Draft opinion
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
Recognises the fact that road transport has brought down considerably its emissions of particulate matter (PM 10), acidifying substances and ozone precursors, but is still worried about its level of nitrogen oxides and of fine particulates (Term report 2008, fig. 5.1) . Is however particularly disappointed about its CO2 emissions, which in the period from 1990 - 2006 increased by 28 %, compared to a reduction of 3 % in the other sectors. Calls for freight traffic to be gradually transferred off the roads and onto rail and other energy efficient transport means.

Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. IRecognises that according to International Maritime Organisation (IMO), maritime transport emits 3 to 5 times less CO2 than land transport but is concerned about the expected emissions of SOx and NOx from maritime transport which will be approximately equivalent to land-based transport by 2020, and the failedinconclusive attempt by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO)MO to put in place a CO2 emission reduction system. Demands therefore the inclusion of examination of the possibility of including maritime transport in the European Emission Trading Scheme if the IMO negotiations fail and after taking into consideration the international nature of the maritime transport and possible carbon-leakage towards non-EU ports and land transport.
