Aviation ETS vote in plenary – No blank cheque for ICAO
Flights to and from Europe have been automatically re-included in EU ETS since the start of 2017.

The environment committee (ENVI) of the European Parliament adopted its report on this file in July, and the full Parliament will vote on it on September 13th.
