lpv:translated text	". The road transport sector is the second highest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the EU and, more importantly, is a sector in which emissions are continuing to increase. The significant progress made thanks to automotive technology has not been enough to neutralise the effect of the increase in traffic volumes and car sizes. The proposal for a regulation adheres to the spirit and targets of the EU, especially as regards reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 20% by 2020. The fact that the proposal provides for a distribution of effort, with each manufacturer being set a specific target, is exemplary, in my opinion. I also regard as fundamental the penalties which will be imposed on manufacturers not meeting their targets. Overall, and bearing in mind the current situation, the agreement reached is positive for the EU. In terms of achieving the targets that the European Union has set itself in order to combat climate change, this regulation will certainly help."@en1
