".
I voted in favour of Mr Sacconi’s report on emission performance standards for new passenger cars. Bearing in mind that road transport is responsible for 12% of all carbon dioxide emissions in the European Union, I consider that this regulation, despite not forming part of the ‘climate and energy package’, is vital to ensure that the EU meets the target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by 2020.
I congratulate the rapporteur on the decisive role that he played in negotiations with the Council and the European Commission. These have culminated in a strong and balanced agreement which will benefit the automotive industry and consumers and will, in particular, protect the environment. This is therefore an ambitious but flexible model, in that it attempts to meet the targets for reducing polluting emissions while, at the same time, allowing undertakings in the automotive sector to gradually adapt."@en1
