"I welcome the proposal from the Commission which will contribute to energy efficiency and climate protection in order not only to raise income, but mainly to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and also to influence consumer behaviour towards a more efficient use of energy and cleaner energy sources. I believe, however, that Member States should be free to make their own tax systems and to set their tax rates on energy products at a national level, whilst respecting the minimum levels. In the field of traditional fuels, I am concerned by the fact that implementing the principle of proportionality would risk increasing the tax on diesel. The negative impact would affect not only the daily lives of consumers and their purchasing habits, but also the haulage and automotive industries, which have in recent years made significant investments into research and development concerning diesel engines."@en1
