"The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) has established the upper sulphur limit for maritime fuel in the Sulphur Emission Control Areas (SECAs). From 2015, this figure will stand at 0.1%. In Europe, SECAs include the North Sea, the English Channel and the Baltic Sea. The introduction of a sulphur limit of 0.1% for all vessels engaging in regular passenger transport, together with the extension of the limit to territorial waters, will result in significant additional costs that will have to be borne by the entities affected by this restriction. Moreover, the reduction in acceptable sulphur levels may lead to lorries being used to move goods which are currently being transported by sea. This will result in additional environmental damage and increased road congestion. That is why I voted against this directive."@en1
