Madam President, the Eurovignette dossier contains a few tricky areas, including the 3.5 tonne lower limit, extra taxes, external costs and profit spending.
In my view, reference to external costs is this dossier’s key asset, without which it would be impossible to calculate the integral costs for all modes of transport in a bid to achieve the desirable goal of a level playing field. I am pleased to see that the Council’s sense of reality has prevailed over considerations of strict business economics.
The agreement on external costs is at the same time the greatest loss. After all, the Council has not yet given 100% confirmation in respect of whether external costs will be included in future pricing. For that reason, I would like to urge the Commission to do what is necessary and go full speed ahead with the study into external costs, so that this discussion can be continued on the basis of more specific material and brought to a satisfactory close within the foreseeable future.
Finally, I should like to congratulate the rapporteur on the result achieved and on the way in which this was brought about."@en1
