Hard on the heels of the Spanish government's announcement of a green fiscal policy (EED 18/11/05), the country's autonomous region of Aragon will this month approve legislation to tax industrial air pollution and other environmentally harmful activities while reducing the tax burden on families.

The Aragon business confederation said the taxes would undermine competitiveness. See press release.
