"Madam President, I think there is a vast amount of hypocrisy in this debate. I find it absolutely astonishing that 94% of the transport sector in the EU is dependent on fuel from oil, and yet the Commission is making arguments here about how this measure is not legally sound and is not appropriate. For one thing, we are putting a lot more investment into research and technology for alternative fuel development, and yet we fight over progressive measures such as this. It is absolutely ridiculous.
Concerning recital 44 of the Fuel Quality Directive: how can it possibly be argued that strengthening what is on the table is not part of the objective of the directive, which is about ensuring respect for minimum levels of environmental protection in relation to fuel. We really need to get our act together, and I endorse what colleagues in the Socialist and Democrat Group – as well as many others – have said on this."@en1
