lpv:translated text	"Emissions from heavy goods vehicles are contributing more and more to carbon dioxide emissions due to the increasing number of consignments. Our aim by means of this report is to reduce emissions of this kind in order to contribute to cleaner air. In order to meet our commitments under the Kyoto Protocol, we must take decisions involving difficult commitments for industry, above all when it comes to carbon dioxide emissions. That is one of the purposes of this report. We are aware that the decision may be felt to be onerous for certain manufacturers. It is nonetheless our conviction that Swedish industry, with its considerable technical know-how, is well placed to cope with these demands within the time frame proposed in the report, which is to say by 2006. Our understanding is that the proposals in the report are not confined to one particular technology but contain a range of technological solutions to choose from. To that extent, the report is neutral from a competition point of view. We are convinced that, in the long term, Swedish companies will win out by being well ahead in adapting to environmental demands. We are proceeding on the assumption that this judgement is shared by the companies concerned. As Members of the European Parliament, we see it as our task to force the pace of such developments."@en1
