    Option 2—Allocation of global bunker sales and associated emissions to parties in proportion to their national emissions.

    Option 3—Allocation according to the country where the bunker fuel is sold.

    Option 4—Allocation according to the nationality of the transporting company, or to the country where an aircraft or ship is registered, or to the country of the operator.

    Option 5—Allocation according to the country of departure or destination of an aircraft or vessel; alternatively, emissions related to the journey of an aircraft or vessel shared by the country of departure and the country of arrival.

    Option 6—Allocation according to the country of departure or destination of passengers or cargo; alternatively, emissions related to the journey of passengers or cargo shared by the country of departure and the country of arrival.

    Option 7—Allocation according to the country of origin of passengers or owner of cargo.

    Option 8—Allocation to a party of all emissions generated in its national space.

  It noted that further work was required on adequate and consistent inventories, and in 1997, decided that the basis for further work on this issue should be confined to Options 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
