"Madam President, I voted against the Davies report because, as a result of the amendments adopted, we are still a long way from the optimum situation, which is to protect the environment, on the one hand, but also promote employment in Europe and not burden the consumer unduly with excessively high prices. In essence, the decisions that we have taken are at the expense of employment and the consumer.
In technical terms, we have moved away from the integrated approach which would have been essential to create a situation in which everyone contributes to cutting CO
emissions, not only the car manufacturers but also the manufacturers of other vehicle components. We have abandoned that route. What is more, we have not included weight and we have not completed weight segmentation, which is important for European competitiveness, because it is the higher-weight vehicles that are at the forefront of innovation, the innovation that Europe needs.
We have set timeframes which are difficult or expensive to achieve and we have taken the absurd step of not heeding the call for CO
based taxes in the Member States, which means that the old vehicles which pump out CO
are still on the market and on the road. That is why I have voted against the report."@en1
