Mme Marie Tamarelle-Verhaeghe attire l'attention de Mme la ministre, auprès du ministre d'État, ministre de la transition écologique et solidaire, chargée des transports, sur les émissions de gaz à effet de serre dans le transport aérien et la fiscalité avantageuse dont il bénéficie. Le 7 décembre 1944, juste après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, 52 pays signaient la Convention de Chicago qui indique que « le carburant, les huiles lubrifiantes [...] sont exempts des droits de douane, frais de visite ...[...] imposés par l'État ou les autorités locales ». La taxation du carburant des vols internationaux est donc interdite par cette convention, désormais signée dans sa neuvième et dernière version de 2006, par les 191 membres de l'Organisation de l'aviation civile internationale (OACI). Aujourd'hui, seul un accord entre l'ensemble de ces pays pourrait remettre en question la fiscalité avantageuse dont bénéficie le transport aérien. Le transport aérien représenterait environ 3 % des émissions globales à effet de serre, mais le GIEC estime que sa part serait en réalité deux à quatre fois plus importante. Et les prévisions de croissance du trafic mondial viennent corroborer ces chiffres. En octobre 2018, l'association du transport aérien international (IATA) prévoyait ainsi une multiplication par deux du trafic d'ici 2037. Cette augmentation du trafic aérien semble toutefois difficilement compatible avec les objectifs de réduction de gaz à effet de serre prévus dans les accords de Paris. C'est dans ce contexte que nous avons appris par voie de presse qu'une étude avait été commandée par la direction générale des transports de la Commission européenne en 2017 sur le secteur aérien au sein de l'Union européenne. Cette étude préconiserait d'introduire une taxe kérosène via un prélèvement de 33 centimes par litre de carburant. Cette taxe répercutée sur le prix du billet entraînerait mécaniquement une baisse de la demande et donc une réduction de 10 % des émissions de dioxyde de carbone. Pour être juste et efficace, cette mesure devrait être imposée à l'échelle européenne. Une taxation à l'échelle française aurait pour seule conséquence de pousser les compagnies à faire le plein à l'étranger. Alors que le Conseil des ministres des transports européens débute à Bruxelles le 6 juin 2019, elle souhaiterait connaître les mesures qu'elle envisage pour réduire l'empreinte carbone du transport aérien.
