The European Energy Exchange (EEX) and ICE Futures Europe (ICE) published today the revised 2020 aviation auction calendars to take into account the change in scope of EU ETS for aviation after the linking with the Swiss ETS.

With regards to aviation activities, the Agreement changes the scope of the EU ETS for aviation and leads to modifications of free allocation to aviation operators participating in the EU ETS.
