"In order to respond to the European Union’s ambitious objectives in terms of sustainable development and combating climate change, it is important that the European Union takes action in the vehicle sector. In this regard, the adoption of this report is a further step forward towards the manufacture of vehicles which pollute less. However, I very much regret the lack of ambition in this regulation in relation to the reduction of CO
emissions for new light commercial vehicles. While I did, of course, vote in favour of this resolution, what I voted for was the European Commission’s initial proposal: namely, an objective of 135 g CO
/km by 2014 and 120 g CO
/km by 2020 (rather than what was eventually adopted: 175 g CO
/km by 2014 and 147 g CO
/km by 2020). Today, technology is available that would allow us to achieve much lower thresholds, and to do so much more quickly than is envisaged by the objectives in this report."@en1
