Taxe aérienne du gouvernement français : un recul pour la croissance économique et la durabilité E4FC condamne le projet de la France de lever 1 milliard d'euros en augmentant les taxes pour les passagers aériens. Bien que visant à réduire le déficit budgétaire, cette initiative risque de nuire à l'économie et de freiner la croissance du tourisme. ✈️ Des taxes aériennes plus élevées affecteront de manière disproportionnée les entreprises et les emplois français, fragmenteront le marché unique de l'UE et affaibliront la compétitivité des compagnies aériennes françaises. ❌ De plus, cette politique ne contribue pas réellement à la durabilité. Au lieu de financer la coûteuse transition vers les objectifs de neutralité carbone d'ici 2050, elle détourne des ressources essentielles aux efforts de décarbonation de l'aérien. 📉 La taxe proposée risque de détourner le trafic en poussant les passagers vers des aéroports hors UE, affaiblissant ainsi les secteurs européens de l'aérien et du tourisme, sans plan clair de réinvestissement dans la durabilité.

French Government’s aviation tax: one step back for economic growth and sustainability E4FC condemns France’s plan to raise €1 billion by increasing taxes for air passengers. While aimed at reducing the budget deficit, this move threatens to harm the economy and undermine tourism growth. ✈️ Higher aviation taxes will disproportionately affect French businesses and jobs, fragment the EU single market, and undermine the competitiveness of French airlines. ❌ Additionally, this policy does little to advance sustainability. Instead of funding the costly transition to achieve the net zero goals by 2050, it diverts resources away from the decarbonisation efforts. 📉 The proposed tax risks driving passengers to non-EU airports, damaging Europe’s aviation and tourism sectors, while offering no clear plan to reinvest in sustainability.

🌍✈️ Welcome on board, Apostolos Tzitzikostas as the European Commissioner-designate for Sustainable Transport and Tourism. Our destination today is a sustainable and competitive EU airline industry. Thank you for flying with us, we hope to become your partner on a smooth and successful journey. While your mission letter from European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen gives some indication on safeguarding transport connectivity, E4FC feels that it falls short on ambition. We trust that you will be open to learning more about the challenges our industry is facing and deliver on the promise your boss made that the whole European Commission is committed to competitiveness.

✈️ Exciting developments in #Strasbourg! Following Ursula von der Leyen' announcement of the Commissioners-designate, E4FC was also present this week in Strasbourg and met with Members of the European Parliament to discuss recent political insights surrounding the new mandate. 👏 With Apostolos Tzitzikostas taking on the role of Commissioner for Sustainable Transport and Tourism and Roxana Minzatu as Executive Vice-President for People, Skills, and Preparedness, the focus on integrating transport with tourism while prioritising social rights and quality jobs is vital for the future of the EU aviation sector. We are also pleased to see Stéphane Séjourné, and Wopke Hoekstra, taking charge of the #CleanIndustrialDeal, aimed at driving innovation and enhancing European competitiveness while advancing decarbonisation efforts. E4FC eagerly awaits the final composition of the College of Commissioners and looks forward to collaborating with the new leadership to work on updated aviation policy that meets the industry's key priorities. Together, we can ensure the EU advances its competitiveness on the global stage while promoting its social standards. #FairCompetition #Aviation #Sustainability #EuropeanCommission #E4FC #HighSocialStandards #Connectivity

🚨 Europe's competitiveness is at stake! 🚨 That's why the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen and the Council of the European Union tasked former ECB President Mario Draghi with a crucial mission: to develop a report outlining a vision of Europe's economic future. Released this week, at the start of a new political cycle, the #DraghiReport on "The Future of European Competitiveness" calls for urgent action to address Europe's declining global competitiveness. The continued lack of a coordinated industrial strategy will have long-term economic and social consequences. ✈️ E4FC endorses the report's assessment of the aviation sector and the urgent need for de-risking and financing decarbonisation solutions. E4FC welcomes the proposed comprehensive approach, including investment in aviation decarbonisation and a robust SAFs industrial policy. Moreover, the report's proposals to address aviation challenges, including the risk of carbon leakage, are crucial for maintaining European competitiveness in the global market. 🌍 Now, it's up to the EU institutions to take action. The upcoming #CleanIndustrialDeal will be a key test of their commitment to addressing these issues and ensuring Europe's continued prosperity and global leadership. #EuropeanCompetitiveness #Aviation #Decarbonisation #Sustainability #SAF #SocialIssues Link to the full report: https://bit.ly/47qXf2e

Yesterday, the Hungarian Presidency held an informal meeting of EU Ministers of Industry and Internal Market in Budapest. Ministers discussed key elements for a New European Competitiveness Deal, a top priority for the Hungarian Presidency. The Antwerp Declaration for a European Industrial Deal was also highlighted as an important foundation. Moreover, a policy debate is planned on the future of European competitiveness, tackling the challenges in the single market, based on the expected Draghi Report. E4FC is excited to be a constructive partner to collaborate with the EU institutions on shaping the future competitiveness of European aviation! ✈️ We are committed to working together for effective policies that: 🔹 Safeguard the strategic autonomy of European airlines. 🔹 Ensure a level playing field against non-EU competitors. 🔹 Support a robust industrial policy that tackles climate challenges. 🔹 Ensure strong worker protection and labour rights. #E4FC #EUaviation #FairCompetition #Social #Labourrights Want to learn more about E4FC's recommendations?
