"I welcome this resolution. In order to achieve environmental goals linked to emissions, I believe that the maximum emission level for tractors should be set according to the power of the engine. This would ensure the effective implementation of a gradual, phased reduction of emissions. I welcome the fact that the directive includes a flexibility scheme which will facilitate the transition from one stage to the next. The application of this scheme will take into account the technological development time lag and the negative consequences of the economic crisis. Thus, due consideration will be given to the interests of both the EU’s manufacturers and its farmers. Manufacturers will not face an additional burden and will have sufficient time to adapt their production to the requirements at every stage, while farmers will be able to exchange their oldest tractors for new ones, whose engines will be less polluting. Consequently, I believe that it is appropriate to raise the number exempted from 20% to 50% of annual sales of tractors. Such regulation will create a favourable environment for the economic development of the industry, while at the same time keeping the current environmental protection programme unaltered."@en1
