lpv:translated text	". Mr President, Commissioner, the Climate Summit held recently in The Hague dealt with the requirements of the Kyoto Protocol, to notoriously meagre effect. This forces us to confront the seriousness of the situation that the motorised transport sector is currently facing. Transport accounts for a huge proportion of CO2 and NOx emissions, road transport being the worst culprit. It is true that two and three-wheel motor vehicles only constitute a very small percentage of total road traffic volume. It is therefore all the more striking that their contribution to emissions is relatively high. According to the forecasts of the Auto Oil Programme II, unless there is a change in policy, this proportion will only increase. The current generation of two and three-wheel vehicles still satisfies the requirements placed on other older vehicles. However, these categories are regularly confronted with more stringent emission standards. In order to allow two and three-wheel vehicles to perform to optimum effect, it is desirable to adapt emission standards on a continuous basis. Therefore, I personally am content with the line proposed by the rapporteur. As draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on Regional Policy, Transport and Tourism, I am pleased that the rapporteur has advocated a longer period, although not as long as our committee would have liked, for the smaller manufacturers of two and three-wheel vehicles. Mr President, all in all I am delighted with Mr Lange’s report. The implementation thereof should mean a step in the direction of a sustainable transport system, and, of course, that is what Parliament wants."@en1
