"The European Commission Green Paper on Noise from 1996 estimated that around 20% of the then EU population suffered from noise levels that scientists and health experts consider to be unacceptable and a 2012 WHO Report stated that traffic noise is the most widespread environmental problem, harming the health of more than one in three EU citizens. 210 million people, over 44% of the EU population, are regularly exposed to road noise over 55 decibels, a level recognised to pose considerable risk to health according to WHO. In this regard I voted this support this timely report on the protection of public health and the environment through measures to reduce the sound level of motor vehicles. Furthermore, as noise standards for road vehicles have not been updated for 20 years, it is clear that this Regulation is long over due. I support the additions in this Report regarding the provision of information to consumers on the sound level of motor vehicles. The commitment to simplification is also to be commended as Directive 70/157/EEC and 12 related directives will be rescinded and replaced with this new comprehensive regulation."@en1
