The proposal to amend Directive 2000/25/EC on emissions from agricultural tractors relates solely to the quantitative side of things. It neither tackles nor alters its environmental protection objectives, and it makes no impact on its methodology or period of validity. This directive deals with exhaust emissions from diesel engines installed in tractors. It lays down the maximum emission level on the basis of engine power and provides for the gradual, phased reduction of emissions. On 31 December 2010 Stage A ended, and on 1 January 2011 Stage B began. The limits set for the stage which has just begun are much stricter than those for the previous stages. Precisely in order to facilitate the transition from one stage to the next, the directive introduced a ‘flexibility scheme’, allowing tractor manufacturers to place on the market a limited quantity of tractors with engines calibrated to the emission limits permitted during the previous stage. The amendment increases the percentage of these tractors from 20% to 50%. For these reasons, and because the technological development time lag and the global financial crisis have precluded the adjustment of these factors, I voted in favour."@en1
