lpv:translated text	"The Conservatives in the European Parliament, on the pretext that austere times justify rejecting environmental measures, have decided to postpone indefinitely the Commission’s plan to remove tax advantages on certain energy and electricity products such as diesel. Most MEPs are in favour of mechanisms which give an advantage to polluting forms of energy in the European energy taxation system. I must denounce this contrived competition between social measures and environmental measures. I am committed to an ambitious environmental policy, and therefore I voted against Ms Lulling’s report. This report has outrageously simplified the Commission’s proposal and strips it of all credibility by arguing that the Commission’s draft directive on taxation would have a negative social impact due to the increase in the price of coal, natural gas, heating oil and diesel. This is false because the proposal does not aim to penalise diesel specifically but rather to tax fuels neutrally so that all fuels compete with each other on the basis of their advantages and not their taxation."@en1
