ETS Problems

The EU has said that all airlines flying into Europe must pay for the emissions which are not environmentally friendly. The problem is that no airlines, especially American carriers that fly in the EU airspace for about 1/8 of the trip want to pay. I have to say that to me it makes no sense, why would anyone want to pay. I can understand the EU's actions, but some of the rules they made, like any US carrier traveling to the EU would have to pay the EU for the entire trip, not just for the emissions going over the EU, but the entire trip, that's not the right solution, it's kind of greedy.
The conflict between the US and the EU is between money. The U.S has a bill that would protect American carriers from having to pay extra for flying in the EU. In the end I think the EU will backdown and leave it as it was.
In this article, the EU estimates that aviation will increase emissions by 130% in 2012 compared with 2005 when it was at 60%, they say it will cost them 3.5 billion euro's per year, which is why the EU is charging a fee. The EU will be charging every aircraft operator that fly's into or out of the EU, and they will follow their annual cycle; operators will require that aircract operators watch their own annual emissions, and file a report of it, and have it verified. Also airlines will have to write how they will lower their emissions...As if they didn't have enough to take of.
