European Commission spokesman AIsaac Valero-Ladron on Thursday said that airlines flying in European airspace have to comply with EU law despite objections expressed by China on charging airlines for carbon emissions.

Today, Chai Haibo of the China Air Transport Association said that its members would not cooperate with the ETS. AIsaac Valero-Ladron stated that ‘If the Chinese want to do business in Europe, like open a restaurant or something, they have to comply with the health and the safety requirement.
