The Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme (Amendment) Regulations, SI 2018/306, implement three changes to the aviation EU ETS with effect from 31 March 2018, following amendments to the EU regulation.
The changes:
extend the temporary ‘stop the clock’ derogation which restricts reporting obligations to intra-EEA flights until 2023;
lower the simplified reporting threshold to operators emitting less than 3,000 tonnes of CO2 per annum on intra-EEA flights; and
extend the exemption for small operators emitting less than 1,000 tonnes of CO2 per year until 2030. BEIS consulted on a draft of these regulations during December and January.
