". We would like to distance ourselves from the Hautala report. The objective of reducing the sulphur content of petrol and diesel is, of course, commendable, but the considerable logistical problems posed by the proposal do not seem to bring about any known environmental benefits. When the report was examined by the Committee on the Environment, neither the rapporteur nor the Commission itself were in a position to deliver a verdict on the various cost/benefit implications of such an initiative. We do not support the inclusion of fuels intended for non-road machinery in the directive from 2005 onwards. This is an unrealistic proposal which could further weaken the agricultural industry. We should review the issue of the complete alignment of vehicles at the intermediary date of 2005. Similarly, we are opposed to the removal of existing exemptions concerning the sulphur content of petrol and diesel. This is so that we can continue to deal with restrictions related to supplying the outermost regions. Lastly, we condemn the fact that the need to change the volatility limit of ethanol-petrol blends has not been recognised. This measure seeks to enable the Member States to include petrol with added ethanol in order to achieve the objectives set by the proposal for a directive on biofuels."@en1
