U.N. aviation body says emissions proposal on track


    (Reuters) - The head of the United Nations body that oversees civil aviation said on Friday that his agency still plans to have a proposal on measures to address emissions from aviation by the end of 2012.

    A trade conflict over the European Union's emissions trading scheme has pushed the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to accelerate its hunt for "market-based measures" to combat climate change.

    Secretary General Raymond Benjamin told Reuters that four unspecified options are still being considered by ICAO's governing council, and two others have been eliminated.
