The Commission has written to the European Energy Exchange (EEX) to put on hold the auctions for 2012 aviation allowances. This decision, on behalf of the Member States participating in the common auction platform, follows discussions with all Member States.
This request follows the Commission's 12 November 2012 announcement that it will propose a deferral of the enforcement of the requirements under the EU Emissions Trading System for aircraft operators to monitor and report emissions as well as surrender allowances in April 2013 for emissions from flights into and out of Europe during 2012.
