EU Panel Votes to Limit Concessions on Airlines Carbon Curbs

The European Parliament’s environment committee backed changes to a draft law on airline emissions that would end concessions on pollution from foreign flights four years sooner than the European Commission proposed.
The panel voted today to end in 2016 a plan where European Union limits on carbon emissions from international flights apply only to the portion of trips within the bloc’s airspace. The draft law was proposed last year to narrow the scope of emissions curbs on flights via European airports through 2020.
