This article reports that the dispute between Germany's air transport industry and the German government over its proposal to introduce an air travel tax has become more bitter. Legal experts believe that the tax may not even comply with European law. The article presents the arguments from both sides and mentions that the European Commission is considering proposals for taxes on air travel or financial transactions.
