This will define the State pairs which have offsetting requirements within CORSIA, and the associated average total sectoral CO2 emissions during 2019 and 2020 on those State pairs. 4.3.2 Mergers and acquisition of aeroplane operators Where there is a complete acquisition of an aeroplane operator or a complete merger of two or more aeroplane operators the reference CO2 emissions in the 2019-2020 period for the resulting aeroplane operator should be the sum of the reference CO2 emissions in the 2019-2020 period that had been attributed to the acquired or merged entities. In all other cases, including partial acquisitions, where the aeroplane operator is deemed not eligible to the new entrant status, the reference CO2 emissions in the 2019-2020 period should remain unchanged. 4.4 SECTOR’S GROWTH FACTOR Based on the reported CO2 emissions data from States, ICAO will calculate the Sector’s Growth Factor (SGFy) every year. A State will use the SGFy for a given year as defined in the ICAO document entitled “CORSIA Annual Sector’s Growth Factor (SGF)” that is available from the ICAO CORSIA website. ______________________ 5-1 Chapter 5 ADMINISTRATIVE PARTNERSHIPS UNDER CORSIA 5.1 EXAMPLE OF A BILATERAL AGREEMENT 5.1.1 Given the recognized need for cooperation between States to build partnerships in implementing CORSIA, this Chapter provides an example of a bilateral agreement on an administrative partnership (BAAP) between administrating authorities to facilitate such cooperation. a) Contracting administrating authorities to the BAAP: 1) Capacity obtaining authority (COA): ___________________________ Designated point of contact: administrating authority, name, address, phone and email ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2) Aeroplane operators of COA affected by BAAP (aeroplane operators): i) Aeroplane operator (1): __________________ Designated point of contact: institution, name, address, phone and email _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ii) Aeroplane operator (2): __________________ Designated point of contact: institution, name, address, phone and email _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ iii) Aeroplane operator (3): __________________ Designated point of contact: institution, name, address, phone and email _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 3) Contracting capacity providing authority (CPA):___________________________ Designated point of contact: administrating authority, name, address, phone and email _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 5-2 Environmental Technical Manual b) Guiding principle of cooperation The administrative partnership (AP) will be governed by the guiding principle of cooperation between CPA and COA. 1) CPA and COA enter into BAAP voluntarily and reassure that they will act in good-faith towards the CORSIA goals. 2) COA or aeroplane operators may not claim for any damages with regard to BAAP from either CPA or ICAO. 3) BAAP will not release a COA from its compliance obligations under CORSIA; COA remains obliged to enact any enforcement measures against its aeroplane operators as CPA will not undertake any enforcement measures against the aeroplane operators. c) Basic principles of BAAP 1) COA obliges aeroplane operators to fulfil their obligations under the CORSIA vis-à-vis CPA instead of COA. BAAP will not commence until COA has notified and provided proof to CPA that aeroplane operators are obliged to fulfil their obligations under CORSIA vis-à-vis CPA. 2) CPA will immediately notify ICAO about the contracting administrating authorities and the aeroplane operators (para. a) affected by the BAAP as well as the agreed scope (para. f) and duration of BAAP (para. g) 3) Instead of COA, CPA will execute the agreed scope of BAAP offered according to the options on MRV administrative tasks (para. f) vis-à-vis aeroplane operators. 4) CPA will be the sole point of contact for aeroplane operators with regard to obligations under the CORSIA pursuant to the agreed scope to prevent any administrative confusion in competence. d) Legal grounds Annex 16, Volume IV and the Environmental Technical Manual (Doc 9501), Volume IV will serve as the sole legal basis within BAAP and are to be directly applied by CPA in executing its compliance tasks towards aeroplane operators. e) Language, formalities, deadlines, failure of compliance 1) Language CPA and COA have agreed to use ___________________ (agreed language) for all communication. COA will notify aeroplane operators to act accordingly. 2) Formalities i) Communication between CPA and aeroplane operators may be oral or in written form using the agreed language. The submission of data and (__) will be processed electronically via _________. All formal decisions of CPA vis-à-vis aeroplane operators under CORSIA will be in written form. ii) CPA will be accessible for aeroplane operators during business days and will react promptly to requests of aeroplane operators within (__) business days. Volume IV. Procedures for demonstrating compliance with the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) Chapter 5 5-3 iii) COA will notify aeroplane operators that aeroplane operators submit their data directly and promptly to CPA according to the form provided for in the Annex 16, Volume IV. 3) Deadlines i) All deadlines of Annex 16, Volume IV and Environmental Technical Manual (Doc 9501), Volume IV are directly applicable between CPA and aeroplane operators. ii) Should CPA be of the opinion that an aeroplane operator is not compliant to Annex 16, Volume IV, Part II, Chapter 2, CPA may set a minimum deadline of (10) business days to aeroplane operators to resubmit missing information/data to CPA. 4) Failure of compliance Should an aeroplane operator fail to comply with the formalities or deadlines, CPA may notify COA, respective aeroplane operator and ICAO about the potential non-compliance (para. h). f) Scope Table 5-1. Scope of tasks covered under bilateral agreement No. Task (examples) Detailed specification of tasks (examples) Scope? 1 Help desk function Provide telephone and email support to answer questions from aeroplane operators and verification bodies regarding technical and administrative aspects of the CORSIA. This includes services such as an email newsletter and reminders (e.g. to start contracting a verification body) and clarification questions on (very) specific technical details (e.g. of the voluntary pre-verification). 2 Registration of aeroplane operators Maintain and update a database of master data such as identification, contact persons, and legal status. This includes the generation of automatic alerts in internet search engines to establish a process of ongoing monitoring of aeroplane operator activities (such as merger and acquisition activities). 3 Establishing of communication channels for secure and traceable communication Especially for the submission of the Emissions Monitoring Plan and Emissions Report, e.g. via encrypted email. Including proof for the aeroplane operator that a submission has indeed taken place. 4 Establishing of communication channels with ICAO and participation in relevant CORSIA- related administrative coordination To receive updates on the CORSIA administrative aspects, to submit aggregated emissions data.
