Formulate

A package of retaliatory measures against EU aviation carbon tax is designed to end or postpone EU taxation.

The EU has said that there is still room for negotiation.

Experts say that the best outcome now is to discuss a plan for the EU to "respectfully withdraw" from the aviation "carbon tax", such as a full exemption from the excess emissions from developing countries, or an indefinite delay in the introduction of aviation carbon tax and let it go.

"Every country can choose the most effective plan to end or postpone the implementation of the European Union's aviation carbon tax policy."

Valery Okulov, Vice Minister of pport, said on the 22 day of the two day European Union aviation carbon tax special meeting that the conference was attended by representatives from 26 countries.

The European Union has imposed an international aviation carbon tax from January 1st this year.

The provision triggered strong international discontent and threatened trade war.

It is estimated that more than 2000 foreign airlines will be included in the EU's carbon trading mechanism, and 33 Chinese airlines including Air China, China Southern Airlines and China Eastern Airlines will also be included in the list.

As the host of the conference, Russia's recent opposition to the EU aviation carbon tax has become increasingly strong.

Russian pport minister Levitin told 21 pport officials from 26 countries that Russia and China and the United States share the same position and oppose airlines' participation in the European Union's carbon emissions.

An official attending the Durban conference explained to reporters that the NDRC is working with the Civil Aviation Administration of China to fight back against the EU's "unilateralism" on behalf of the Chinese government.

China's consistent position is to oppose the EU's "carbon tax", which will not be changed because of the EU's bargaining. The only viable alternative to the EU is "no longer implemented". The "postponed implementation" of this downward step means dragging on.
