"The position of the Committee on Public Health and Food Safety on the sulphur content of marine fuels was clear. The objective was to introduce stricter sulphur emission limits in all sea areas in the European Union. The outcome of talks with the Council was that Parliament’s aims were not achieved. Finally, a decision was reached on sulphur emission limits that will cause an obvious distortion of competition in the EU’s internal market if they are implemented under this directive. Furthermore, the introduction of limits will cause immense economic damage, especially in the northernmost regions of the EU, especially as a result of this distortion of competition. Although I think that reducing sulphur emissions for reasons of health is something very worthwhile, I would have liked to see some attention being given in the outcome of negotiations to the fact that some Member States will have to bear a much greater burden than others with regard to these goals. Consequently, I voted against adopting the outcome of the talks."@en1
