"The González Álvarez report deals with reducing CO2 emissions, a necessary goal, particularly with the fight against global warming at stake. An objective like this would require Europe to provide itself with effective resources in order to limit such emissions, either by binding standards, as is the case for other pollutants, or by incentives, with checks and penalties. Furthermore, the increase in the number of vehicles plays a major part in the increase in CO2 emissions. This aspect of the problem must be tackled as well, by implementing a transport development policy involving rail and waterway transport, combined transport, and public service which is capable of offering an effective alternative to the private car.
According to the explanatory statement, the Commission is still at the stage of a ‘monitoring scheme’, i.e. collating statistics but without undertaking effective checks, and, apparently, excluding light commercial vehicles (vans) and heavy commercial vehicles (trucks). It is better than nothing, but not much! Despite its limitations, we nonetheless voted in favour of the González Álvarez report."@en1
