lpv:translated text	"I welcome the recommendations in the compromise package. It is right to challenge local authorities and public bodies to lead in sustainable, clean transport. Public procurement should be based on sustainability. In our cities in particular, choosing efficient, green transport options will benefit citizens’ health, our environment and our climate commitments and can act as a market catalyst for clean transport options. These long-term benefits should be considered by those in charge of public procurement. We know transport is one of the areas where CO emissions must be reduced, and it is my hope that the revision of this directive can be signed off as soon as possible so that it can be implemented by 2010 as a support for environmentally conscious local authorities and public bodies. I think the committee is right to challenge local authorities. We all know that transport is one area where CO emissions need to be reduced. This Directive would support local authorities and public bodies who value the environment. Public procurement should be based on sustainability and not only should the price be considered but all other costs such as health, environment and carbon emissions should also be taken into account."@en1
