Amendment 58 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 3
(3) All heavy duty vehicles have significant impact on road infrastructure and contribute to air pollution, while light duty vehicles are at the source of the majority of the negative environmental and social impacts from road transport related to emissions and congestion. In the interest of equal treatment and fair competition, it should be ensured that vehicleslight duty vehicles intended for the carriage of goods which are so far not covered by the framework set out in Directive 1999/62/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council15 in respect of tolls and user charges are included into this framework. The scope of that Directive should therefore be extended to heavy duty vehicles other than those intended for the carriage of goods and to light duty vehicles, including passenger carlight duty vehicles. _________________ 15 Directive 1999/62/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 1999 on the charging of heavy goods vehicles for the use of certain infrastructures (OJ L 187, 20.7.1999, p. 42).

Amendment 82 #
Proposal for a directive

Amendment 87 #
Proposal for a directive
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 categories except for private and utility vehicles which are not transporting goods. 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.

Amendment 94 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 17
(17) In case a Member State introduces a system of road charging, compensations granted may, according to the case, result in the discrimination of non-resident road users. The possibility to grant compensation at such occasion should therefore be limited to the cases of tolls and should no longer be available in the case of user charges.deleted

Amendment 96 #
Proposal for a directive

(17a) Member States should be able to set up a compensation mechanism for both road tolls and user charges in order to limit the impact of such a measure, notably on very small, small and medium- sized enterprises.

Amendment 102 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 19
(19) Road charges can mobilise resources that contribute to the financing of the maintenance and development of high quality transport infrastructure. It is therefore appropriate to incentivise Member States to use revenues from road charges accordingly and, to this end, to require that they adequately report oninform users about the use of such revenues. That should in particular help identifying possible financing gaps, and raising the public acceptance of road charging.
