lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of the present report on new legislation setting emission performance standards for new light commercial vehicles as part of the Community’s integrated approach to reduce CO emissions from light-duty vehicles. My decision was based on the various data presented in the different documents informing the argument, in particular, the fact that at the moment, these vehicles make up approximately 12% of the vehicles on the road. It is necessary to set CO emission standards for new light commercial vehicles in order to avoid regulatory gaps, and it is also important to encourage the automotive sector to invest in new technologies. I agree with the rapporteur when he highlights the need for the light commercial vehicle sector to follow the example of the car sector, which is trying to reduce CO emissions. However, unlike cars, changes to these vehicles do not involve their shape or weight, but modifications to their engines and mechanics, which makes the process much slower and more expensive. Nevertheless, it is important to encourage this technological progress to the benefit of all."@en1
