The Aviation Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme (Amendment) Regulations 2011 (revoked)
Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (“the EU ETS Directive”) established a scheme for greenhouse gas emission trading within the European Union, and was transposed in the United Kingdom by the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme Regulations 2005. The EU ETS Directive was amended, in particular, by Directive 2008/101/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (“the Aviation ETS Directive”) so as to include aviation activities in the scheme.
