(4) Time-based user charges do by nature not accurately reflect infrastructure costs actually induced and, for similar reasons, are not effective when it comes to incentivising cleaner and more efficient operations, or reducing congestion. They should therefore be should therefore, in the case of heavy goods vehicles, gradually be replaced by distance-based charges, which are fairer, more efficient and more effective. In the case of light duty vehicles (passenger cars, minibuses and vans) and coaches and buses, it should be possible to maintain time-based user charges.

(5) In order to secure user acceptance of future road charging schemes, Member States should be allowed to introduce and maintain adequate systems for the collection of charges as part of a wider package of mobility services. Such systems should ensure a fair distribution of infrastructure costs and reflect the '‘polluter pays'’ principle. Any Member States introducing such a system should ensure that it complies with the provisions of Directive 2004/52/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council16 . _________________ 16 Directive 2004/52/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the interoperability of electronic road toll systems in the Community (Text with EEA relevance), OJ L 166, 30.4.2004, p. 124–143, as well as the need to take into account the different means and social situations of the various sections of society and other differences between Member States.

Recital 9
(9) The variation of infrastructure charges according to Euro emission class has contributed to the use of cleaner vehicles. However, with the renewal of vehicle fleets, the variation of charges on this basis on the inter-urban network is expected to become obsolete by the end of 2020 and should therefore be phased out by that timewhen the technical and legal preconditions for doing so can be established. From the same point in time, external-cost charging should be applied more systematically, as a targeted means to recover external cost in respect of situations in which it matters most.

Recital 13
(13) Road congestion, to which all motor vehicles contribute in different proportions, represents a cost of about 1 % of GDP. A significant part of this cost can be attributed to interurban congestion. A specific congestion charge should therefore be allowed, on condition that it is applied to all vehicle categoriesTherefore, it should be possible to introduce a specific congestion charge where that is justified in the light of the road charges already levied on the same route. In order to be effective and proportionate, the charge should be calculated on the basis of the marginal congestion cost and differentiated according to location, time and vehicle category. In order to maximise the positive effect of congestion charges, corresponding revenues should be allocated to projects addressing the sources of the problem.

(20a) In view of the principle of subsidiarity and the economic and other differences between Member States and the disparities in means between individual sections of society, it should remain the responsibility of the Member States to introduce tolls and to introduce and maintain time- or distance-based user charges for passenger cars, vans, minibuses, coaches and buses.

Article 7 g – paragraph 4 – subparagraph 2
Within one year from the entry into force of the delegated act, Member States shall vary the infrastructure charge taking into account the reference CO2 emission values and the relevant vehicle categorisation. Charges shall be varied in such a way that no infrastructure charge is more than 100% above the same charge for equivalent vehicles having the lowest, but not zero, CO2 emissions. Zero-emission vehicles and zero-emission operations shall benefit from infrastructure charges reduced by 75% compared to the highest rate. (This amendment should apply to Annex VII as well.)
