Regulation 2(1)
SCHEDULE 2The Domestic Aviation Cap
1.—(1) For the purpose of this Schedule—
“EEA aviation emissions” means the emissions of carbon dioxide arising from any aircraft during taking off, flying and landing but only when the aerodrome from which the aircraft takes off and the aerodrome at which the aircraft next lands are both located in the same EEA State; and
“EEA State” means a state which is an EEA state on the 31st December in the year for which the domestic aviation cap is being calculated (whether or not that state was an EEA state in the years referred to in paragraphs (a) and (c) of sub-paragraph (2)).
(2) The domestic aviation cap (“DAC”) for a year of the 2013–2017 budgetary period, expressed in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent, is calculated as follows—
where—
E is the arithmetic mean of the EEA aviation emissions for each of the years 2004, 2005 and 2006;
F is domestic aviation emissions for 2010; and
G is EEA aviation emissions for 2010.
