(2)Directive 2003/87/EC was amended by Directive (EU) 2023/958 of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote to provide for an increased contribution by aviation to the Union’s economy-wide emission reduction target and to appropriately implement the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). That amendment maintains the scope of the EU ETS for intra-European flights until 2026 and applies CORSIA to flights of aircraft operators based in the European Economic Area (EEA), other than flights within the EEA and flights between the EEA and Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
