China "bans airlines" from joining 'EU carbon scheme

China has "banned" all airlines of the country's accession to the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) from the emissions of carbon dioxide.
The authorities have also ruled out by the airlines increase their fares or new fees for the scheme.
The ban comes just weeks after the China Air Transport Association said its members opposed the idea of ??ETS.
This scheme, from 1 January implemented, charges a fee for flights in EU airspace based on carbon emissions.

"Serious challenges"

The scheme has come for strong criticism not only from China but also from other countries like the U.S. and Canada.
China has claimed that the plan could cost Chinese airlines € 95m ($ 124 million, CHF 79 million) in additional annual costs.
Analysts said that was the face of global economic conditions and an uncertain outlook for the travel industry, airlines carefully to hurt in controlling their profits.
"The sector is already very serious challenges," Chris de Lavigne, Frost & Sullivan, told the BBC.
"The airline industry as a whole has been hit by high fuel costs over the last few years and no one wants to come in additional cost factors"
According to EU estimates, which control the cost of air fares will rise by between 2 and € 12 per passenger to see."Very difficult"

The move by the Chinese authorities is likely the problem is too complicated, because the EU will have to decide what action it will take from here on out.
"It will be very difficult to wait. You have to react like the EU," Siva Govindasamy from Flight Global told the BBC.
"You would be able to stop the Chinese airlines from flying to the EU, but that could be retaliation by China, which see not good for both sides," he added.
Analysts said that given the differences between the various parties involved, the matter can be resolved must be of an international organization.
"It could end up on the desk of the World Trade Organization, as the countries who are against it already said it is an unfair trade practices," said Frost & Sullivan, Mr. Lavigne.
"Both sides have claimed that this is either just or unjust, it is very difficult to see how this is to get in shape."

'Syria crisis': China defends veto of 'UN resolution'.

Chinese state media have defended Beijing's veto of a UN resolution condemning Syria's crackdown on anti-government protesters.
China's top newspapers said that Western efforts to effect regime change in Syria was erroneous, citing previous campaigns in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya.
The U.S. used as a "travesty" the veto by China and Russia described the UN resolution over the weekend.
In Syria, government forces continued attacks on the city of Homs.
Mortar shells were steadily - about a minute apart - reported on Sunday, the BBC's Paul Wood in the central Syrian city.
Burials were talking place at night, our correspondent said local officials, as it was too dangerous to do it in daylight because of the snipers.
At least 28 civilians by security forces in all of Syria were killed on Sunday, especially in Homs, said the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights campaign group.
A report indicating the group said, a corresponding number of Syrian troops were also killed.
Human rights groups and activists say more than 7,000 people have been killed by Syrian security forces since the insurgency began in March.
The UN stopped estimating the number of deaths in Syria after it passed in January 5400, it was too difficult to confirm.
The government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad says at least 2,000 members of the security forces were killed fighting the "armed gangs and terrorists."

"Seeds of Disaster"

"The draft resolution, which sought to realize a regime change in Syria does not adequately reflect the state of affairs" in the country, the newspaper China Daily said in its editorial on Monday.
"The only pressure on the Syrian government and explicitly tried to force their leader Assad to withdraw the resolution of message sends in armed groups and opponents of his regime that they have the support of the international community.
"This is without doubt the Syrian situation even more complicated," said the article.
It went by the example of Libya, saying that the fall of Col Muammar Gaddafi's regime did not bring "democracy and freedom" to Libyans, but pushed the country close to "fall into a sectarian civil war."
Meanwhile, a comment in the People's Daily, the mouthpiece of China's ruling Communist Party, "the veto design does not mean the Security Council resolution that we are giving free rein to this heartbreaking state of affairs to continue."
Previously, Russia had also defended his decision, the draft UN resolution veto, said the proposal was unbalanced."Licence to Kill '
The double veto by Moscow and Beijing on Saturday drew an angry reaction from around the world.
Said, "What has happened ... at the United Nations was a farce," U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
"Faced with a castrated Security Council, we have our efforts outside of the United Nations with our allies and partners who have to double to support the Syrian people the right to a better future," she added.
Analysts say Mrs Clinton seemed to be the founding treaty of nations similar to allude to the Contact Group on Libya. This group - a collection of Arab and other countries - managed international support for the opponents of the late Col Gaddafi.
French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe called the Russian-Chinese veto a "moral stain" on the UN. He said that Europe would strengthen sanctions against Syria, and finally "The regime will have to recognize that it is completely isolated and can not continue."
The draft resolution - which had already been watered down in an apparent attempt to overcome Russian objections - was of 13 of the 15 members of the UN Security Council when it was put to a vote supported.
The Syrian National Council, the largest opposition group, said Russia and China were "responsible for the escalation of acts of killing," calls the veto "an irresponsible step, kill with impunity tantamount to a license to."
British Foreign Secretary William Hague said the two countries made a "big mistake" and throws them "turn their back on the Arab world."
The BBC's Jim Muir in Beirut says, the Russians seem to be feeling the pressure. They send their foreign ministers, Sergei Lavrov, speaking to President Assad in Damascus on Tuesday.
Russia wants to help mediate a political solution, but the opposition did not see the Russians as an honest broker, our correspondent says.
