"We Swedish Social Democrats voted in favour of the report on the Directive on the reduction of the level of pollutant emissions from two and three-wheel motor vehicles. We believe that the recommendation has intrinsic environmental value. However, in this explanation of vote, we wish to state that we do not agree with Mr Lange’s desire for a binding emission limit for 2006. We believe that the limit should be voluntary until there are improved grounds for a new limit to be set. If the limit were to be established now, there would be a risk of emissions from future motorcycles becoming higher than necessary. We believe Mr Lange’s proposal to use the test cycle for cars is inappropriate as motorcycles are not driven in the same way as cars. They accelerate in a different way and are usually driven at higher speeds. Instead, we should wait for the new test cycle currently under development for motorcycles and, until then, have voluntary emission limits."@en1
