Latest on ICAO Emissions Negotiations
Reuters has a report out today describing the latest developments regarding ICAO's efforts to manage aviation emissions. The proposal currently under consideration appears to be a commitment to some form of global market-based-mechanism, the details of which would be drafted and finalized by 2016, and which would take effect beginning in 2020.
According to the report, there remains disagreement about the interim rules on emissions regulation. As has previously been reported, the EU would be permitted to keep its scheme, but only charge allowances to foreign carriers for the portions of flights over the collective territory of EU member states. The United States is reportedly objecting to plans that would exempt many developing countries from the obligation to comply with the EU regulations.

Principato to Present Third Annual IALI/Chaddick Lecture
Greg Principato, past president of Airports Council International-North America, will present at the International Aviation Law Institute (IALI) and Chaddick Institute for Metropolitan Development's third annual lecture on October 21 at DePaul University. The title of his speech will be "Trouble on the Tarmac: Redirecting U.S. Aviation Policy to Promote Economic Growth."
Principato served eight years as president of Airports Council International-North America, before stepping down in June 2013. During his 30 plus-year career, he worked on a wide variety of aviation issues. His many achievements include serving as executive director of the 1993 National Airline Commission, helping negotiate a new air service agreement between the United States and Japan, working to develop a new global standard for aircraft noise, and helping negotiate an international airline alliance.
Each year, IALI and Chaddick invite an expert in national aviation policy and advocacy to discuss the role of commercial airports and their impact on U.S. cities and the national transportation network. Past presenters include Christa Fornarotto, the Federal Aviation Administration’s associate administrator for airports, and Professor John Kasarda, author of the book Aerotropolis: The Way We’ll Live Next.
Attendance is by invitation only. For more information, please contact IALI Executive Director Stephen B. Rudolph.
