Bonsoir
AF/KLM et BA, Virgin, Cathay ! D'autres pourraient suivre !
Se regroupent pour générer de nouvelles impulsions, pour économiser le CO2 !
Devant le laxisme des organisations des airliners, mandatées pour avancer sur des propositions concrètes , ces 4 Airliners prennent l'initiative :! Bien !
Ne pas oublier que l'aviation, à échappé au Tokyo round, mais celà ne va pas durer éternellement !
Et ... avant de prendre le coup de marteau sur les doigts, peut être vaut 'il mieux essayer de garder l'initiative avant de reçevoir la cata de plein fouet (Et c'est plus facile avec des avions récents !)

Global aviation under pressure to deliver climate deal
By Aimée Turner

A group of four airlines worried that high-level climate change talks will end without any credible global deal have formed a new pressure group to speed progress by the world's airlines.
The new industry coalition, the Aviation Global Deal Group, brings together Air France/KLM, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Virgin Atlantic and UK airport operator BAA under the umbrella of environmental lobby group The Climate Group.
At its first meeting in Hong Kong, the group called for a "pragmatic, fair and effective global policy solution for the sector", in what it says is a contribution to top-level year-end climate change negotiations.
The International Civil Aviation Organisation, which represents 190 signatory states around the world, has been criticised for not acting swiftly or decisively as aviation comes under severe environmental scrutiny.
Emissions from international aviation were not included in the original Kyoto Protocol commitments and are not managed under any international climate change treaty.
ICAO's specially formed 15-member Group on International Aviation and Climate Change (GIACC) was tasked with making recommendations by the middle of this year on an agreed strategy to reduce aviation emissions that ICAO can propose at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) summit in December.
But its activities have been marked by Europe's insistence that if it does not move to introduce globally accepted measures, international aviation risks the serious consequence of being effectively overridden by international moves to hammer out a strengthened deal on climate change.
The Aviation Global Deal Group is calling for carbon dioxide emissions from international aviation to be included in a new global climate deal and that it must:
Offer genuine environmental benefits.
