Dear MEP, fly in the face of bullying
On 19 March the Environment Committee will vote on a deal to restrict the aviation ETS to intra-EU flights only until 2016 (Stop the Clock).
We urge you to vote NO to this deal in order to secure a better deal for Europe.
Why? The ‘Stop the Clock’ till 2016 proposal is environmentally ineffective.
The Environment Committee voted in overwhelming majority for the more effective ‘airspace’ proposal in January 2014. Saying NO shows that the Parliament‘s voice matters when big Member States try to bully.
It’s our sovereign right to cover emissions in EU airspace. We must not cave in to international threats from Russia, China and the US.
vote NO
to the dismantling of the Aviation ETS
