On behalf of Fairosene, on the introduction of a tax on aviation fuel (kerosene) for flights within the Union 

Petition addressed to: Petitionsausschuss des Europäischen Parlaments

The petitioner requests that the European Union consider the application of a tax on aviation fuel for flights within the EU. The petitioner states that the aviation sector enjoys numerous tax advantages despite being one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. The petitioner points out that other more environmentally friendly alternatives are subject to high taxes while Member States do not charge VAT on airline tickets.
