Oral explanations of vote

  Seán Kelly (PPE). – Mr President, I am pleased to support this report by my colleague Petar Vitanov as it embraces Europe’s transition away from carbon-based fuel to renewable sustainable energy sources. This report aligns with the objectives outlined in the European Green Deal, which emphasises the transitioning towards a zero-emission transport sector, as well as the necessity for appropriate infrastructure to support this transition, keeping this legislation both ambitious and realistic.

Establishing a robust and dependable infrastructure through the Regulation’s mandatory deployment of a minimum charging and hydrogen refuelling infrastructure is vital to facilitate the smooth transition of the transport sector, and empower citizens to embrace and utilise new technologies. This is an absolute and immediate priority.
