lpv:translated text	"Thank you, Madam President. I would also like to thank Mr Lange for his excellent report. Traditional air pollution will in a few years’ time be a thing of the past, thanks to the majority of the European Parliament. With regard to new cars, the second generation of catalytic converters will be compulsory in 2005. A lengthy and difficult conciliation procedure was required in order to achieve this outcome. Catalytic converters in lorries will be compulsory in 2008. This was not so difficult to achieve. The Council adopted the EP’s position at first reading. Today, we are discussing new motorcycles. One could sum this up by saying that catalytic converters will be compulsory in 2006. This is a fair position. BMW have had a motorcycle equipped with a catalytic converter on the market for a long time. It is unfortunate that the environmental ministers should refuse to take this reasoning on board. Conciliation will now be inevitable. However, because of the EP’s unanimity, the Council is bound to lose out. The significance of no more ozone smog and far less acidification outweighs the short-term interest of a few manufacturers."@en1
