".
I voted for the amendments tabled for the report and I welcome the decision adopted by the European Parliament on the system for taxing energy products and electricity in the European Union. The method proposed by the European Commission would have pushed up the excise duty on diesel considerably in most Member States, which would have been detrimental to citizens who have invested in diesel cars, given in particular the competitive advantages they offer. Moreover, the method proposed by the Commission put farmers at a disadvantage as they would have had to invest more in agricultural activities or irrigation. However, I decided to abstain from the final vote in view of a number of other provisions in the report which I do not find totally satisfactory."@en1
