At the same time, considering that further restructuring will occur despite efforts in adapting the car manufacturing industry in Europe, the EU and the Member States also need to focus on the smoothening of restructuring and the offering of new possibilities for automobile workers.

Is concerned about the significant negative environmental, social and climate impacts linked to plant fuel production without a reliable environmental regulatory framework; stresses the need to achieve a sustainable policy towards biofuels in the European Union and in the production of biofuels destined for the European Union market in the territories of its trading partners; calls for the development of certification of sustainably produced biofuels; calls on the Commission, in its legislative proposal for reducing CO 2 emissions from cars, to make it possible only for biofuels which have been certified as sustainable to be taken into account in attaining the value of 120g CO 2 /km; stresses that second-generation biofuels obtained from plants or plant components which do not compete directly with food uses and which afford greater efficiency must be further developed and receive even more support; considers that for biofuels to be able to play any sustainable part in reducing the climate impact of transport or reduce oil-dependency, vehicle efficiency must be considerably improved;

Is further concerned that increased global demand for transport fuels could lead to the exploitation of unconventional oil sources such as tar sands or coal-to-liquid fuels with substantial negative environmental impacts; welcomes in this context the proposal for revision of the Fuel Quality Directive to take into account life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions from road transport fuels; believes that the benefits of strict EU environmental regulation in the automotive sector would spread well beyond the EU market;
