"I welcome this report as a necessary adjunct to the type approval for the general safety of motor vehicles legislation approved earlier this year, which is mainly concerned with environmental and safety standards for tyres.
We need tyres to be safer, more fuel efficient and quieter. Traffic noise, of which tyre noise is an important component, is a major cause of ill health. Reducing fuel consumption will be of great benefit to the consumer at a time of increasing austerity but it will also reduce CO
emissions and contribute to the EU’s ambitious goals in climate change reduction.
With the labelling process consumers will be able to make an informed choice when buying tyres but also when deciding on which car to buy.
We must monitor, though, how effective the labels are. We must ensure that consumers really do understand them, otherwise the whole exercise will be meaningless."@en1
