lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, in voting on the directive on mobile air-conditioning systems, my group, like the majority of this House, will follow the rapporteur’s sensible path and adopt the Common Position without major amendment, for it represents a good compromise. A GWP threshold value of 150 reduces emissions by 90%. The deadlines – 2011 for new types and 2017 for new models – are ambitious enough, and it will also be possible for the manufacturers to meet them. The Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Protection has already voted to reject the demand for the reintroduction of GWP 50. Compared with a threshold value of 150, a GWP threshold value of 50 has no significant impact on the greenhouse effect; that is confirmed, not by the car industry, but by the British impact assessment, the Commission and the Swedish Environment Ministry. Setting the GWP at 50 would exclude all the alternatives to CO2 as refrigerants for mobile air-conditioning systems, but it is not for the legislator to prescribe one single technology to the industry. We should instead leave that to the engineers and promote competition between environmentally-friendly alternatives. The core issue with the f-gas Regulation is its legal basis. There is no apparent reason why we should have different legal bases for stationary air-conditioning systems on the one hand and for mobile ones on the other. In both instances, we are dealing with product-oriented legislation for the internal market. If the confidence to plan ahead, legal certainty and common standards in the internal market are to be guaranteed, then the legal basis should be Article 95. This expresses a clear commitment to both high environmental standards and a functioning internal market in which all are subject to the same ground rules. At a time when we frequently find ourselves discussing better regulation, I would, in this specific instance, remind the House of the problems involved in transposing the electronic waste directive, which is based on Article 175."@en1
