". In view of the potential threats relating to the implementation of the provisions of this directive I had no option but to vote against it. I would, however, like to emphasise that I understand the noble goals inspiring the implementation of this document. Nevertheless, even though the majority of EU citizens will note the small-scale positive effects of this directive, its negative consequences will be experienced by a smaller group of people, but will be felt more acutely. This problem manifests itself, for example, in the unduly short transitional periods proposed in the directive. This means that it will be necessary to provide large amounts of fuels that meet the new criteria within a relatively short period of time. Temporary shortages of supply could occur as a result, which would hike up fuel prices and reduce the competitiveness of maritime transport in comparison to land transport. Moreover, the price of marine fuel will increase due to the costs associated with an additional desulphurisation process, as these will be incorporated into the fuel price. Due to the serious nature of the aforementioned concerns, I have decided to vote against this directive."@en1
