".
Mr President, first of all, I would like to say to Mr Rübig and Mrs Ayala Sender that I will speak with the relevant Commissioners and ask them to reply to the issues that they have raised. I would like to thank all the other Members who participated in the debate, which was by no means dull, but a lively one, with sound observations, as well as some controversy, which is always good to hear.
Mr President, there are just three things that I wanted to stress in reply. The first point is that a cost/benefit analysis carried out within the context of assessing the proposal’s impact indicates that the potential gains are significant, because the initial investment costs for the vehicles, which are likely to be higher, will be offset by savings made as a result of lower energy consumption and lower emissions of CO
and other pollutants.
Secondly, including the vehicles’ lifetime impact among the assessment criteria will not only not result in greater costs but might instead lead to considerable savings, both for operators and for the public.
Thirdly, the saving on fuel costs, which directly benefits the operators, by itself largely offsets any higher costs incurred at the time of purchase."@en1
