The fifth recital of Directive 2008/101/EC provides that the Union will seek to ensure that such a global agreement intended to contain global temperature increase includes measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from aviation and, in this event, the Commission ought to consider which amendments to Directive 2003/87/EC, as it applies to aircraft operators, are necessary.
La directive 2003/87/CE, dans sa version modifiée par le règlement (UE) no 421/2014, fixe certaines obligations incombant à la Commission à la suite de la trente-neuvième session de l'Assemblée de l'OACI (2016).
