"Madam President, I am last but not least and I hope I shall not take three minutes. On behalf of the Socialist Group, I would welcome the results of the conciliation. The decision to move towards low sulphur diesel across the Union should mean an end to the noisy, smelly, expensive and rather larger diesel engines and other off-road vehicles that disturb our air quality, the peace of our environment and communities. We recognise the importance of taking into account the possible economic and social consequences of this change, in particular for the agricultural industry, and therefore welcome the sensible transition periods given and the encouragement of appropriate tax incentives. We hope this will encourage bringing about change in a painless way.
We also support the need for an on-going review of the situation to ensure progress does not give rise to social or economic problems. Therefore, on behalf of the Socialists, I would recommend the report to the House and thank the rapporteur for all the work she has done, as well as all the other people who have been involved in this long process. We hope that we will now see some genuine results from our endeavours."@en1
