"Madam President, the passenger car is universally used throughout the European Union. It is no longer a luxury and, with the exception of VAT, should not be subject to additional taxes such as vehicle registration tax. VRT should only depend on the costs of the measures. Charges for polluting the environment with carbon dioxide emissions should be included in the price of fuel, thereby giving preference to cars with low emissions. This will encourage people to replace their cars with vehicles that are more environmentally friendly and use less fuel. The same could apply to fuel in the European Union. The annual circulation tax should not be too high or vary too much, as it will prevent poorer people from buying used passenger cars and may force pensioners, whose car use is limited due to their age, to give up their vehicles. The Council Directive on passenger car related tax is necessary for the single market and should be adopted as soon as possible."@en1
