Ha. whereas the Commission has repeatedly called on Member States to shift tax burden from labour to other tax bases, such as environmental pollution and consumption; whereas internalising negative externalities of production and transport is a pivotal element of EU policy objectives; whereas measures which only apply to domestic products, transporters or producers would put additional pressure on the competitiveness of domestic businesses, in particular in energy-intensive industries or the transport sector, compared with businesses operating outside the EU which are not subject to internalisation levies;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 30 a (new)
Paragraph 30 a (new)
30a. Calls on the Commission to examine a proportional and non-discriminatory carbon equalisation system as referred to in Directive 2009/29/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 23 April 2009, internalising the negative externalities of production and transport, such as a European border tax adjustment (BTA) levied by Member States on import products, calculated on the basis of the life-cycle carbon cost of products, and including a rebate mechanism for exports; stresses that in order for a carbon equalisation system applied to import products to be compatible with WTO rules domestic carbon taxation should apply to similar products and should not be imposed directly on producers or transporters; acknowledges that due to its practical complexity a BTA should be carefully designed and gradually implemented in line with international trade agreements, e.g. through a pilot project in sectors which are most affected by domestic environmental levies; believes that a BTA would benefit both the competitiveness of EU businesses and the environmental sustainability of international production and transport; points out that revenues from a BTA could be used to decrease taxes, in particular on labour, and/or support the development of sustainable technologies.

(6a) In order to meet the objectives of the White Paper on Transport published in 2011 the revision of Directive 96/53/EC is an opportunity to improve the driver’s safety and comfort taking into account the requirements set out in the Occupational Health and Safety Framework Directive 89/391/EEC.

Recital 7
(7) Longer vehicles may be used in cross- border transport if the twowo or several Member States concerned already allow it and if the conditions for derogation under Article 4(3), (4) or (5) of the Directive are met. The European Commission has already provided guidance on the application of Article 4 of the Directive. The transport operations referred to in Article 4(4) do not have a significant impact on international competition if the cross- border use remains limited to two Member States where the existing infrastructure and the road safety requirements allow itCompetent authorities of Member States should determine specific requirements to the vehicle, the infrastructure and the driver in order to assure an adequate level of safety. The cross-border use of these vehicles should be backed by bilateral or multilateral agreements between the competent authorities of Member States concerned specifying the routes and other conditions that need to be met. The European Commission has already provided guidance on the application of Article 4 of the Directive. This balances the Member States’ right under the principle of subsidiarity to decide on transport solutions suited to their specific circumstances with the need to prevent such policies from distorting the internal market. The provisions of Article 4 (4) are clarified in this respect.

(23) Odometer fraud is considered to affect between 5% and 12% of used cars sales, resulting in a very important cost to society of several billions Euros yearly and in an incorrect evaluation of a roadworthiness condition of a vehicle. With a view to combat odometer fraud, the recording of mileage in the roadworthiness certificate combined with the obligation to present the certificate of the previous test would facilitate the detection of tampering or manipulation of the odometer. The establishment of a database recording the mileage of vehicles and the serious accidents in which they have been involved, with due regard for data protection, will also help to prevent manipulation and to make important information accessible. Odometer fraud should alsofurthermore be more systematically considered as an offence liable to a penalty.

(18) In order to give the precedence to the construction of priority projects of European interestojects designed to promote sustainable mobility at large, Member States which have the possibility of applying a mark-up should use this option before levying an external cost charge. To avoid an undue charging of users, an external cost charge should not be combined with a mark-up unless the external costs exceed the amount of the mark-up already levied. In such a case, it is thus appropriate that the amount of the mark-up should be deducted from the external cost charge.

(24) In accordance with the transport policy objectives of this Directive, the additional revenue generated from an external cost charge should be used for projects with a broad Community interest and designed to promote sustainable mobility at large. Such projects should therefore relate to facilitating efficient pricing, reducing road transport pollution at source, mitigating its effects, improving CO2 and energy performance of vehicles, and developing alternative infrastructure for transport usersnd improving transport infrastructure. It includes, for example, research and development on cleaner vehicles and the implementation of the transport part of the action plans under Council Directive 96/62/EC of 27 September 1996 on ambient air quality assessment and management and Directive 2002/49/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 June 2002 relating to the assessment and management of environmental noise, which may comprise measures to mitigate traffic-based noise and air pollution around large infrastructure and in agglomerations. Earmarking this revenue does not release Member States from the obligation laid down in Article 88(3) of the Treaty to notify the Commission of certain national measures, nor does it prejudge the outcome of any procedures initiated under Articles 87 and 88 of the Treaty.
