Analysts believe that the EU may be an appropriate compromise in terms of aviation carbon tax, followed by ocean carbon tax to make up for in duty of carbon of European Union aviation by United Nations "boycott" sensitive period, there is news that the EU is preparing marine carbon tax levy.
This means that the EU carbon tax will not only upgrade the EU carbon emissions tax on airlines, but also take the initiative to expand a carbon range, aimed at the marine transportation industry.
It is understood that in February 21st, China, United States, Russia and India and other 32 countries gathered in Moscow to discuss countermeasures to deal with the EU aviation carbon emissions trading system, to deal with the EU carbon tax.
In fact, before this, the executives said, willing to negotiate on the carbon emissions tax on airlines to amend the relevant regulations themselves. However, the meeting in Moscow at the same time, the EU finance ministers meeting in June this year, the European Commission has filed to develop global aviation and maritime transport industry carbon tax price.
The EU side of deregulation of the aviation carbon tax levy to levy a shipping; a carbon tax, some analysts believe that this is the EU in order to increase the weight of negotiations.
Investment advisor in the environmental industry researcher Hou Yuxuan told the "Securities Daily" the reporter said: "there may be appropriate in the EU aviation carbon tax compromise, and then through the ocean carbon tax to make up."
Analysts believe that there are two reasons for the EU to impose a carbon tax: one is to increase revenue sources, in order to alleviate the EU's financial problems; the second is to sell their own green technology, the desire by national introduction of the EU's green technology and equipment to cultivate new economic growth point.
Houyu Xuan said: "increase revenue sources and sell their own green technology is the EU to levy carbon tax can obtain benefits, so although the EU strongly denied, but we think the EU to levy a tax on carbon emissions is to stand on the moral high ground on money."
"Should be said that the European Union at this time brewing ocean carbon tax levied in a large extent is to other countries to a certain pressure, if other countries continued to bricks in the aviation carbon tax, the EU will in shipping to other countries to pressure, a bargaining chip which is the European Union, to suppress other countries." Investment advisor in the environmental industry researcher Hou Yuxuan said.
At present, the shipping industry has been in the doldrums, loss of aviation enterprises at the EU carbon tax meet the eye everywhere, will further increase the burden of shipping enterprises. Hou Yuxuan said: "the domestic shipping enterprises affected including COSCO, Sinotrans shipping, etc.. The solution can refer to the aviation enterprise practice at present, refused to cooperate with the EU and other countries to put pressure on the European union."
In February 22nd, representatives of 26 countries to develop a package of "rehabilitation" scheme against the EU aviation carbon tax, the purpose is to end or postpone the EU tax. The EU recently said he still has room for negotiation.
Experts say the best outcome, consult a European "graceful exit" of "of duty of carbon of" of aviation, such as full exemption from developing countries excess emissions to pay part of the cost, or indefinitely delayed aviation "carbon tax" levy and let it end up with nothing definite.
By "boycott" in the aviation carbon tax levy a carbon tax at the same time, the EU proposed by analysts as the EU negotiations. Some analysts believe that the EU countries will need to stand from the boycott into negotiations.
