Mutual recognition of eco-stickers
27.7.2017
Question for written answer E-005106-17
to the Commission
Rule 130
Axel Voss (PPE)
In many of the Member States there are now, in addition to vignettes, eco-stickers and emissions stickers to regulate vehicle access to different low-emission zones. For EU citizens travelling within the EU, this means a considerable administrative burden and in practical terms, leads to problems of windscreen space for cars when vignettes are also used. The common emissions standards in the EU mean that comparability for cars within the EU should not be a problem.
Will the Commission answer the following questions on this matter:
- —Is the Commission planning to put forward proposals for a common system of eco-stickers or rules for the mutual recognition of eco-stickers throughout the EU?
- —If not, why not, and what alternatives does it envisage?
