lpv:translated text	". Some governments worry about vehicle tax; others worry about maintaining a taxation system full of irregularities. As regards this draft directive, I would like to emphasise the importance of encouraging a proactive approach. Is it necessary to debate the constricting measures to be adopted in order to slow down climate change? To make progress, what is needed is to sweep aside the reluctance of the car and petrol lobbies. Environmental tax is a means to help both citizens and the planet itself. If implemented correctly, it will encourage innovation in the transport sectors and it will promote energy economies. We must also stop the paralysis of our governments. Taxation cannot be the only solution. We must also develop regulations to reduce greenhouse gases. It is essential to make citizens responsible and to develop tools to evaluate our effect on the environment. The Greens have voted for this project as the first step towards a CO2 tax. This could lead to the construction of an environmental taxation system on a sufficient scale to meet the challenges we face. The Greens want registration tax to be maintained. In Denmark, it has led to the reduction of the car park. The Greens remain sceptical about ‘budget neutrality’ and fear other impositions. We regret that the European Parliament has not followed the Greens’ amendments requiring Member States to reduce their transport-related CO2 emissions."@en1
