"This directive sets the maximum exhaust emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulates (PM) from diesel engines of non-road mobile machinery. Machinery covered by the directive includes various kinds of land-based machinery intended
for construction, for forestry and agriculture, for rail transport, including locomotives and railcars, and for inland waterway vessels. It should be recalled that PM and NOx emissions from this type of machine represent 7% and 16% of the total, respectively. In order to enable compliance in stages with the limits laid down in this directive, a flexibility scheme has been created enabling manufacturers to replace engines gradually. As the rapporteur says, the engines in question are only produced by a small number of large companies. The European Commission is now proposing to extend the flexibility scheme, giving these companies more time to make the necessary replacements. The rapporteur completely opposes this, citing environmental and public health reasons, and has proposed a much stricter scheme. The consensus reached in the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety is more flexible than the rapporteur’s initial position, restricting the room for manoeuvre created by the European Commission. We therefore voted in favour."@en1
