"We, the undersigned Members of the European Parliament from the Austrian People’s Party (ÖVP) and the European People’s Party (PPE), voted unanimously today against the Commission’s proposal for the amendment of Protocol No 9 to the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden regarding the system of ecopoints for heavy goods vehicles transiting through Austria, an amendment which would advance the expiry date of the so-called 108% clause whereby a ceiling is imposed on the number of journeys and which would not replace the clause with another form of restriction. This plan devised by the Commission is contrary to the letter and spirit of the provisions that were negotiated at the time of Austria’s accession to the EU.
We, for our part, continue to put our faith in the 108% clause; by virtue of our vote on paragraph 2(a) to (c) of the legislative resolution, we have helped to ensure that a consensus of all the European institutions – the Commission, the Council and the European Parliament – will be found at all future stages in the quest for appropriate and sustainable solutions to transport problems in the areas designated as sensitive, areas which include Austria and the Alpine region."@en1
