The European Parliament\u00a0meeting in\u00a0Plenary\u00a0Session\u00a0on 22 June approved\u00a0the ETS2 proposal\u00a0with the inclusion of commercial transport from 2024.<\/p>\n
UETR has grave concerns about the impact of the ETS2 on small businesses, as supported by the EP.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The unbearable increase in energy prices in Europe is already putting at risk road transport companies which play a vital role delivering goods to people and business.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We have\u00a0no certainties\u00a0that the conditions to create an enabling environment to ensure a successful transition to green economy will be in place in the short term.\u00a0More specifically,\u00a0road transport companies are concerned that they would not be\u00a0able to rely upon alternative fuels infrastructure capacity\u00a0in Europe in parallel with the entry into force of ETS2.\u00a0<\/p>\n
UETR has always remarked that the\u00a0EU has to realistically prioritise the acceleration of full development of alternative fuels infrastructure (AFIR) first.\u00a0Any possible inclusion of road transport in ETS needs as essential prerequisite the full deployment of such infrastructure all over the EU.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are missing the opportunity to have a workable and\u00a0<\/strong>successful ecological transition of the sector. The future of those delivering goods\u00a0to the benefit of citizens and the real economy\u00a0is\u00a0now even more\u00a0uncertain\u201d said UETR President Julio Villaescusa.<\/p>\n The post UETR expresses grave concerns regarding the EP Plenary vote on ETS2 including road transport<\/a> appeared first on UETR<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The European Parliament\u00a0meeting in\u00a0Plenary\u00a0Session\u00a0on 22 June approved\u00a0the ETS2 proposal\u00a0with the inclusion of commercial transport from 2024.
