Article 7h – paragraph 1 a (new)
1a. In order to prevent external costs adversely influencing the economies of peripheral regions, Member States shall provide for discounts and reductions for commercial vehicles on the external cost charge element of a toll. Those discounts and reductions, applicable to heavy vehicles, must be correlated to the distance travelled and decrease as that distance increases, in line with the following formula: Ca,b,c = CUa,b,c x L x K K=L–d d (reduction function) = L2 x 8 / 108 0 < L < 2500 (where the distance travelled is over 2 500 km, the distance factor shall be invariable - K = 0.5) Ca,b,c = Overall external cost (euro/vehicle) A,b,c = atmospheric pollution, noise pollution, congestion CUa,b,c = unit external cost (euro/vehicle kilometre) L = overall distance travelled by the vehicle (kilometres) K = distance factor.
