Recital 33

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

(33) The review of the functioning of Directive 2003/87/EC in relation to aviation activities should consider the structural dependence on aviation of countries which do not have adequate and comparable alternative modes of transport and which are therefore highly dependent on air transport and in which the tourism sector provides a high contribution to those countries’ gross domestic product. Special consideration should be given to mitigating or even eliminating any accessibility and competitiveness problems arising for the outermost regions of the Community, as specified in Article 299(2) of the Treaty, and problems for public service obligations in connection with the implementation of this Directive.
