"Madam President, promoting a green, competitive economy which is efficient in terms of using resources is a key element in the Europe 2020 strategy.
The actions taken by the European Union in the last few decades have resulted in a significant reduction in the emissions of atmospheric pollutants, including sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds, ammonia and particulate matter. The directives on the quality of the fuels used in both road and maritime transport have made a vitally important contribution to this reduction. Council Directive 1999/32/EC relating to a reduction in the sulphur content of certain liquid fuels stipulates the maximum permitted sulphur content for heavy fuel oil, diesel and ship engines used in the Union. Measures promoting energy efficiency in buildings and the recycling of waste will also help considerably in cutting polluting emissions.
Commissioner, I would like to ask what measures you are intending to take to ensure the reduction in polluting emissions caused by industrial sectors, especially against the background of the economic and financial crisis."@en1
