The EUROCONTROL Experimental Centre (EEC) is a participant in the MIME project, which is a component of the European Commission's 6th Framework programme.
MIME is shorthand for "Market-based Impact Mitigation for the Environment".

The purpose of the MIME project is to establish a new and beneficial means of balancing environmental and operational concerns for European air transport with the following principal objectives:
- to develop a system of transferable noise permits that would be initially allocated to airlines;
- to develop both a method of implementing noise permits and the means by which the chosen system would be equitably put into place at an airport;
- to determine the requirements for tools to calculate the use of airline noise permits;
- to develop an analytic framework that would enable a single airline to understand both the operation of this market and the value of such noise permits;
- to implement tools to enable airport situations to be judged as advantageous (or not) for such market-based approaches;
- to make propositions for enabling the uniform implementation of the chosen noise permit system at European airports; and
- to put in place the regulatory framework that would establish and govern this system.
