"I voted in favour of Mr Sacconi’s report on emission performance standards for new passenger cars.
The road transport sector is responsible for around 70% of the greenhouse gas emissions produced by the transport sector in general. This applies, in particular, to urban areas where traffic congestion causes air pollution in large conurbations. It is therefore vital that the emission performance standards for new passenger cars are improved. The compromise which has been reached sets ambitious targets for car manufacturers, but also gives them the period of time necessary to adapt their production lines to the new requirements. The bonus system introduced for green cars will be an incentive for both manufacturers and consumers. Climate change will help to change consumer preferences and also relaunch the demand for cars.
Preserving jobs and creating the prerequisites for economic development are absolutely necessary, especially in the current economic and financial crisis. The importance of the car manufacturing industry is also recognised by the specific measures included in the European Economic Recovery Programme."@en1
