The EC warned Poland, Cyprus, Estonia and Germany Wednesday to include aviation in national legislation on the Emissions Trading Scheme's (ETS) - which began in 2005 - otherwise Poland could face financial penalties, a measure put in place by the Lisbon Treaty.

Aviation will be part of the ETS, a cap-and-trade system to reduce CO2 emissions in Europe. The allowances to be issued each year represents a reduction target of minus 3 percent in 2012 and minus 5 percent from 2013 onwards. (pg)
