India protests carbon tax on Europe flights - Hindustan Times
Come January, your airfare to London will cost €6 (Rs 380) more, thanks to a new carbon tax the European Union (EU) has decided to levy on the aviation sector. This tax will cost India $1 billion (Rs 4,500 crore) a year and with China and the United States, will help Europe make a neat $10 billion a year.

Environment minister Jayanthi Natarajan lodged a formal protest with the EU this week, terming the decision an "unfair" trade practice.
