The EU needs to cut emissions by at least 65% in 2030 to honor the Paris Agreement objective of keeping global temperature rise to 1.5°C. In order to deliver the necessary emission reductions in a socially fair and cost-effective manner, a holistic and comprehensive approach towards the entire policy architecture is needed.

In our opinion, it is recommended to phase out the free allowances for the aviation earlier than assumed in the draft amendments to the Directive 2003/87/EC It is in perfect to maintain the current level of free allowances in aviation (worth about EUR 800 million in 2019) and the proposal to phase them out by 25 % in 2024, 50 % in 2025, 75 % in 2026 and 100 % in 2027.

In light of the worsening climate crisis, the primary objective of the ETS revision is to strengthen its ambition in line with the Paris Agreement goal of limiting temperature rise to 1.5°C. This requires the EU ETS target to be increased to at least 70% emission reductions in 2030, compared to 2005 levels, in order to allow the EU to overshoot its -55% net emissions target and cut total emissions by at least 65% by…

CAN Europe welcomes the initiative of bringing the Energy Taxation Directive (ETD) and the wider EU and national taxation policies in line with the EU's climate commitments. We are strongly in favour of eliminating all subsidies and tax breaks for fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas.

The aviation sector’s emissions have been growing much faster than other sectors around the world. At the same time the sector continues benefitting from numerous privileges in the EU, ranging from free allocation of allowances under the EU ETS, exemption from fuel taxes, exemption from VAT on international flights, state aid (e.g.

On the topic of the implementation of the CORSIA regulations, we grant a full approval for the obligation to adapt the current European regulations and the provisions of individual Member States.
