"I too have voted today in favour of giving the Commission the power to make flexible amendments to annexes in order to set out a number of technical requirements and rules for vehicle checks in the European Union. These involve measures which are not related to the fundamental elements of the directive, but I would nevertheless like to say that the removal of older vehicles should be speeded up, not only in view of the safety issues but also because of the amount of air pollution they cause. On the one hand, we are making the production of new vehicles increasingly costly through ever more stringent emission standards, so that vehicles become harder to buy for the less well-off among our fellow citizens, and, on the other hand, this results in increasing numbers of older vehicles on the roads emitting harmful waste products. I call on the Commission to adopt a plan that will support the more rapid replacement of vehicles in the European Union."@en1
