the Commission toshould exempt airlines based in the Union from surrender requirements in respect of emissions from flights where a significant distortion of competition to the detriment of airlines based in the Union occurs due to a less stringent implementation or enforcement of CORSIA in the third country. The distortion of competition could be caused by a less stringent approach to eligible offset credits or double counting provisions. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

Recital 22 c (new)
(22c) (28e) The Union and its Member States have consistently supported the development of CORSIA in the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Several design elements of CORSIA are inspired by the EU ETS. In order to preserve the credibility of the Union and its Member States in ICAO, it is therefore important to align the EU ETS with CORSIA as far as it is appropriate.
