EU trade commissioner Peter Mandelson will on Monday (18 December) speak out against a controversial French proposal on taxing trade with countries that refuse to ratify a post-Kyoto Protocol – an international agreement to limit climate change by lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
According to the Financial Times, Mr Mandelson will dismiss the so-called carbon tax as a probable breach of international trade rules and also label it as "not good politics".
