EU to keep carbon tax on airlines

March 9, 2012--The European Union will maintain its carbon tax imposed on airlines operating in its airspace, the Danish climate minister said on Friday, despite retaliatory trade measures by China.

As long as an international policy on carbon emissions by airlines is not found, the "EU will stick to its own ETS system", Martin Lidegaard said. Denmark currently holds the EU's rotating presidency.

The carbon tax imposed on airlines by the European Union came into effect on January 1, but carriers will begin receiving bills only in 2013 after this year's carbon emissions have been assessed.

The eurozone-IMF rescue for Greece: the main points

March 9, 2012--The Greek bond swap is intended to avert default by Greece when debt falls due on March 20 and is a key part of a eurozone-IMF rescue worth up to 237 billion euros to enable the country to rebuild its economy.

Some 83.5 percent of the country's private creditors tendered bonds for exchange, the Greek finance ministry announced on Friday, solidly above a 75-percent requirement Greece had set for the deal to move forward.

Here are the main points of the overall rescue package as published by the Eurogroup of eurozone finance ministers, with extra detail from the Greek finance ministry on Private Sector Involvement (PSI) in the debt writedown:

Under the PSI debt write-off by banks, insurance companies and investment funds, these investors will lose 53.5 percent of the face value on the 206 billion euros ($273 billion) of privately-held Greek debt. This will reduce the debt owed by Greece to private creditors by 107 billion euros. Greece has a total public debt of about 350 billion euros.
