Version française ici
This page aims at giving to aircraft operators for which the administering member state is France understanding and working tools on EU-ETS requirements.
Main dates:
- 31st August, 2009 : Deadline to submit monitoring plans (both for emissions and activity)
-
31st December 2009 : Approval limit of monitoring plans by the DGAC,
-
1st January 2010 : Beginning of the emissions and activity data monitoring
-
31st March 2011 : Deadline to submit emissions and activity reports and to ask for free allowances (associated to the activity report submission)
-
2012 : First trading period of one year
-
2013-2020 : Second trading period
Main concepts:
The European directive 2008/101/EC amending directive 2003/87/EC so as to include aviation activities in the scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community was adopted by the European parliament on 8th July 2008 and by the Council on 24th October 2008. It was published on the 13th January 2009 and applied since the 2nd February 2009.
All IFR flights (with MOTW bigger than 5,7t) to or from a country of the European Union are included in the scope of the Directive. In 2012, the aviation sector allocation of allowances will be limited to 97% of the historical emissions (mean between emissions of 2004, 2005 and 2006), and for the next period, the limit will be 95%.
Among these global amounts of allowances:
-
85% (for 2012) and 82% (for 2013 to 2020) will be allocated freely via a benchmarking procedure to the aircraft operators where the individual allocation for each aircraft operator is proportional to the (reported and verified) tonne kilometre that were flown over the course of the year 2010 (it is the same reference year for the two periods),
-
15% will be put up for auction,
-
3% (only for the period 2013-2020) will remain in the special reserve for new entrants and fast growing aircraft operators (growth of more than 18% each year).
The Commission Decision 2009/339/EC:
This Decision was published on the 16th April, 2009 and it amends the Decision 2007/589/EC. It defines the 31st August, 2009 as the deadline to submit monitoring plans for both activity and emissions. The corresponding templates are available at the end of this page.
These monitoring plans must be submitted to the following email address: ets.aviation@aviation-civile.gouv.fr
or, failing that, by postal mail to the following address :
DTA-SDD-ETS
50 rue Henry Farman
75720 PARIS CEDEX 15
FRANCE
You can consider that your monitoring plan has been submitted in time (before the dead line) only if you receive a message from the email address ets.aviation@aviation-civile.gouv.fr saying to you "We received your monitoring plan and the reception date is dd/mm/yyyy". If we do not answer, it is your responsibility to ensure that we really received your message or, if it appears that we didn't, to send it to us a second time (still before the deadline) ensuring, by the same procedure, that we received it.
For further questions do not hesitate to send a mail to: ets.aviation@aviation-civile.gouv.fr
