Pilot phase 'good compromise' on carbon scheme: IATA chief
IATA's new DG is optimistic that an agreement on a carbon offset scheme can be struck when ICAO meets later this month, and said that if the proposed 6-year pilot period is the condition for success, he has no issues with the "good compromise". “The key priority is for a decision to be made and the system to be adopted by countries. If it takes longer to be implemented effectively, frankly it’s a secondary issue,” says Alexandre de Juniac at a media roundtable in Singapore. He adds that while the initial plan was to have a system in place by 2020, he accepts that some states may need more time and that the pilot phase would also test and correct measures to ensure that they are “applicable, efficient and work properly”. <br/>
