Under the codecision procedure - Parliament having approved the Council’s common position - the Council adopted the Directive, the Swedish delegation voting against.
The rapporteur criticised the Commission’s tendency to delay implementing the proposed timetable for the information provided for by the existing Directives on pollutants from diesel engines. She also urged the Commission to take over the amendments tabled to prevent any subsequent delays involving the completion of the codecision procedure in question. Commissioner Bangemann supported the amendments of the Committee on the Environment aimed at speeding up the procedure. In fact, the sooner Parliament held its second reading, the better.
Pending Parliament’s opinion the Council held a debate on the proposals amending Directives 70/220/EEC and 88/77/EEC and providing for: - firstly, an extension of the special arrangements for small diesel engines until 30 September 1999, by prescribing a reduction in the limit value for particulate emissions to 0.25 g/kWh (instead of the current 0.61 g/kWh), on the grounds that those engines cannot yet meet the 0.15 g/kWh limit to be complied with from 1 October 1995 under Directive 91/542/EEC; - secondly, a statistical method to check production conformity. The debate brought out the main problems posed by the proposals, which relate to tax incentives, limit values and possible exemptions. The Permanent Representatives Committee will expedite examination of the dossier in the light of Parliament’s opinion.
In outlining its options for action, the Commission appeared to be facing a dilemma between total compliance with all EURO 2 limits, with correspondingly adverse consequences for the design of smaller commercial vehicles, and temporary abandonment of the complete reduction of particulate emission values for smaller diesel engines. In light of the present situation, it was difficult to decide whether the Commission had opted for the most appropriate line of action. The Commission’s proposed new method for monitoring production conformity was to be warmly welcomed. It was technically reliable and standardised testing and engineering practices in this field. Since these commercial vehicles operated principally in urban areas and since particulate emissions constituted a particular health threat, the ESC expressly regretted that a transitional period of more than 4 years had had to be allowed for the attainment of the EURO 2 standard. It called on the Commission to examine once again, in conjunction with the industry and the relevant social interest groups, the possibility of ending the exceptional regime for small diesel engines before 30 September 2000. Since these new provisions were to apply to the ‘type approval’ of new engines from 1 October 1995, and bearing in mind the time required for completion of the relevant procedures, the Economic and Social Committee called for the rapid implementation of the Commission proposal.
