"Directive 97/68/EC is an important element in the field of the environment, since it sets out the maximum exhaust emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulates (PM) from diesel engines of non-road mobile machinery. As NOx and PM emissions are the main sources of air pollution, it is important to take action in this sector. This directive was amended in 2004 to allow engine manufacturers a flexibility scheme in stages. This means manufacturers have the option of bringing onto the market a limited number of engines complying with the limits set at the previous stage: 20% of the manufacturer’s annual sales or a fixed number of machines, with this last being for small producers.
As a result, the purpose of this report is to approve the expansion of flexibility approved by the Commission. Therefore, the 20% limit will change to 50% by December 2013, and the fixed number will also be increased. I am voting for this report, since I believe we should support small and medium-sized producers at this time of crisis, which is affecting the non-road mobile machinery industry, particularly the construction and agriculture sectors. On the other hand, technological development has not accompanied this directive, so we should provide for the necessary increases in flexibility."@en1
