Per reftel, Econoffs delivered talking points to the Head State
Counsellor, Radmila Valickova, and Director of Air Transport, Jan
Breja at the Ministry of Transportation. The GOS is in general
agreement with all five positions detailed in reftel. The
Slovaks surprisingly do not agree with the common European
opinion that planes flying in European airspace should be charged
a greenhouse gas emissions fee. Breja and Valickova explained
that Slovakia wishes to encourage air travel and is against any
taxes or extra charges that might result in higher prices.
