Exports to EU may face carbon tax barriers

Indian goods being exported to the EU may face higher barriers if the 27 member grouping goes ahead with a proposal to place a carbon tax on goods imported from advanced developing countries. While EU justifies the proposed tax as a measure to create a level playing field between polluting developing countries and countries that have agreed to the Kyoto protocol, India feels the move may render certain exports noncompetitive.
