(8) The Impact Assessment carried out underlines the benefits of changing the overall governance approach to clean vehicle procurement at Union level. Setting minimum procurement targets can effectively reach the objective of impacting market uptake of clean vehicles in comparison to relying on the internalisation of external cost into overall procurement decisions, while noting the relevance to consider environmental aspects in all procurement decisions. The medium and long-term benefits for European citizens and enterprises fully justify this approach insofar as it does not prescribe a specific technology to use for contracting authorities, entities and operators. The EU nonetheless appreciates the often very difficult financial situation of many municipalities and their financial capacity when it comes to implementing the Directive.

(16) Further support to market uptake of clean vehicles can be achieved by providing targeted public support measures at national and Union level. This includes better exchange of knowledge and alignment of procurement to enable actions at a scale great enough for cost reductions and market impact. Regional pilot projects should also be encouraged, particularly in places where rural and urban areas interconnect. The possibility of public support in favour of promoting development of infrastructures necessary for the distribution of alternative fuels is recognised in the Guidelines on State aid for environmental protection and energy 2014-202027 . However, the rules of the Treaty, and in particular Articles 107 and 108 thereof, will continue to apply to such public support. _________________ 27 OJ C 200, 28.6.2014, p. 1.
