Qatar, represented by the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority (QCAA), has obtained membership of the Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection (CAEP) in the field of aviation of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).
In a statement,  QCAA said  that it had been keen during its years of working to protect the environment and mitigate the environmental impacts resulting from the activities of the civil aviation industry.
QCAA  added that it is constantly endeavouring to co-operate with all international organisations in this field, and to co-ordinate with them in a manner that contributes to achieving all goals and strengthening capabilities, in addition to its continuous work on applying the criteria of the Sixteenth Supplement related to environmental protection, which made it among the leading countries in this field at the international level.
The Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection (CAEP) is a technical committee of the ICAO Council established in 1983. 
CAEP assists the Council in formulating new policies and adopting new Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) related to aircraft noise and emissions, and more generally to aviation environmental impact. - QNA
