Shortly before the end of 2015 ICAO reported from Montreal that the Secretary General of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), Dr. Fang Liu, had exchanged post-COP21 views and other developments with the European Commissioner for Mobility and Transport, Ms Violeta Bulc, (pictured) during a visit to Brussels.

Following discussions Commissioner Bulc held with ICAO Council President Dr Olumuyiwa Benard Aliu, she and Secretary General Liu exchanged further points on ICAO’s framework for its Environmental Protection activities and its planning leading up to the 39th ICAO triennial Assembly (A39).

ICAO will be seeking the support of its 191 Member States at A39 in September 2016 on the proposed design and 2020 implementation of a new market-based measure (MBM) for international aviation emissions.
