lpv:translated text	"In the vote today in Parliament on what is known as the Sulphur Directive, I voted for the compromise that has been reached. The particularly stringent rules that apply to sulphur emissions in the vulnerable seas in northern Europe (the Baltic Sea, the North Sea and the English Channel) mean that, as a result of higher freight costs, many of the industries in Sweden and other northern European countries suffer a major competitive disadvantage compared with the rest of Europe, where higher limit values for sulphur emissions apply. Reducing sulphur emissions in our seas is absolutely essential from an environmental perspective, and it is something that all 27 EU Member States have already committed to doing by signing the MARPOL Convention and Annex VI thereto. In my opinion, it would have been better if the seas around all the EU Member States were covered by the same low limit values for sulphur emissions as the seas in northern Europe. In that way, not only would competition be more equal and the internal market more integrated, but the water and air along all of the EU’s coasts would also be cleaner."@en1
