T&E would like to welcome the Commissions initiative to engage in a more open approach to policy making in the field of air transport and the environment.
This paper consists of three chapters. In the first chapter, T&E gives its general comments to the consultation paper on Air-Transport and Environment. In the second chapter, T&E gives its comments to each of the six action areas. In each area, the comments on the policy options comes first, and then the explanation of the choice for this comment, combined with the comments on the part describing the situation and the assessment. At the end of this paper, in chapter 3, comments have been made on the introduction of the consultation paper.
