Legal analysis of implementation of aviation kerosene taxation in Europe

June 27, 2019

Here T&E reproduces two papers from The Hague conference which set out the definitive legal situation surrounding the taxation of aviation fuel within and outside Europe.

They were presented by Prof Dr Eckhard Pache from the Julian-Maximilians University of Wurzburg in Bavaria. They outline how taxing aviation fuel in Europe is possible today and urgently needed on both equity and climate change grounds and that, with ambition, all the barriers for doing so beyond Europe can be dismantled as well.
