"I voted in favour of this report because in view of the indicators on premature human mortality due to ship emissions in Europe, it is essential to implement provisions on maximum sulphur limits for marine fuel. This is a very important reform of the current term of the European Parliament concerning health. It is very important to implement and monitor within the EU the clarification and standardisation of the limits agreed in the International Maritime Organisation and level the playing field for competition, facilitate the transition stage and encourage innovations. More stringent sulphur limits would increase health and environmental benefits by implementing the 0.1% limit more widely than just in Europe’s existing Sulphur Emission Control Areas (SECAs). It is important for the 0.1% sulphur limit to be extended to vessels engaged in regular passenger transport. It would also be possible to achieve significant benefits for health and the environment if the limit currently applicable in EU ports were also extended to territorial waters."@en1
