Emissions Trading Scheme
Workshop: minimising aviation’s
compliance overheads
By now, most of us in the aviation
world are aware of the European
Union Emissions Trading Scheme
(EU ETS) and have heard that our
industry will be included in it from
2012, but how many of us know
what this really means?
The implications for the sector are
considerable, touching on matters
as diverse as administrative
processes and data confidentiality,
as well as financial concerns.
What, however, is the real significance
for those in the industry and
what steps do the various parties
need to take to become compliant
whilst keeping costs to a minimum?
19 February 2009,
EUROCONTROL
Headquarters, Brussels
Identifying the industry’s need to work
together and share information on how
best to approach implementation, and
appreciating the key role EUROCONTROL
could play as a provider of data to the
various actors within the scheme, the
Agency took the initiative of organising
an information-sharing seminar focusing
on cutting the costs of compliance. The
workshop ‘Emissions Trading Scheme:
minimising aviation’s compliance overheads’,
was held on 19 February and
attended by 130 delegates, representing
the aircraft operators, the competent
authorities which will be entrusted with
regulation at Member State level, the
European Commission, verifying organisations
and various industry value-added
service providers.
In his opening address, the Director
General, Mr David McMillan, stressed the
growing importance of the environment
within the aviation industry, as demonstrated
by its inclusion in the EU ETS.
He went on to emphasise that “the early
establishment of lean mechanisms in
support of the whole process is essential
to achieve the most efficient and effective
scheme possible, minimising as far
as possible the burden of compliance
costs,” adding that in a dynamic pan-
European industry, EUROCONTROL data
would have a key role to play in achieving
this. This drive to implement an efficient
and effective system whilst minimising
the costs of compliance formed the main
focus of the day.
The ETS will require the majority of
aircraft operators to provide a flight-byflight
account of CO2 emissions on a
yearly basis, which will then be measured
against a baseline year for the allocation
of emissions permits. With no existing
process in place for the collection and
verification of this data, it is possible
that many airlines will need to find extra
resources and implement new procedures,
creating an additional burden in
difficult financial times. One potential
way for aircraft operators affected by the
scheme to cut costs is through the provision
of data from EUROCONTROL, which
could streamline the reporting and verification
processes.
As EUROCONTROL already collects pan-
European data through its Central Flow
Skyway 51 - Spring 2009 45
Management Unit and Central Route
Charges Office, it presents a time and
cost-efficient way of meeting industry data
requirements. This idea was welcomed
by Brian Humphries, President of the
European Business Aviation Association,
who expressed the concerns of smaller
operators. He proposed a simplified
monitoring, reporting and verification
(MRV) process based on data provided
by EUROCONTROL facilities, which
could help to achieve compliance more
efficiently. The need for a simple and
universal administrative process was also
identified by Andreas Herdemen, Assistant
