Recital 5
Recital 5
(5) Innovation of new technologies helps to lower vehicle emissions, supporting the decarbonisation of the transport sector. An increased uptake of low- and zero-emission road vehicles is likelywill to reduce emissions of CO2 and certain pollutant emissions (particulate matter, nitrogen oxides and non-methane hydrocarbons) and to promote competitiveness and growth of the European industry in the increasing global markets for low- and zero-emission vehicles.
Amendment 44 #
(6) PTaking into account that government expenditure on goods, works and services represents around 14% of GDP, public authorities, through their procurement policy, can establish and support markets for innovative goods and services. Directives 2014/24/EU24 and 2014/25/EU25 set out minimum harmonised public procurement rules harmonising the way public authorities and certain public utility operators purchase goods, works and services. In particular, they set overall thresholds for the volume of contracts to be subject to Union legislation, which also apply to the Clean Vehicles Directive. _________________ 24 25OJ L 94, 28.3.2014, p. 65 - 242.

Recital 7 b (new)
(7b) The availability of charging and refuelling infrastructure is a prerequisite for any transport operation with alternative fuelled vehicles, including for public transport. Therefore, the aspects of fostering alternative fuels infrastructure for public transport should be strengthened in Directive 2014/94/EU. In the absence of a revision, the Commission shall establish an action plan for public transport infrastructure.

Recital 9 a (new)
(9a) As a result of the application of the Directive and the procurement of clean vehicles, the public sector will strengthen the market in the short term, creating a framework for the entire sector. It is necessary to integrate the whole transport sector into the scope of this Directive, at the latest within five years after the Directive came into force.

Recital 10
Recital 10
(10) There is widespread support from key stake amended Directive shoulders for a definition of clean vehicles taking account of reduction requirements for greenhouse gases and air pollutant emissions contribute to a reduction of emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse from light- and heavy- duty vehicles. To ensure that there are adequate incentives to supporting market- uptake of low- and zero-emission vehicles in the Union, provisions for their public procurement under this amendment should be aligned with provisions of Union legislation on CO2 emission performance of cars and vans for the post-2020 period26 - this approach must also apply to heavy- duty vehicles. Action carried out under the amended Directive will contribute to compliance with the requirements of these standards. A more ambitious approach for public procurement can provide an important additional market stimulus. _________________ 26; In particular, the supply of heavy-duty vehicles must be further stimulated, due to the less advanced level of market maturity of "clean" heavy-duty vehicles. _________________ 26 COM(2017) 676 final COM(2017) 676 final

Recital 10 a (new)
Recital 10 a (new)
(10a) In order to achieve an improvement of air quality in municipalities, it is crucial to renew the transport fleet to clean vehicle standard. Furthermore, the principles of the circular economy require the extension of product life. Therefore, the retrofitting of vehicles to clean vehicle standard can also be counted towards the achievement of the minimum procurement targets set out in the Directive.
Amendment 80 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 12
Recital 12
(12) Setting minimum targets for clean vehicle procurement to be achieved by 2025 and by 2030 at Member State level should contribute to policy certainty for markets where investments in low- and zero-emission mobility are warranted. The minimum targets support market creation throughout the Union. They provide time for the adjustment of public procurement processes and give a clear market signal. The Impact Assessment notes that Member States increasingly set targets, depending on their economic capacity and how serious the problem is. Different targets should be set for different Member States in accordance with their economic capacity (Gross Domestic Product per capita) and exposure to pollution (urban population density). Minimum procurement targets should be complemented by the obligation of the contracting authorities, entities and operators to consider relevant energy and environmental aspects in all their procurement procedures. The Territorial Impact Assessment of this amended Directive illustrated that the impact will be evenly distributed among regions in the Union.

Recital 18 a (new)
Recital 18 a (new)
(18a) To ensure that public authorities are incentivised to purchase clean vehicles and Member States invest in the deployment of the alternative fuels infrastructure, but also to avoid the risk of such purchases leading to higher prices for passengers, the Union's budgetary and financial policy after 2020 should provide support for contracting entities. That should be reflected in the future Multiannual Financial Framework and the rules regarding sustainable finance and Union financial institutions. Additionally, Member States shall expand the financial and non-financial incentives in order to speed up the market uptake of clean vehicles. These efforts will reduce the initial high investment for the infrastructural changes and help the sector move much faster into the direction promoted by the European Commission. Setting up a European Clean Mobility Fund could help to cover the necessary investments for the establishment of alternative fuels infrastructure and subsequently speed up the uptake of clean vehicles.
