"Mr President, Commissioner, this was a good proposal in the form in which it came from the Commission, not only because of the sulphur reductions but also because of its new Article 7a, which demanded a gradual reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from suppliers, and because it resolved the old vapour pressure problem for petrol-bioethanol mixtures in countries such as mine that have hot summers.
This was filtered out in the vote in the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, to the concern of many of us.
Today we have an agreement on the table which softens the application of Article 7a and restores the vapour pressure waiver, while of course toughening the conditions for making use of the derogation. As with the rest of the climate change package, not everyone will find it wholly satisfactory, but it is something that everyone can accept.
I would like to thank Mrs Corbey for her excellent work and her receptiveness in solving problems, and I would also like to thank Mr Turmes and, of course, the French Presidency, which has shown itself to be highly effective in this area as well."@en1
