lpv:translated text	"− Even though the rapporteur recognises the Commission’s contribution to the achievement of the European strategy, she rightly highlights the concerns over the industrial and transport policy that derive from it. The road haulage sector would face serious difficulties if the price of gas oil were to increase as a result of efforts to reduce CO emissions in the industry. The environmental sustainability of transport by road is already guaranteed by the stringent regulations in place and businesses in the sector are already required to pay for emissions in accordance with well-defined EU and international obligations. The principle of ‘proportionality’ across the various minimum tax thresholds set at EU level needs to be seriously re-examined in order to avoid an index-led increase in the price of diesel and the knock-on effects in terms of competition and inflation. Fuel excises should not, in percentage terms, automatically follow inflation, as happens in Italy where fuel is among the most expensive in Europe, at EUR 1 738.19 per 1 000 litres against a European average of EUR 1 521.4. This system has got to be pulled, unless the Member States are ready to lose control over whether or not decisions on taxes are suitable. Automatic tax-setting is a terrible idea that must be avoided."@en1
