"The Commission’s Work Programme for 2008 includes, among strategic initiatives, the adoption of a package regarding the development of ecological transport.
This autumn, the Commission shall present a legislative proposal for revision of the Eurovignette Directive 2006/38. The objective of this revision is to ensure more efficient use of the transport infrastructure, as well as the reduction of negative effects of transports on the environment, based on the principle of “polluter pays”.
In the context of ever more expensive fuels, the importance of this directive is increasing. The sustainable economic development of the Union also depends on the development of a more ecological and efficient transport from the energy point of view.
I request the European Commission that the internalization of external costs, generated by transport, take place in a larger context, namely to also review the low VAT rates applicable in the Union, as well as Directive 14 of 2001 on taxation and levying of charges for access to railway infrastructures and Directive 96/2003 on energy taxation."@en1
