Towards a safer and more competitive
high-qualityroad transport system in the
Community (1)

• Professional road transport is crucial to the
  smooth functioning of the internal market, and
  its market share is growing all the time.
• it is having to face challenges on a number of
  fronts
• the need to improve the safety performance of
  road transport
• the need to adapt continuously to new technical,
  technological, environmental and logistical
  developments

high-qualityroad transport system in the
Community (2)

• the intensification of transport relations with
  the countries of Central and Eastern Europe
  against the background of enlargement.

Environmental protection sustainable road
transport (1)

• Motor vehicles are responsible for a significant
  part of pollutant emissions in the EU.
• The main actions to reduce pollutant emissions
  from motor vehicles currently take the form of
  Euro 5 and 6 emission limits and the promotion of
  clean road transport vehicles by public
  procurement.

7
Environmental protection sustainable road
transport (2)

• The integrated approach to reduce CO2 emissions
  is helping to achieve the Community objective of
  120 g/km CO2 by 2012. If vehicle motor technology
  is to continue to improve in this direction,
  other technological improvements
  (air-conditioning systems, etc.) and the
  increased use of bio-fuels will also help reduce
  CO2 emissions.

Environmental protection sustainable road
transport (3)

• Special attention should also be paid to the
  recycling of end-of-life vehicles and motor
  vehicle noise.
• Aspects relating to energy, in terms both of cost
  and supply, to have an influence in the future on
  decisions concerning the shape and functioning of
  motor vehicles.
• Member States will be involved in efforts to
  ensure sustainable road transport through better
  traffic management, more responsible driver
  behaviour or tax incentives

Environmental protection sustainable road
transport (4)

• Passenger cars are responsible for 12 of
  Europes greenhouse gas emissions and for a
  significant part of pollutant emissions. The
  automotive industry has signed a voluntary
  agreement with the European Commission to reduce
  new car CO2 emissions to 140 grams per kilometre
  in 2008

10
Environmental protection sustainable road
transport (5)

• The commitment made by the European Automobile
  Manufacturers Association (ACEA) has been
  recognised by the European Commission in the
  Recommendation of 5 February 1999 on the
  reduction of CO2 emissions from passenger cars
  (1999/125/EC). Similar commitments have been
  signed by the Japanese and Korean automobile
  associations (JAMA and KAMA) with the objective
  of reducing new car emissions to 140 grams per
  kilometre in 2009.

11
Energy policy

• The road transport sector uses mainly petrol
  and diesel fuel to power vehicles and is 98
  dependent on products derived from oil which is
  largely imported. Reducing energy consumption in
  road transport through improved energy
  efficiency, diversifying the types of energy used
  and reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels
  are all important priorities for the Commission,
  and the automotive industry has a role to play in
  facilitating the achievement of the energy policy
  objectives

12
Road safety

• Progress has been made in improving European
  road safety during the last 30 years traffic on
  European roads has tripled while the number of
  casualties has halved during the same period.
  This has largely been as a result of improved
  occupant protection in vehicles.

Taxation and fiscal incentives (1)

• The Commission has proposed a directive on
  passenger car related taxes. The proposal deals
  only with registration taxes and annual
  circulation taxes. It introduces three main
  measures
• the gradual abolition of registration taxes over
  a five to ten year long transitional period

15
Taxation and fiscal incentives (2)

• the establishment of a registration tax and
  annual circulation tax refund system to avoid the
  double payment of these taxes
• the introduction of a CO2 -based element in the
  tax base of both the registration tax (pending
  its abolition) and the annual circulation taxes.

Research and development the key to
competitiveness (1)

• The automotive sector was traditionally based on
  manufacturing industry, now is increasingly
  knowledge-based and is now the largest industrial
  investor in RD in Europe (ca. 5 of the sector's
  turnover). With approximately 20 billion (ca.
  5 of the sectors turnover) invested into
  research and product development the automotive
  industry is the largest industrial RD investor
  in Europe.

21
Research and development the key to
competitiveness (2)

• industrial research, technological development
  and demonstration will be encouraged in strategic
  areas (intelligent vehicles, clean vehicles,
  second generation biofuels, hydrogen cells, fuel
  cells, etc.).
• Support for research and development will be
  based on the Seventh Framework Program , European
  financing institutions or public-private
  partnerships.

22
Research and development the key to
competitiveness (3)

• To focus European research in FP7 on both
  incremental research (e.g. technologies for clean
  and energy efficient thermal engines, integrated
  safety systems) and on breakthrough technologies
  (e.g. hydrogen and fuel cells, development of
  rechargeable hybrids, 2nd generation biofuels).

23
A Competitive Automotive Regulatory Framework for
the 21st Century (1)

• Commission's response to the CARS 21 High Level
  Group Final Report
• This impact assessment confirms that the European
  automotive industry is a major contributor to the
  Community Growth and Jobs strategy and currently
  faces considerable changes in its operating
  environment.
• The industry interacts with several important
  areas of Community policy, such as environment,
  energy and transport.

24
A Competitive Automotive Regulatory Framework for
the 21st Century(2)

• The impact assessment concludes that, in line
  with the CARS 21 High Level Group
  recommendations, there are possibilities to
  simplify the acquis communautaire in the
  automotive area and reduce the administrative and
  compliance cost for industry by replacing 38 EC
  Directives with their corresponding UN/ECE
  regulations and introducing self- and virtual
  testing for 25 EC Directives and UN/ECE
  regulations.

25
A Competitive Automotive Regulatory Framework for
the 21st Century (3)

• The impact assessment indicates that the current
  Community framework under the Thematic Strategy
  for Air Pollution to reduce harmful emissions
  from vehicles has proved to be effective and that
  the gradual tightening of emission limits through
  the Euro standards should be continued.
