Opposes Emissions Trading Scheme, which requires carriers flying to or from Europe to offset their carbon emissions
India has joint the US and 15 other major countries in opposing European Union's Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) which requires carriers flying to or from Europe to offset their carbon emissions. The two day meeting hosted by the United States to chalk out a common strategy against the EU's emission trading scheme concluded yesterday "They (India) have been clear both in that meeting and any number of times thereafter that they are strongly opposed to the application of the ETS and have had quite strong and vigorous words concerning the application of the ETS to foreign carriers," a senior administration official said on condition of anonymity.
