WRITTEN QUESTION E-2741/01

by Jorge Moreira Da Silva (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(5 October 2001)

Subject: Next World Trade Organisation Round

What measures does the Commission intend to take, within the framework of the forthcoming round of
WTO negotiations, so as to minimise the illegitimate competitive advantages gained by those states which
are not ratifying the Kyoto Protocol?

Answer given by Mr Lamy on behalf of the Commission

(21 November 2001)

(KP)

The Kyoto Protocol
the Union has pressed
consistently for the forthcoming WTO negotiations to cover MEAs as well as other environment-related
issues, in order to ensure that the WTO and MEAs support and do not undermine each other, including in
the ways referred to by the Honourable Member.

is a multilateral environment agreement

(MEA):

As reaffirmed in Gothenburg, the Union supports the entry into force of the KP by 2002, coinciding with
the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg. Thus, the Commission has adopted a
proposal for a Council Decision on the ratification of the KP on behalf of the Community.

There is broad agreement that the annual costs for the Union to meet its Kyoto target will range from less
than 0,1 % to 0,3 % of the gross domestic product (GDP). The additional use of carbon sinks (planting
trees, forest management, ….) agreed in Bonn, together with the American pull-out, will very likely reduce
these estimations.

Certain energy-intensive sectors might be the most adversely affected, because they face international
competition and also because their marginal abatement costs are rather high. However, the actual costs for
sectors depend very much on how Member States will allocate their Kyoto reduction commitments among
sectors: either an across-the-board −8 % cut is applied to each sector or a least cost scenario within the
Union (contribution of sectors is greater the lower their marginal abatement costs). Nonetheless, further
work is necessary to identify measures which might be suited to help vulnerable industries to adjust to a
carbon-constrained world.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2752/01

by Jonas Sjöstedt (GUE/NGL) to the Commission

(9 October 2001)

Subject: Cost of emission tests on imported cars

Some 500 private importers of cars, have via a company, sued the Swedish State over a sum of millions of
kronor (September 2000). They were forced to pay up to 12 600 kronors for emission tests, although
according to EU rules the charge should not exceed 900 kronor.

What is the Commission’s view on the Swedish rules on emission tests for privately imported cars? Are
private importers of cars right in claiming that they are having to pay an exorbitant charge?
