Recital 14 a (new)
(14a) In order to ensure uniform conditions for EU airlines and their competitors from third countries, to avoid carbon leakage and distortion of competition, the allowances to be surrendered under the EU ETS must be adjusted to the proportion of EU ETS- costs on intra-EEA flights allocated to passengers transferring to a final destination outside the EU – and vice versa – thereby minimising the risk of passengers selecting flights to their final destination with a transfer at an airport outside the Union.

Article 3 d – paragraph 2
(c) paragraph 2 is deleted, replaced by the following: ‘To avoid carbon leakage and distortion of competition, an adjustment mechanism shall be adopted for the proportion of EU ETS-costs on intra-EEA flights allocated to passengers transferring to a final destination outside the Union and vice versa. This adjustment mechanism is calculated as follows per aircraft operator: In accordance with Annex IV and by 31 March of each year, aircraft operators operating flights where the Treaty applies, shall report to the national competent authority and the verifier for every city pair the annual fuel consumption on individual connections and the ratio of the number of passengers with connecting flights into or out of the EEA ("transfer passengers") to the total number of passengers on this connection ("passengers"); The adjustment for each city pair equals: (number of transfer passengers / total number of passengers) x fuel consumption x emission factor; The cumulative amount of this adjustment mechanism for all city pairs together shall be deducted from the total amount of verified emissions, of which the corresponding allowances are to be surrendered by the aircraft operator in that same period.’;
