Som hr. Vittinghoff allerede har sagt, har der været en konstant stigning i forurening forårsaget af bilernes udstødning af carbonmonoxid og nitrogenoxider — der er ikke sket et fald i løbet af 1980'erne i hele Fællesskabet.
As Mr Vittinghoff has already said, pollution caused by the emission from cars of carbon monoxide and nitrous oxides has steadily increased, not decreased, during the 1980s throughout the Community.
De små biler, som udgør 50% af hele bilparken, må være rene biler, hvis vi skal have tacklet dette problem.
Small cars which represent 50% of all cars on the road need to be clean cars if we are to tackle this problem.
Som det allerede er blevet sagt, er Kommissionens forslag langtfra vidtrækkende nok.
ALBER (PPE). — (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, everyone knows by now that the exhaust gases of cars are harmful.
Det er bydende nødvendigt, at vi i dag tager føringen og siger, at vi støtter de medlemslande, som går ind for anvendelse af katalysatorer.
They cause the destruction of monuments and equally the death of forests.
Vi kan ikke vente på lean-burg mo torerne.
For what percentage of the destruction they are responsible in each case is really secondary and immaterial.
Heller ikke omkostningsspørgsmålet er for os noget argument mod indførelse af miljørigtige normer.
As has already been said, the Commission's proposals do not go nearly far enough.
For øvrigt har en EF-undersøgelse vist, at europæisk automobilindustris omkostningsfordele ved det indre markeds gen nemførelse bliver ganske betragtelige.
It is imperative that today we give a clear lead in saying that we support those Member States who back the use of catalytic convertors.
Det burde komme forbrugerne til gode.
We cannot wait for the lean-burn engines.
I øvrigt henviser jeg til muligheden for i særlige og vel motiverede tilfælde af indrømme tidsbegrænsede ud tagelser, hvis der er tale om europæiske producenter. ter.
We must also say that the financial cost to the motorist would be in fact comparatively small while the environmental gains to the general public would be sub stantial.
Vi må huske på, at vi ikke her beskæftiger os med forsøgsteknologi.
It has to be remembered that we are not talking about some kind of experimental technology here.
Der er allerede konverteret 130 millioner biler.
Already 130 million cars are converted.
Det er mere end en tredjedel af verdens samlede bilpark.
That represents over one-third of the world's cars.
Disse biler produceres allerede til det amerikanske, japanske og schweiziske marked.
These cars are already being produced for the American, Japanese and Swiss markets.
Afslutningsvis appellerer jeg til alle Europa-Parlamentets medlemmer, men i særdeleshed til Kommissionen og Ministerrådet.
We can but ask ourselves, then, if it is not rather schizophrenic to say here that different levels should apply in the Community.
Giv Deres samtykke, beskyt omsider effektivt og vedvarende vort miljø!
It must also be possible to gain political acceptance for what is technically feasible.
Vi trænger til ren luft.
In the Single Act we have for good reason taken a high level of protection in the internal market as a basis.
Naturen trænger til vor beskyttelse.
In my opinion, the industry would be ill advised not to comply, because the public are aware today.
Bidrag især med denne del af miljøbeskyttelsen til at bevare et leveværdigt miljø for vore børn.
I do not want go into what the Austrian Minister for the Environment has said: she has already threatened a boycott of French cars.
Det ville også være forkert at undlade at nævnte det, der skete i sommer, siden Rådets sidste møde, hvor dets fælles holdning blev fastlagt.
It would also be wrong to fail to mention what has happened this summer since the last Council meeting at which they decided their common position.
Denne fælles hold ning er desværre blevet slået helt i stykker ved den franske regerings beslutning om at trække sig ud.
That common position has unfortunately been thrown totally into disarray by the decision of the French Government to withdraw its agreement.
Denne kortsigtede reaktion — efter vor mening her i Parlamentet — på den megen lobby-aktivitet, der har været fra visse bilfabrikanters side, truer med at bringe enhver enighed i fare. Dette er klart uacceptabelt.
This short sighted reaction — as we believe in this Parliament — to heavy lobbying by certain motor manufacturers, threatens to jeopardize any agreement.
Som Europa-Parlamentet tidligere har sagt, må vi gøre noget ved denne form for lobby-virksomhed og den taktik visse bilfabrikanter har anvendt, hvor de nærmest gør en dyd ud af den snavsede luft.
As this Parliament has said in the past, we must speak out against this kind of lobbying and the tactics of some motor manufacturers who have endeavoured to make a virtue out of dirty air.
Tongue takke for de mennesker i Europa, som ønsker de højest mulige miljønormer.
Alber and how safe it is, they will undoubtedly be asking tomorrow how clean it is.
ne af og til trænge til en mundkatalysator, men det er en anden sag.
rapid renewal of the vehicle fleet than by tightening up the rules on emissions.
Borgerens opmærksomhed er vakt.
What do we do when catalytic cars are damaged beyond repair?
På samme måde som han allerede nu ved købet sporger om. hvor hurtig vognen er, hvor stort dens bezinforbrug er og hvor sikker den, vil han sikkert snart spørge om. hvor ren lig den er.
I hope that Parlia ment will follow this matter closely in the future and that we shall be able to get follow-up legislation adopted if the rules prove to have unintended effects.
Det er allerede et kvalitetskendetegn, og industrien vil gøre virkeligt klogt i alt tage hensyn til disse køberønsker og -holdninger.
Since, despite these difficulties, we have chosen to protect our environment by a common set of rules, it is absolutely vital that this set of rules come into effect simultaneously in all the Member States.
På dette punkt vil jeg endnu en gang særligt nævne borgeren, fordi han så tit siger: »Jeg er villig til at gøre noget for miljøbeskyttelsen og også til at betale noget derfor«.
On this point I should like to make a special appeal to the citizen, because he often says: 'I am prepared to do something for the protection of the environment and to pay for it.'
Men så såre man tager ham på ordet, siger han, at katalysatoren alligevel er for bekostelig, eller han kræver afgiftslempelse.
But as soon as he is taken at his word, he says the catalyst is too expensive for him, or he demands a tax concession.
Det er naturligvis farisæisme i renkultur!
That, of course, is pure hypocrisy.
Borgeren må vise. at han i praksis er villig til at gøre noget for miljøbeskyttelsen.
The public must admit that they are prepared to do something for the protection of the environment in practice.
Lykkes det at bringe disse to ekstremer nærmere sam men, så vil vi også nå frem til værdier, der lader sig høre.
If these two extremes can be united, we shall also arrive at levels of which we need not be ashamed.
Derfor går vor gruppe helt og fuldt ind for Vit-tinghpff-betænkningen.
My group therefore fully endorses the Vittinghoff report.
Vi støtter ændringsforslagene, selv om vi mener, at en væsentlig forbedring af for slaget fremdeles er mulig.
We support the amendments, although we feel the proposal can still be greatly improved.
De af os foreslåede forbedringer er også nødvendige for miljøet.
And the improvements we are proposing are necessary for the environment.
Hvis vore ændringsforslag bliver vedtaget her i dag, og derefter bliver vedtaget i Rådet, så behøver der ikke at blive tale om tab af arbejdspladser i forbindelse med indførelsen af denne teknologi.
It is my hope that, armed with these tightened up rules, we shall be able to get Denmark back to the negotiating table in the Council of Environment Ministers, so that the same rules on catalysers will apply throughout the Community.
Det, der mangler, er den politiske vilje til at handle.
IN THE CHAIR: MR ALBER
Poulsen. — Hr. formand, katalysatorreglcrne har fået en hel central placering i den danske bildebat.
POULSEN (ED). — (DA) Mr President, catalytic converters have become a key issue in the Danish motor vehicle debate.
Det er en glæde for mig at konstatere, hvordan det forslag, vi har foran os nu, nævner en række af de kritikpunkter, som er blevet fremhævet i debatten; den har efter min mening manglet erkendelse af problemerne.
I am happy to note that the pro posal now before us mentions a number of the points of criticism which have been raised in the debate; in my opinion, it has failed to recognize the problems.
Heraf følger, at disse udstødningsgassers omfang i alle tilfælde må formindskes.
I think, therefore, that this is an institutional question, that we must tackle with a very severe approach.
Vi må erkende, at katalysatorteknikken er en forældet amerikanske løsning, som bl. a. blev indført for at beskytte amerikansk bilindustri imod import af små benzinøkonomiske biler fra Japan og Europa.
We must realize that the catalytic technique is an anti quated American solution which was introduced, amongst other things, in order to protect the American motor industry from imports of small fuel-saving cars from Japan and Europe.
Vi må erkende, at leanburnmotorer vil gøre katalysatorer overflødige inden for få år.
We must recognize that lean-burn engines will make catalytic converters obsolete within a few years.
Vi må også erkende, at trevejskatalysatorer kræver blyfri benzin, recirkulation af udstødningsgassen, direkte benzinindsprøjtning og montering af lambdasonde.
We must also recognize that three-way catalysers require lead-free petrol, the recycling of exhaust gases, direct petrol injection and the fitting of a lambda probe.
Vi må er kende, at dette indebærer voldsomme prisstigninger på småhusområdet.
We have to recognize that this means hefty price increases in the small-car sector.
Jeg beder om forståelse for, at disse prisstigninger i Danmark vil nærme sig 30 000 kroner som følge af de voldsomme danske bilafgifter.
I would like it to be borne in mind that these price rises in Denmark will be in the region of 30 000 kroner, because of swingeing Danish motor vehicle taxes.
I bunden af markedet er omsætningen fantastisk prisfølsom, og debatten omkring skatteharmonisering har næsten bragt det danske bilsalg til standsning.
At the bottom end of the market, turn over is incredibly price-sensitive, and the debate on tax harmonization has almost brought Danish car sales to a standstill.
Prisfølsomheden bliver ikke mindre under indtrykt af, at leverandørerne af det rhodium, som er nødvendig for katalysatorens funktion, leveres af lande som USSR of Sydafrika.
The price sensitivity is not mitigated in any way by the fact that the rhodium which is needed for the operation of the catalyser is supplied by countries such as the USSR and South Africa.
Disse lande får en monopolstilling, som sætter dem i stand til at styre bilpriserne i Europa. Har man gjort sig konsekvenserne af dette klart?
These countries are in a monopoly position which will enable them to control car prices in Europe.
Hvad der er teknisk gørligt, bør også være politisk gennemførligt.
We must recognize that the effect of the catalyser pro posal on the environment depends entirely on the rate of turnover in the motor trade of the Member States.
Med Den Fælles Akt har vi af gode grunde fastsat et højt beskyttelsesniveau for det indre marked.
In Denmark the average life of a car is almost up to the twelve year limit mentioned in the proposal's recommendation on scrapping.
Efter min opfattelse vil industrien gøre for kert i ikke at efterkomme dette, for borgerne har i dag et åbent øje herfor.
In fact we would do our environment a much greater service by a more
Nu vil jeg ikke tale nærmere om den østrigske miljøminister, der allerede har truet med boykot af franske automobiler.
Let us come to the content of Mr Vittinghoff's report, which we shall support, together with the amend ments.
Det er jo også at skyde noget over målet, og mangen en politiker kun
Has none of our honourable members perhaps remembered that it is that type of pollution that, in a city with at least one million inhabitants, causes about 200 deaths from cancer?
Vi må erkende, at katalysatorforslagets effekt på miljøet er helt afhængig af omsætningshastigheden i medlemslandens bilbranche.
I should like to recall that, when the Commission's proposal was presented in 1984, certain industries, including the Italian car industry, said that they were ready with the technology to conform to the directive.
I Danmark er bilers gen nemsnitlige levetid næsten oppe på de tolv år. som
I should like also to recall that this directive certainly affects the weakest sector of the car world — at least in my country, where there has not been any policy for railways, and where reliance has been placed above all on cars, and in particular those
nævnes i forslagets opfordring til skrotning. I virke ligheden kunne vi gavne vores fælles miljø langt bedre gennem en hurtigere fornyelse af bilparken end en skærpelse af emissionskravene. Vi må erkende desto re kontrolproblemer, som katalysatorlovgivningen in debærer.
Every political party and virtually every member of parliament and every government gives protection of the environment and public health an important place in their manifesto.
Hvad gør vi, når katalysatorbiler totalskades?
Mr President, I and the PSD members in this Parlia ment support the Vittinghoff report and will vote in favour of it.
Hvad gør vi, når katalysatorbiler påfyldes bly holdigt benzin?
We hope it will be approved by a substantial majority.
Hvem holdes ansvarlig for, at katalysatorbilen pludselig forurener mere end en tilsvarende bil uden katalysator?
BJØRNVIG (ARC). — (DA) Mr President, trees are dying, buildings are crumbling and people around us are becoming ill.
Det er mit håb, at vi med disse skærpede regler i hånden er i stand til at få Danmark tilbage til for handlingsbordet i Miljøministerrådet, således at der kommer til at gælde de samme katalysatorregler i hele EF.
A survey promoted by the European Community shows that the Italian people are not only those that are most sensitive to environmental problems, but they are also the most disposed to spend money on tackling environmental problems.
Jeg vil alligevel gerne minde om, at disse initiativer ikke er tilstrækkelige til at løse problemerne; der er også nødvendige initiativer, som vedrører for eksem pel hastighedbegrænsning.
I wanted, however, to recall that these initiatives are not sufficient to resolve such prob lems; initiatives are also necessary in regard, for example, to speed limits.
Jeg tror, at alle er klar over, at man i Italien i sommer gennemførte en fart grænse på 110 kilometer i timen.
I think that you all know that in Italy, during the summer, a speed limit of 110 kilometers per hour was adopted.
Kære hr. Alber, først og fremmest Deres regering har været meget streng med hensyn til at dømme det italienske initiativ, ligesom de italienske ministre støttede sig til, hvad der var sagt i Tyskland for at hæve denne fart grænse til 130 kilometer i timen, undtagen i weekenden og i perioder, hvor et stort antal biler indvaderer motorvejene.
My dear Mr Alber, your government was most severe in judging the Italian initiative, so much so that the Italian ministers took courage from what was said in Germany to raise this speed limit to 130 kilometers per hour, except at weekends and in the periods when a greater number of cars invade the motorways.
Jeg vil derfor opfordre dem, der erklærer sig som tilhængere af miljøbeskyttelse om at vise større konsekvens, og jeg ville gerne have, at man forstod, at forsvaret for miljøet mod de skader, der er forårsaget af bilerne, må ske på en meget konsekvent måde, med initiativer af forskellig art, herunder gen nemførelse af strenge, meget strenge fartgrænser.
I would therefore invite those who set themselves up as Palladians of environmental protection to show greater consistency, and I would like it to be understood that the defence of the environment against the harm caused by cars must be car ried out in a great variety of ways, with initiatives of various kinds, including the adoption of strict, very strict speed limits.
Squarcialupi (COM). — (IT) Hr. formand, jeg finder, at det er krænkende for os at få at vide, at Rådet først har besluttet én ting, og derefter har besluttet ikke at beslutte, mens man afventede den første udtalelse fra Parlamentet. Jeg finder derfor, at dette er et institutionelt spørgsmål, som vi må behandle meget alvor ligt.
They are already producing cars which meet the standards that the Commission only wants to enforce in five years' time. Why did not the Com munity long ago lay down the same requirements as the USA, Switzerland, Austria and Sweden?
Pimenta (LDR). — (PT) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, når vi diskuterer Vittinghoff-betænkningen om foran staltninger mod luftforurening forårsaget af ud stødningsgas fra køretøjsmotorer, er Europa-Parlamentet stillet over for valget mellem tre alternativer: at gå ind for minimumskrav i lighed med visse euro pæiske bilkonstruktører, for hvem konkurrenceevne er baseret på teknologisk tilbagegang og social uansvarlighed at vælge en konsensus-holdning, som størsteparten af regeringerne i medlemslande og Kommissionen går ind for, og som er udtrykt i for slaget til direktiv, eller endelig at vedtage vor kollega Vittinghoffs betænkning og følgelig tilslutte sig flertal let i LJdvalget om Miljø- og Sundhedsanliggender og Forbrugerbeskyttelse, det vil sige at gå endnu videre og forlange, at de strengere regler overholdes.
PIMENTA (LDR). — (PT) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, in discussion the Vittinghoff report on act ion to deal with air pollution caused by vehicle emissions Parliament has three options: the minimalist pos ition of certain European car manufacturers who believe that competitiveness is rooted in technological backwardness and social irresponsibility; the general consensus amongst the majority of Member State governments and shared by the Commission, which is set out in the proposal for a directive; or approval of the report by Mr Vittinghoff and thus the majority view of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Protection that we should go further and require stricter standards to be met.
Vi kommer nu til indholdet af hr. Vittinghoffs be tænkning, som vi vil støtte sammen med ændrings forslagene.
If the Commission's own calculations are to be believed, the motor industry will save 5.5 billion ECU through the internal market.
Ingen af mine kolleger husker måske, at denne form for forurening i en by med mindst en million indbyggere er årsag til cirka 200 kræft dødsfald.
Would it not be reasonable for the motor industry to pay back a little of this profit in the form of a breath of clean air for the environment? ronment?
Som det er velkendt, foreslår Vittinghoff-betænkningen strengere normer end dem, der er foreslået af udvalget, nemlig 20 gram carbonmonoxyd i stedet for 30 gram og 5 gram carbonhidrider og nitrogenoxyder i stedet for 8 gram.
The Vittinghoff report proposes tighter standards than the Commission, namely 20 grams of carbon monoxide instead of 30 and 5 grams as the total for hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen instead of 8.
Jeg vil gerne erindre om, at da Kommissionens for slag blev fremlagt i 1984, sagde visse industrier, blandt andet den italienske automobilindustri, at de ville være parate med teknologi til at overholde di rektivet.
We do not want to wait until oxygen machines have to be installed in Copenhagen as they have been in Tokyo. What Denmark would like to do therefore is to avail itself of the environmental safeguard we won as part of the package vote in 1986.
Der er gået mange år, og det ser ud til, at man stadig ikke har gjort sig den anstrengelse at bru ge den rigtige teknologi for at respektere det, især med henblik på at opnå den ønskede reduktion af miljøforureningen.
In a month's time a com mittee set up by the Danish Environment Minister will present a proposal with the effect that Denmark will in 1990 introduce the standards which all the other EC Member States are delaying until 1993.
Hr. formand, det er bevist, at der er en forbindelse mellem ONx og HC-emissioner og det syrenedbør, der ødelægger vore skove; de skadelige virkninger på den offentlige sundhed af den luftforurening, der spe cielt kommer fra motorkøretøjer, er også bevist; det er bevist, at det er teknisk og økonomisk muligt at holde de normer, der er foreslået i Vittinghoff-betænkningen. Lande som Schweiz, Sverige og Østrig har allerede indført dem med held, og bilkonstruktø-
It has been shown that it is technically and economically feasible to meet the standards proposed in the Vittinghoff report, and countries such as Switzerland, Sweden and Austria have already successfully introduced them — car manufacturers have complied with them by making the appropriate technical changes.
Pimenta rerne har samarbejdet ved at indføre de nødvendige teknologiske ændringer.
Bjørnvig which was taken relatively quickly, and it seemed that a solution could be found just as quickly for small vehicles.
Krav. som til den tid oven i købet sandsynligvis allerede vil være forældede på grund af den forøgede biltrafik, som hr. Vittinghoff også omtalte.
Mr Vittinghoff also referred.
Andre lande burde også benytte sig af EF-pakkens miljøgaranti.
Other countries should also make use of the environmental safeguard in the EC package.
Men hvor galt det står til. går vel først op for Kommissionen og Parlamentet den dag, der ikke er træer nok til at levere papir til alle disse direktiver, forslag, meddelelser og erklæringer om pæne hensigter.
But the seriousness of the situation will only come home to the Commission and Parliament the day there are no longer enough trees to provide the paper for all these directives, proposals, communications and declarations of fine intentions.
Hyklerisk nok, hver gang, man skal træffe en og anden foranstaltning, står deres holdning i modsætning til de principper og de gode intentioner, som de proklamerer og forsvarer ved så danne lejligheder.
As a member of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs and Industrial Policy, which largely agreed with the Commission, I was therefore particularly disappointed to hear during the summer holidays that the new French Government had abandoned the position adopted by the previous French Government and that France now takes the view — this is obviously a new factor we shall have to come to terms with — that even the Commission's proposal goes too far.
Kom missionen ved det, Parlamentet ved det, men hvad har vi gjort for at ændre det?
I have to say something about this on my own behalf.
Diez de Rivera Icaza (NI). — (ES) Hr. formand, jeg må erkende, at omend mit kendskab til bilmekanik er meget begrænset, gør det samme sig langtfra gælden de med hensyn til de alvorlige forurenende virkninger på miljøet såvel i byen som på landet.
My view at the time was that the most important thing was for us to find a common European solution, because any European solution that embraces twelve countries produces more than any national solo effort, even if it means less stringent exhaust levels.
Det er indlysende, at sådanne foranstaltninger, som f. ek. katalysatorer, kan betyde en forhøjelse af bilpriserne, en midlertidig forhøjelse, som kan udlignes med afgiftsmæssige for anstaltninger, indtil bilindustrien har tilpasset sig kra vene, en tilpasning, som ikke behøver at tage alt for land tid.
But when we see individual countries of the European Com munity abandoning compromises previously reached, I take the view that Parliament must consider which side it intends to take: the side of those who demand more stringent exhaust levels, like the Danes, Greeks and Dutch, or the side of those who want less stringent exhaust levels, like the French.
