".
I voted in favour of this report on sustainable transport policy. It takes account of European energy and environment policies. In the EU 70% of demand for oil is attributable to the transport sector.
We need to put an end to our almost total dependence on fossil fuels by combining the various policies that encompass all modes of transport. This approach should create the conditions essential for realism, such as technological innovation to reduce CO
emissions from cars and the development of biofuels, the reform of the taxation system to take account of environmental impact, and accompanying measures to make better use of infrastructure and encourage citizens to change their habits.
Every citizen can be a player in sustainable transport by using public transport in preference to passenger cars, where this alternative is possible.
To make passenger and freight transport easier using low-emission modes of transport such as rail, river, sea and public transport, a range of new services, more competitive organisation of the sector and different ways of using certain infrastructure are needed simultaneously."@en1
