Mr President, this report is concerned with N1 vehicles which is Commission jargon for vans. This is of interest to that most notorious of British drivers – white van man! White van man, as we know in the UK, is a person who despite being in a Ford Transit van thinks he is Michael Schumacher. I know that this is a uniquely British thing, as here on the continent – and particularly in Italy – every driver thinks he is Michael Schumacher. This report is largely technical and concerns how we test the CO2 produced from these vehicles. I have managed to secure exemptions for small manufacturers of specialist vehicles, in particular ambulances, and have also introduced the concept of families of vehicles in order to group together the thousands of vehicles produced in different derivatives. N1 vehicles are important to all of us because you are likely to make your last-but-one journey in an N1 vehicle i.e. an ambulance. But you will also be pleased to know I have secured an exemption for the vehicle you will make your last journey in, because hearses are also to be exempted from this directive.
