US embassy cable - 04BRATISLAVA760

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

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.
