Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
National Aviation Policy: Aer Lingus (Resumed)
Mr. Donal Moriarty:
The EU is very engaged on the subject and it is engaged with the ICAO. It is currently reviewing the effectiveness of the ICAO. The application of the ETS to intra-European flights applies for another two years. The Commission will review the potential applicability of the ETS beyond that to flights outside the EU but that start or finish within the EU. It is our view that this is not the correct approach, which would be to adopt the CORSIA global system, as Ms Embleton said, to establish a level playing field.
