United Kingdom
The UK Department for Transportation (DFT) will postpone implementation of the UK’s EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) program. The European Commission has been repeatedly delayed in its work to stand up the program, so government officials in the UK plan to wait until at least three months after the European Commission completes its work before moving forward on the program. The commission is expected to have its preparations completed by mid-August, but this deadline may also be missed. NBAA will continue to report on developments about the EU ETS; for more information, visit: http://www.nbaa.org/ets
