International Civil Aviation Organization and McGill University Institute of Air & Space Law Prof. Brian F. Havel Fulbright Visiting Chair in Comparative Law and Legal Pluralism, McGill University Faculty of Law Professor of Law and Associate Dean, DePaul University College of Law AVIATION SAFETY, SECURITY & THE ENVIRONMENT: THE WAY FORWARD Will Emissions Trading and Taxing Programs Achieve Sustainability?

High Stakes: Policy => Law International Aviation - High Visibility - Public Symbol of Globalization and Industrialization Special International Law Regime –Chicago Convention / ICAO / Bilaterals –Not in WTO / GATS –Singled out in UNFCCC / Kyoto 2 Key Principles Non–Discrimination Against Foreign Airlines (Chicago Conv. Article 11) Reciprocity (Bilaterals) How Do These Principles Apply? Exceptionalism

Aircraft / Fuel / Oil / Comestibles / Etc. Chicago Convention Article 24 / Bilaterals / ICAO Policies No “Fees” or “Duties” (Convention Doesn’t Use Term “Taxes”) = Taxes Paid Into General Fund (General ICAO Principle) EU Still Considering Environmental Taxes (As Well As Emissions Trading System) Reciprocity / Taxes

For Costs of Service Provided Imposed to Mitigate Environmental Impact of Engine Emissions OK if Direct Attribution to Air Transport (Like ATC Charges) –Earmarking E.g., recuperation for damage done as a polluter: to that extent, under international law, EU can impose charges on non-EU airlines and comply with Convention Implications of Chicago Convention Arts. 11 and 15 (Non- Discrimination) Non-Discrimination / Charges

Non-Discrimination / Charges (Ctd.) EU Proposal Will Apply to All Flights To / From / Between EU Airports Irrespective of Country of Origin EU Knows Something Is Amiss –Has Instructed Council / Commission to defend against third-country attacks BUT! A CLASH OF PRINCIPLES: EU Parliament Does Not “Care” About Legal Standards / U.S. Parks Jumbo Jets Full of Lawyers Outside EU Offices in Brussels

Emissions Trading System Not in Chicago Convention –Kyoto International aviation emissions reduction to be pursued through ICAO –ICAO Can provide binding emissions standards Can EU Do This Legally Under International Law? –ETS No govt. revenue capture, therefore not a tax No direct attribution to air transport for services provided, therefore not a charge Not A Concept Understood in Contemporary International Aviation Law –Clarification by ICAO? Buddhist Not Illegal, Not Not Illegal! Therefore Using Present Categories

Emissions Trading System (ctd.) EU As Long As We Apply Without Discrimination We Honor Chicago Convention Art. 11 But When EU Aviation Law Affects Non-EU Airlines… –In bilaterals (US/EU) – traditional –In regulating CRS –In slot allocation systems …EU Expects and Respects Reciprocity As Well As Non- Discrimination ETS Seems to Assume Chicago Convention / Bilateral System is Defunct (Reasonable After ECJ Decision in 2002?) Potential to Be Worse Than Hushkitting, Potential Trade War (ICAO, WTO) But It Is Not!

Back to Policy => Law ICAO’s Policy: –International law does not explicitly provide for the kind of extra- territorial emissions charges that the EU would like to impose Therefore, –Respecting the principle of State consent, international law should not do so implicitly (non-discrimination and reciprocity)
