La Commission Européenne est opposée au prélèvement d'une taxe sur les billets d'avion pour financer l'aide internationale:
The European Union executive's decision appeared to be the death knell for a levy on airline tickets, which drew criticism from many member states and airlines even when finance ministers agreed on May 14 that it would only be voluntary.
(...) The voluntary airline tax, to be levied on flight tickets sold in the European Union, had drawn criticism of Austria, the Netherlands and holiday destinations Italy and Greece. Only a handful of countries said they would definitely implement it.
Dutch Finance Minister Gerrit Zalm said last month the plan was "a dead horse".
