lpv:translated text	"Since 1990, greenhouse gas emissions from EU international aviation have more than doubled and now account for 5% – 12% of the total EU CO emissions. Although the compromise measure is far from perfect, it allows us to set limits to the aviation industry’s emissions beginning in 2012. By including aviation in the EU’s Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), we are sending out a message that we are serious about the causes of climate change. The next ten years will be crucial in combating climate change and avoiding irreversible damage. It is important that the general review includes a stricter demand on the aviation sector along with stricter reduction targets as and from 2013. Under the new regulations, Member States may use revenue form the auctioning of allowances for climate change mitigation and adaptation within the EU and developing countries and for promoting climate-friendly transport research and development. This investment is necessary if we are to fully reap the benefits of including aviation in the ETS."@en1
