Amendment 27 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Highlights that for this purpose it will be necessary to increase the use of electro-mobility and alternative fuels, as road transport is responsible for one fifth of EU emissions, and this figure is increasing, but with an eye also to the contrary carbon emissions and environmental impact in the production of these alternative energy sources; underlines the need to reduce the gap between stated decarbonisation targets and real on-road emissions;
Amendment 54 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Underlines that, according to WHO figures, road transport contributes to air and noise pollution, with a negative impact on citizens’ health, especially in urban areas; encourages the implementation of an effective strategy to reduce the level of pollutants such as NOx, NO2 and particulate matter; encourages also an increase in local production of everyday consumables items such as food, clothing etc, with a resultant reduction in the need for such heavy transport, refrigerated transport especially with its heavier energy consumption; in that spirit, calls for a full objective examination of the social and environmental effects of globalisation both positive and negative;
