New Ideas for EU Own Resources from Agri-Trade
During an EU Council Meeting 20-21st March, Head of States and Governments from EU Member States will discuss different proposals for own resources for the EU Commission. Different European ambitions (defense, competition, green industry, climate, agriculture, social policies) need new sources of finance and new EU own resources.
TAPP Coalition sent a letter to EU Head of States with 5 options for Agri-Trade pricing that could lead to new EU own resources. Therefore, TAPP Coalition highlighted five additional taxation options: An EU Meat/Dairy Import and Export Tax, An Agri-Food ETS (ETS3), A Retail CO₂-eq Tax, an EU wide meat-tax and an EU Soy Import Tax. Each of these options has the potential to generate between €11 billion and €51 billion in revenue.
