IATA supports China's opposition to aviation in EU ETS.

摘要

The International Air Transport Association supports China's opposition to the inclusion of aviation in the EU's emissions trading scheme (ETS), as it is an infringement on the country's sovereignty. "China is the front line of state opposition to Europe's misguided plans to include international aviation in the ETS. The regional approach will distort markets," Director-General Tony Tyler said. He added that the unilateral action by the EU is in breach, of the Chicago Convention. "I have been clear in my communication with the Europeans that it is not a viable bargaining position for the directorate general for climate action to keep relentlessly saying that Europe has no option but to implement without compromise." Tyler said the optimal route would be through the UN's International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), which is currently working on four options.
