Proposal for a directive
Recital 2

(2) Consequently it is desirable to temporarily consider the requirements set out in Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council4 as satisfied, when obligations are met in respect of a certain percentage of the emissions from flights to and from aerodromes in third countries. In doing so, the Union emphasises that requirements can be applied in respect of certain percentages of emissions from flights to and from aerodromes in countries of the European Economic Area (EEA), in the same manner as legal requirements can be placed on more of the emissions from flights to and from such aerodromes. __________________ 4 Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC (OJ L 275, 25.10.2003, p. 32)deleted

Proposal for a directive
Recital 3

(3) While the application of Directive 2003/87/EC continues to be based on arrival at or departure from aerodromes in the Union, in order to be a simple and workable means to limit the application of regional market-based measures for the 7 years until a global market-based measure begins operation, the percentages have been calculated by Eurocontrol on the basis of the proportion of the Great Circle Distance between the main airports in the EEA and in third countries that is not more than 12 miles beyond the furthest point of EEA coastline. Since the Union does not consider that a global market- based measure should be based on actual airspace considerations, as compared to the arrival or departure from aerodromes, the relevance of the percentages is limited to the period up to 2020.deleted

Recital 6

(6) In order to establish a percentage of verified emissions for flights to and from aerodromes in third countries, whole flight emissions have to be known. However, no account is being taken of emissions not covered by that percentage.deleted

Recital 7

(7) In addition, in respect of flights to and from third countries, an aircraft operator should be able to choose not to report verified emissions from these flights but instead to rely upon a determination of estimated emissions taking place not beyond EEA Member countries from such flights that is as accurate as possible.deleted

Proposal for a directive
Recital 9

(9) The application of a percentage to verified emissions for flights to and from aerodromes in third countries, or the use of an alternative approach by operators, should relate to emissions from 2014 onwards to give time for operators to understand these approaches when planning their flight activities,deleted

Proposal for a directive
Recital 10

(10) Without prejudice to the global market-based measure applying from 2020, emissions from flights to and from countries which are developing countries and whose share of total revenue ton kilometres of international civil aviation activities is less than 1% should be exempted for the period 2014 to 2020. Countries considered to be developing for the purposes of this proposal should be those which benefit at the time of adoption of this proposal from preferential access to the Union market in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 978/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council, that is those which are not classified in 2013 by the World Bank as high-income or upper-middle income countries.deleted
