Recital 18

Directive 2008/101/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 November 2008 amending Directive 2003/87/EC so as to include aviation activities in the scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community (Text with EEA relevance) · European Union

(18) In line with the principle of better regulation, certain flights should be exempt from the Community scheme. To further avoid disproportionate administrative burdens, commercial air transport operators operating, for three consecutive four-month periods, fewer than 243 flights per period should be exempt from the Community scheme. This would benefit airlines operating limited services within the scope of the Community scheme, including airlines from developing countries.
