"I am voting for this report. I welcome and support the Commission proposal, and I would stress that the limits agreed in the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) will come into force even if no directive is adopted. However, the directive could clarify and standardise the implementation and monitoring within the EU of the limits agreed in the IMO, level the playing field for competition, facilitate the transition stage and encourage innovations. By switching to more stringent sulphur limits, it would be possible to achieve significant health and environmental benefits in a cost-efficient way. For that reason, I agree with the rapporteur’s support for the Commission proposal that the 0.1% sulphur limit be extended to vessels engaged in regular passenger transport. However, the rapporteur proposes that the limit come into force in 2015, at the same time as in the Sulphur Emission Control Areas. I also agree that the ceiling currently applicable to EU ports should be extended to the territorial waters. These amendments will enable significant benefits to public health and the environment, and will also create favourable conditions in terms of reducing the costs of reform."@en1
