"In the case of the maritime transport sector, the traditional means used to power ships is fuel oil, which is derived from crude oil. Fuel oil can have a sulphur content of up to 5%. By way of comparison, the sulphur content of fuels used by lorries or cars should not exceed 0.001%. It is well known that sulphur dioxide emissions can cause acid rain and generate particulate matter. These particles are dangerous to human health as they cause respiratory and cardiovascular diseases and reduce life expectancy in the EU by up to two years. These are the reasons why I support the Commission’s proposal, which is part of the efforts being undertaken to resolve the problems relating to air quality and precedes a more wide-ranging review of air policies due to be carried out before 2013."@en1
