".
The emissions from aviation are increasingly significant. According to the sector's own analysis, the world passenger aircraft fleet could double by 2020. That means an increase from 12 000 aircraft to roughly 25 000 aircraft by 2020. This has a significant impact and, therefore, what we do is important.
The Commission was aware of these problems months ago. There have been discussions with Coreper since July and there is definitely a common position between all 25 Member States and the Commission to keep all options open. We believe that this is the only way forward.
The next discussion in Coreper on the future strategy will take place next Friday. The Commission and Member States, with the UK taking the lead, are now working on alternative texts, as it is important to do the practical work. The Commission will also study the technical feasibility of introducing aviation emissions trading schemes into a general scheme and will look at different solutions in this area. The conclusions are expected in nine months, on the basis of which the Commission intends to propose measures.
Our position is clearly to keep all options open in order to be effective. We are grateful for the support of the European Parliament."@en1
