In December 2006, The European Commission proposed to set carbon dioxide emission quotas for airlines from 2011, a stance already met with hostility by the aviation industry and environmentalists. The proposal, which still has to be adopted by EU member states and the European Parliament, would see emissions rules imposed from 2011 on intra-European flights and from 2012 for flights originating outside the bloc.
It would cover both EU and foreign aircraft operators and the quotas would be based on emission levels from last year.
The quotas would be part of the EU's Emissions Trading Scheme. That would allow airlines to sell surplus quotas if they cut back emissions far enough or would be forced to buy additional allowances if they produce too many.
EU planes account for about half the industry's carbon dioxide emissions world-wide.
But when will all these proposals take place. It just seems like a whole bunch of hopless promises.
