"I voted for the proposal for a regulation setting emission performance standards for new light commercial vehicles as part of the European Commission’s integrated approach to reduce CO
emissions from light-duty vehicles. This will allow us to encourage vehicle manufacturers to use eco-innovation to ensure the European car industry’s competitiveness.
The regulation imposes the payment of penalties on light commercial vehicle manufacturers for exceeding the average specific emissions defined in it.
I would like to point out that the restriction on polluting emissions must not only be approached from the supply angle, for instance, how light-duty vehicles need to be modernised to be made cleaner, but also from the demand angle. It is important that new vehicles which comply with this regulation’s provisions are accessible to consumers. This will enable the regulation both to provide incentives for the production of vehicles offering efficient fuel consumption and to impose penalties on manufacturers who fail to meet the agreed targets. From 1 January 2012, it will be the duty of each Member State to record every year the details of every new light commercial vehicle registered in their country and to ensure compliance with this regulation’s provisions."@en1
