Stavros Dimas Emissions Quotations

We will be reviewing the functioning of the emissions trading scheme and proposing any necessary changes. A major task will be to check and approve Member States' national allocation plans for emission allowances for the trading period covering 2008-2012.

Extending emissions trading to the aviation sector will limit these emissions and ensure that aviation, like all other sectors, contribute to reducing the harmful greenhouse gases. Through emission trading, airlines will be able to do so at the least possible costs.
