Aircraft operators will be brought into the EUETS as of 2010. As progress continues with the European Commission and the European Parliament in the agreement of the Monitoring and Reporting Requirements (MRG) to be placed on aircraft operators within the scheme, the dates for implementation are looming.
The directive sets out basic requirements for aircraft operators.
Technical reports on baseline Tonne-Kilometer (TKM) data and annual emissions data have been drafted for the Commission, to advise them on issues requiring clarification within the MRG .
