"The Commission has proposed to exempt 50% of the tractors manufactured in the EU in the last five years because of the technological development time lag, which makes it impossible – unless an enormous amount of money is spent – to carry out the mechanical modifications necessary to move on the next stage, and because of the economic crisis affecting the tractor market.
Our position was to support the proposal to the Commission, since the impact on emissions is truly negligible. It is regrettable that the ‘no’ stance of the left-wing groups and Ms Pietikäinen is due purely to matters of principle and completely ignores the risk that would be run if these exemptions were rejected: our factories would close down and jobs would be lost as a result.
The final compromise reached following the trialogues has resulted in a first-reading agreement of 37.5% for non-road mobile machinery. While we may not be satisfied, we will vote in favour of the directive on account of the extremely tight deadlines: exceeding them would render the directive meaningless."@en1
