If this tax does go forward, I think we can expect more tankering from out of the EU.

In the same vein, I have learned recently that some continental countries will shortly introduce a 1 Euro surcharge on every air fare to pay for AIDS relief in the Third World.

Fair enough, you'd say; who could be against more money to fight AIDS? But what's the connection with air travel (other than considering it the perennial cash cow)?

Cheers
