The European Commission is expected to agree to a proposal to include aircraft in the European Union's emissions trading system.
The Commission is reportedly expected to approve the proposal tomorrow (27 September).
The emissions trading system was launched in January this year, Reuters reported. It sets a limit to the amount of carbon dioxide that can be emitted by energy-intensive installations - for example power plants - and it also allows these installations to buy or sell allowances that give the right to emit the gas.
