Eurojust-Denmark Agreement on judicial cooperation in criminal matters (A8-0192/2019 - Claude Moraes) FR

18-04-2019

. – J’ai voté en faveur de l’accord de coopération entre Eurojust et le Danemark. Le Danemark ne participant pas à Eurojust, cet accord régit la coopération judiciaire en matière pénale entre l’État membre et l’agence. Cet accord permettra notamment l’échange d’informations ainsi qu’une participation plus importante du représentant d’Eurojust au Danemark aux réunions de l’agence. La coopération judiciaire en matière pénale est cruciale au sein de l’Union et cet accord avec le Danemark renforcera sans nul doute l’efficacité du rôle joué par Eurojust en la matière.

CO2 emission performance standards for new heavy-duty vehicles (A8-0354/2018 - Bas Eickhout) NL

18-04-2019

. – Met de goedkeuring van dit verslag heeft de EU de uitstootnormen voor vrachtwagens vastgelegd. Het reguleren van de CO2-emissies van vrachtwagens vormt meteen ook het sluitstuk van de Europese ambities om schadelijke uitstootgassen afkomstig van het wegverkeer terug te dringen. Het CO2-aandeel van het zware vrachtverkeer bedraagt vandaag de dag 27 %. Verwacht wordt dat het vrachtvervoer in de toekomst nog verder uitbreidt en de uitstoot dus ook navenant zal toenemen. Het is dus aannemelijk dat ook deze sector significante CO2-reductie realiseert. Daarom is het goed dat het Parlement, de Commissie en de Raad zijn overeengekomen om tegen 2030 de uitstoot van nieuwe vrachtwagens met 30 % te verminderen en tegen 2050 een nuluitstoot na te streven. Knippen in de uitstoot betekent ook dat fabrikanten worden aangespoord om te innoveren in schone technologie en meer lage- en nulemissievoertuigen van de band te laten rollen. Dat is een goede zaak, want als de Europese constructeurs op belangrijke vervoersmarkten zoals de VS, Canada en China willen meespelen, dan pleit het in hun voordeel als ze inzetten op de productie van ‘schonere’ en ‘zuiniger’ vrachtwagens.

Promotion of clean and energy-efficient road transport vehicles (A8-0321/2018 - Andrzej Grzyb) NL

18-04-2019

. – Terwijl de meeste sectoren inspanningen hebben geleverd om de CO2-uitstoot te reduceren, zien we dat het toenemend verkeer een extra uitdaging vormt bij het realiseren van de klimaatdoelstellingen. Met de goedkeuring van dit verslag worden een aantal belangrijke instrumenten in stelling gebracht die de aanschaf van "schonere" voertuigen moeten faciliteren. Als lidstaten en overheden in hun transitie naar een circulair aankoopbeleid schone en energiezuinige voertuigen verkiezen is dit een goede zaak, want op die manier geven we een belangrijke stimulans aan de markt om nog meer in te zetten op de productie van lage- en nulemissievoertuigen.
