Yes, aviation is a factor in climate change. Although aviation fuel has become increasingly efficient in the course of the last 40 years, total fuel consumption has at the same time increased because of the large growth in air traffic. A situation must be prevented in which aviation emissions become a long-term major contributor to climate change.
There is no quick technical solution. That is why it is vital to bank simultaneously on integrating the impact of aviation into the Community emissions rights exchange system and on pursuing research, improving the management of air traffic and introducing energy taxation.
This new sally against climate change should not, however, be engaged in at any price.
The system to be put in place must not penalise our European airlines in the world market, and any unfair competition with other forms of transport should also be prevented.
The choices shortly to be made by the Commission in its legislative proposal are therefore of vital importance, and the various options will have to be assessed very carefully.
I urge the Commission to propose solutions that are rational in both economic and environmental terms. It must avoid at any price creating a pernicious system in which the weight of bureaucracy puts European aviation out of the running in the international market."@en1
