BERLIN - Germany expects tough negotiations on the introduction of new energy taxes in the European Union, a senior official said on Thursday, as the bloc considers higher prices for carbon emissions as a way to achieve its climate protection targets.
Speaking at a panel discussion in Berlin, Deputy Finance Minister Joerg Kukies said recent talks in Helsinki about modernizing the tax rules had revealed deep divisions among EU member states. And the Cypriot finance minister threatened to block any attempts to introduce additional taxation on shipping, he said.“The question that I have now, and this really goes to the core: must the EU - in light of the stalemate of tax harmonization - give up its unanimity principle in tax policy, at least in some areas,” Kukies said.
