There is big deficit in EUR budgets at the moment because Germany is underwriting peripheral states like Greece Spain Portugal and Italy. If it were not for German exports outside the EUR the EUR would cease to function. In the UK we pay around 50% in taxes incl. all local, national and sales tax. Gasoline is about $8.70 per US gallon and diesel is over $9. This is just another example of how the world is being sectored off into three trading parts N America, Eur and Asia.. It looks like the EUR has the upperhand at the moment and they are testing their strength.

The Euros are pissed because the US would not sign on to the Kyoto Accords.
The EU has been trying to get back at the US with these stupid carbon emissions regs.
It's a money grab. That's all.

This tax is just to look after all the bureaucrats and have nice pension at out cost
solution: do not fly to EU countries anymore
Why don't they just create a visitors breath tax, charging visitors for their daily co2 emissions too. If we can get enough taxes in place this world will green up a lot quicker. Lol
