"Mr President, I would like to thank Mr Lange for producing another excellent report on an important issue, that of atmospheric pollution and ozone smog. Several hundred thousand motor cycles cause just as much atmospheric pollution in my country, the Netherlands, as all the six and a half million cars put together. We cannot have a situation where new cars have to become exceptionally clean in 2005, but motor cycles get off scot-free. Nor is it acceptable that new lorries produced after 2007 will become exceptionally clean, whilst motor cycles remain unaffected. So I hope that when it comes to tomorrow’s vote, all delegates will vote in favour of equipping new motor cycles with a catalytic converter in 2006. Finally, I have a question for the Commission. I believe it is now high time we abolished the exemption for diesel motors, i.e. for trains from 1978. Trains too, must, and could, be far cleaner. I hope the Commission is prepared to respond on this point."@en1
