"This directive concerns compression ignition engines with a power range between 18 kW and 560 kW intended for installation on agricultural or forestry tractors. Its purpose is to set limits for emissions of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons and particulates, which were changed in 2005 without any specific impact assessment concerning the technical feasibility of doing so. In order to comply with these limits, after-treatment systems need to be installed in the engine compartment, which occupy a large amount of space in comparison to the size of the engine itself, meaning that they cause technical problems and that there is no guarantee of the tractor working properly. The Commission believes more time is needed to enable manufacturers to develop systems that comply, so it is proposing to postpone for three years the obligation to comply with Stage IIIB and Stage IV requirements for tractors in categories T2, C2 and T4.1. The proposal is reasonable. There is no doubt that reducing air emission levels so as to improve air quality is an important ambition, and one for which we have fought. Measures for achieving this involve technological research and development, but also incentives for the agricultural sector to change to and acquire up-to-date technologies as regards lower emissions, in particular, small and medium-sized farmers."@en1
