Well, to quote Satu Hassi:

UN aviation body reaches consensus on emissions deal | EurActiv

The EU must now stand firm and stick by its original plans on aviation emissions. We should not dismantle effective climate policy instruments in exchange for a vague promise on a global scheme in the distant future without guarantees of environmental integrity or ambition.

Which is what he should be saying. But he is only a Green MEP. And remember, the EU parliament already instituted the tax, and was shot down in flames by China et al, who promised a major trade war. What has changed since then?

Well, nothing I guess.

But there you have the real power, which rests in China et al, not the UN. Or would China et al withdrawn their treath with major trade war if EU had managed to get its way on this panel?
