This Commission Implementing Regulation establishes a list of States that are considered to be applying the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) for the purposes of EU’s greenhouse gas emission trading system in 2024. The Regulation implements ICAO’s global market-based measure for reducing aviation emissions with a baseline of 85% of 2019 emissions.The Regulation consists of two main parts: the operative text explaining the criteria for inclusion in the list and an Annex containing the actual list of 93 participating States. EEA countries, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom are explicitly excluded from this list as they fall under their own emissions trading systems. Additionally, despite being CORSIA participants, San Marino and Monaco are excluded from the list due to having no airports and no relevant flight routes.Key provisions of the Regulation include:
- The list is based on States’ notifications to ICAO Secretariat about their intention to apply CORSIA for emissions in 2024
- The Commission must adopt such a list annually to reflect changes in ICAO’s published lists
- The list includes major aviation markets such as the United States, Japan, Australia, and Canada
- Ukraine is among the participating States, listed as number 87 in the Annex
- The Regulation applies directly in all EU Member States
