Summary

This dossier concerns sustainable aviation fuels (the ReFuelEU Aviation Initiative). The amendments define sustainable aviation fuels and address the air transport sector's greenhouse gas emissions, decarbonisation, a level playing field among aircraft operators on fuel costs, and the cost gap with conventional fuel. Several invoke climate-neutrality goals, the Paris Agreement, ICAO regulation, and a global SAF market.

In plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
