"I voted for the report on reducing the sulphur content of certain marine fuels because applying the new provisions will help cut environmental pollution caused by burning marine fuels with a high sulphur content. In order to achieve the targets laid down in Directive 1999/32/EC on reducing the sulphur content of certain marine fuels, the obligations concerning the sulphur content of marine fuels need to be properly enforced. I think that a more effective system is needed for monitoring and enforcing the sulphur content obligations in order to ensure that the directive is implemented properly. Adhering to the lower sulphur content limits for marine fuels may lead to a significant price hike. This is why appropriate solutions are needed to reduce the costs resulting from compliance, which are incurred by the industries concerned, such as authorising alternative, more cost-effective means of compliance. I think that Member States and the Commission should promote the testing and development of new technologies, while looking into the possibility of setting up a joint programme for reducing pollution caused by marine fuels, cofinanced together with the industry and based on the principles of similar programmes, such as the Clean Sky programme."@en1
