Aeronautical industry and environment: civil subsonic jet aeroplanes, registration and use. Civil aviation Convention

OBJECTIVE: to prevent a further deterioration of the situation as regards noise from civil subsonic jet aeroplanes whose certificate has been renewed, and other environmentally damaging impacts. SUBSTANCE: the proposal provides for Member States to ensure that, as from 01/04/1999, civil subsonic jet aircraft whose certificate has been renewed cannot be registered in their territory. It also seeks to avoid discrimination between aeroplanes registered in the Community and those registered in third countries by limiting the operation at Community airports of aircraft which do not comply with the Directive. A limited number of exemptions are provided for. Some of these concern aeroplanes operated exclusively outside the Community, while some concern exceptional cases of a temporary nature. Member States should ensure the proper implementation of the common rules. �
