​What is the geographical scope of the EU ETS under stop the clock?

Reminder


Under the 'stop the clock' proposal from the European Commission (EC), aircraft operators have two options:
  1. Continue to report all Annex 1 flights (both 'extra-European' and 'intra-European' Annex 1 flights).
  2. Report 'intra-European' Annex 1 flights only. The condition is that aircraft operators return the allocated free allowances that correspond to the reported 2010 tonne-kilometre data in relation to 'extra-European' flights.
