In Germany, there are eco taxes, instituted by the red-green government back in the day, and Germany would likely benefit from tax harmonisation at the European level. It's safe to assume that this is a point of principle: further tax harmonisation at the EU level is not desired. Further independent sources of revenue for the EU are not desired.
