Purpose of the Seminar & Target groups During the assessment phase in WP1 for environmental issues, one of the main areas to improve is found to be the lack of information on aviation inclusion to European ETS. Given the deadline of ETS implementation for third countries, it is foreseen to be foremost important issue to tackle. Therefore the seminar is organised for TRACECA Beneficiary Countries in Istanbul, dealing with the issues surrounding “Aviation Environment and ETS” covering the discussions on aviation inclusion to emission trading system and European Climate Change policy issues. Target groups were; TRACECA region Civil Aviation Authorities, Airlines and other interested parties from the region; The speakers were chosen among EU officials, international and European experts. The great participation of both Beneficiaries and experts offered the unique opportunity to meet the important players within targeted organisations to understand the ETS issues and climate change. More than 50 people participated to the seminar. Except Uzbekistan all TRACECA beneficiary countries sent representatives to the seminar (both high and technical levels) Main Conclusion The seminar is welcomed as big success by participants and speakers. It provided crucial information about the necessary implementation process and how the Reporting Member States are dealing with the issue. Two days seminar provided both high level (during the Day 1) and technical level (during Day 2) information to beneficiaries. Presentations will be a key tool to understand and create knowledge awareness for the ETS. Specific page in the TRACECA website is created to transfer the knowledge including both days presentations (http://www.tracecacivilaviation.org/ets-seminar.html ). In addition technical ETS guidebook is prepared and distributed to Seminar participants. Results and Follow up It is expected that all TRACECA Beneficiary participants will distribute and transfer the knowledge to related organisations and experts related to aviation inclusion to ETS. It is also recommended to organise country based events or workshops, by inviting all national airlines to understand the issues. This can be done in collaboration with EU delegations in each country.
