"The road transport sector is the second largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the European Union and its emissions are continuing to rise. Consequently, all types of vehicles must be covered by regulations to reduce these emissions, including light commercial vehicles.
The objective of reducing greenhouse gases will be achieved more easily if there is EU legislation, instead of national legislation with different objectives. In addition, we will have greater legal security and certainty for the motor vehicle manufacturing sector.
However, we have to combine ambition with realism and common sense. Therefore, and knowing that it is small and medium-sized enterprises that mainly use light commercial vehicles, and that these make up more than 99.8% of companies in the EU and 67.4% of jobs, we cannot set targets that would put them at a disadvantage.
Therefore, I agree with the emissions limit objective of 147 g CO
/km for new light commercial vehicles registered in the EU, provided that the viability of this option is confirmed. I also welcome the fact that a single European speed limit has not been introduced for this type of vehicle."@en1
