Some of the highlights of their work follow. In their assessment of aviation,
the EU determined that it contributes to global climate change and that its
contribution is increasing. Even though the EU’s total GHG emissions fell by
3 percent from 1990 to 2002, emissions from international aviation increased
nearly 70 percent. In spite of signicant improvements in aircraft technology
and operational efciency, it has not been enough to neutralize the overall
effect of aviation emissions, and they are likely to continue. Therefore, the
EU issued a directive to include aviation in the EU ETS, which was p
