The key performance area of climate and environment should address the impact of aviation on the climate and environment that can be influenced by air navigation service providers, in particular the CO2 emissions. Performance plans should contain for each reference period en route performance targets consistent with Union-wide performance targets in the key performance areas of climate and environment, capacity and cost-efficiency, as well as terminal performance targets in the key performance areas of capacity and cost-efficiency. At the date of adoption of this Regulation, existing available data do not allow for the establishment, in the key performance area of climate and environment, of key performance indicators for terminal air navigation services which are valid, reliable, measurable and allow for measuring impacts in that area which can be directly influenced by the air navigation service providers. Therefore, Member States should be obliged to include in performance plans binding targets for terminal air navigation services in the key performance area of climate and environment only after the Commission has been able to set, in an implementing act, the key performance indicators meeting those conditions. The setting of binding performance targets for terminal air navigation services included in the performance plan should take into account local circumstances, in particular local environmental policy requirements.
