ICAO’s own proposal regarding emissions has been put
back until 2013.
Speaking yesterday, the organisation’s Secretary-General Raymond
Benjamin said that he expects a draft proposal to be ready by March rather than
at the end of this year, as previously reported.
In an interview with Montreal’s The Gazette, Benjamin confirmed
that there were four schemes being considered as an alternative to the EU’s
Emissions Trading Scheme. Each will be looked at and a vote taken by ICAO’s 191
members on a single initiative at its plenary assembly in September
2013.
The EU’s trading scheme is facing stiff resistance, with a
number of countries and airlines demanding that any such scheme should be
implemented by ICAO.
The European Commission said in March that is “has consistently
been clear that it will review its legislation only if and when a global
agreement to address aviation's greenhouse gas emissions is found in ICAO”.
