This will be an interesting one to measure . . . how will the authorities know who is using more or less fuel on the same technologies?
EU to introduce airline pollution limits
European Union (EU) countries have agreed to introduce pollution limits for airlines as part of efforts to tackle climate change.
The measure is due to come into effect in 2012, and will apply to all flights between EU countries, as well as in and out of the EU.
Operators who use less fuel or more environment-friendly technology will be allowed to sell some off their allowance, but those using more fuel will incur financial penalties.
