European Parliament Alerts from the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety committee

Highlights - Charging of heavy goods vehicles for the use of certain infrastructures - Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety 21-03-2018 12:04 PM CET On 27 March, the ENVI Committee will vote on the above draft opinion. This Commission proposal amends the "Eurovignette" Directive which provides the legal framework for charging heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) for the use of certain roads. Overall, the rapporteur welcomes the aims of the Commission's proposal: to promote financially and environmentally sustainable road transport through wider application of the 'user pays' and 'polluter pays' principles. The opinion aims to ensure that efficient and fair road pricing can contribute to the EU's efforts to cut both CO2 and pollutant emissions by better implementing the 'polluter pays' principle and helping to accelerate the transition to clean and zero-emission mobility.
