Amendment 34 #

2008/2041(INI)

Draft opinion
Paragraph 7
7. Points out that the correct internalisation of external costs for every transport mode should be the basis for a sustainable transport systemshould be the basis for every sustainable transport system; selection of the method and charges imposed to tackle the external costs (principally traffic jams, air pollution, noise) should, however, be governed by the subsidiarity principle in urban areas, so that it must be made clear that imposing environmental taxes on TEN motorways in urban areas falls within the subsidiarity principle for all vehicles (cars and lorries);

Amendment 40 #

2008/2041(INI)

Draft opinion
Paragraph 8
8. Calls on the European Commission to encourage local authorities toCommission to introduce a uniform system of plates based on emission standards and a certification scheme for upgrade systems for car, lorry and off-road vehicle particulate filters to enable local and Member State authorities more easily to enforce measures and provide incentives for business and private users to scomply witch to low-he EU emission means of transport, and/or to renew existing fleets, or to upgrade them with available environmentally friendly technologielimits for fine particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NOx); this will make it possible to ensure that low-emission vehicles and exhaust technologies are used in urban areas;

The Commission report shall review whether the formula has had the anticipated effect and created a crucial incentive for building and operating more incineration facilities with high energy efficiency. In order for the competent authority to declare the facility a recovery or disposal facility on the basis of the formula in Annex II in the footnote to R1, the operator of the facility shall indicate in particular how much purchased energy is required for the waste treatment and the form and quantity of energy emitted (electric and thermal).

Amendment 239 #

2005/0281(COD)


Annex II – point R 1 – footnote 1
* This includes incineration facilities dedicated to the processing of municipal solid waste only where their energy efficiency is equal to or above: 0.60 for installations in operation and permitted in accordance with applicable Community legislation before 1 January 2009, 0.65 for installations permitted after 31 December 2008, using the following formula: Energy efficiency = (Ep -( Ef + Ei)) / (0.97 xO (Ew + Ef)) In which: Ep means annual energy produced as heat or electricity. It is calculated with energy in the form of electricity being multiplied by 2.6 and heat produced for commercial use multiplied by 1.1 (GJ/year). Ef means annual energy input to the system from fuels contributing to the production of steam (GJ/year) Ew means annual energy contained in the treated waste calculated using the lower net calorific value of the waste (GJ/year). Ei means annual energy imported excluding Ew and Ef (GJ/year). 0.97 is a factor accounting for energy losses due to bottom ash and radiation. This formula shall be applied in accordance with the reference document on Best Available Techniques for waste incineration.deleted
