"The proposal for a regulation to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from light commercial vehicles falls under the Commission’s strategic framework to reduce CO emissions in the atmosphere. However, several graphs in the latest report by the European Environment Agency clearly show that CO emissions caused by road transport in the EU-15 and the EU-27 have either been stable or decreasing since 2003. In addition, it is worth considering that light commercial vehicles are responsible for only approximately 1.5% of carbon dioxide emissions from the transport sector. The lengthy and difficult negotiations held in the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety focused, above all, on the long-term emissions limit, which was agreed at 147g CO /km. This figure, though better than initially proposed, does not fully meet my expectations. Indeed, in order to protect industry in the sector, Italy had asked for the level not to fall below 160g CO /km and, in the Council, many Member States seemed to be moving towards an agreement for a minimum threshold of 155g CO /km. In conclusion, I think that the result reached in the trialogue between the Commission, the Council and Parliament on reducing long-term CO emissions is still out of proportion with the special characteristics of the automotive sector and I should like to express my concern about the risk of damaging the industry and employment levels in the sector."@en1
