Recital 7
(7) Pursuant to Directive 1999/62/EC, an external-cost charge mayust be imposed at a level close to the social marginal cost of the usage of the vehicle in question. That method has proven to be the fairest and most efficient way to take account of negative environmental and health impacts of air pollution and noise generated by heavy duty vehicles, and would ensure a fair contribution from heavy duty vehicles to meeting EU air quality standards17 and any applicable noise limits or targets. The application of such charges should therefore be facilitated. _________________ 17 Directive 2008/50/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2008 on ambient air quality and cleaner air for Europe, OJ L 152, 11.06.2008, p. 1-44.

Recital 9
(9) The variation of infrastructure charges according to Euro emission class has contributed to the use of cleaner vehicles. However, with the renewal of vehicle fleets, the variation of charges on this basis on the inter-urban network is expected to become obsolete by the end of 2020 and should therefore be phased out by that time. From the same point in time, external-cost charging shouldmust be applied more systematically, as a targeted means to recover external cost in respect of situations in which it matters most.

Recital 16
(16) Mark-ups added to the infrastructure charge could also provide a useful contribution to addressing problems related to significant environmental damage or congestion caused by the use of certain roads, not only within mountainous areas. The current restriction of mark-ups to such areas should therefore be removed. In order to avoid double charging of users, mark-ups should be excluded on road sections on which a congestion charge is applied.

Recital 19
Recital 19
(19) Road charges can mobilise resources that contribute to the financing and cross- financing of alternative transport infrastructure projects and of the maintenance and development of high quality, efficient and environment- friendly transport infrastructure. It is therefore appropriate to incentivise Member States to use revenues from road charges accordingly and, to this end, to require that they adequately report on the use of such revenues. That should in particular help identifying possible financing gaps, and raising the public acceptance of road charging.

Recital 21
Recital 21
(21) It is necessary to ensure that external-cost charges continue to reflect the cost of air pollution and noise generated by heavy duty vehicles and vans intended for the carriage of goods as accurately as possible without rendering the charging scheme excessively complex, to incentivise the use of the most fuel-efficient vehicles, and to keep the incentives effective and the differentiation of road charges up-to-date. Therefore, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission for the purpose of adapting the referenceminimum values for external cost charging to scientific progress, defining the modalities for the revenue-neutral variation of infrastructure charges according to the CO2 emissions from heavy duty vehicles and vans intended for the carriage of goods, and adapting the modalities of the variation of infrastructure charges for light duty vehicles to technical progress. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level and that those consultations be conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement on Better Law-Making of 13 April 201621. In particular, to ensure equal participation in the preparation of delegated acts, the European Parliament and the Council receive all documents at the same time as Member States’ experts, and their experts systematically have access to meetings of Commission expert groups dealing with the preparation of delegated acts. _________________ 21 OJ L 123, 12.5.2016, p. 1.

(12a) Trans-Alpine transit represents a particular problem for the regions affected, in the form of noise and air pollution and wear and tear on infrastructure, which is exacerbated by cost competition with nearby corridors. The regions affected and the Member States must therefore be afforded a broad measure of flexibility when it comes to the charging of external costs and the implementation of traffic-management measures, not least with a view to preventing unwanted displacement effects and the diversion of traffic between corridors.

In this connection, account shall be taken of existing rates applied in surrounding corridors for the same transport axis so that unwanted displacement and diversion of traffic between corridors is avoided.
