MEPs of the Committee on Environment, Public Health and Food Safety (ENVI) vote their position on the Euro 7 proposal to reduce air pollution from new motor vehicles sold in the EU to meet the European Green Deal's zero-pollution ambition, while keeping vehicles affordable for consumers and promoting Europe's competitiveness. The new standards would ensure cleaner vehicles on our roads and improved air quality, protecting the health of our citizens and the environment. Euro 7 standards and CO2 emission standards for vehicles work hand-in-hand to deliver air quality for citizens, as notably the increased uptake of electric vehicles also creates certain air quality benefits. The footage shows extracts from the vote and statement by Alexandr VONDRA (ECR, CZ), Rapporteur.

SOUNDBITE (English), Alexandr VORTA (ECR, CZ), I think that now we are closer to the elections and the people are starting to take care, not just the green activists but also the ordinary people, because automobile is the subject of the daily need.

SOUNDBITE (English), Alexandr VORTA (ECR, CZ), Here we had a very different coalition and I'm very glad that it's a coalition based on rationality and selective approach, which on one hand can help the environment. That's why we supported to control the emission from the tires and brakes, because limiting microplastics it's really a challenge.

SOUNDBITE (English), Alexandr VORTA (ECR, CZ), I think we are bringing a very realistic solution, offering modest, appropriate time to accommodate and, if approved in the plenary in November, I think we have a very solid basis for the trialogue negotiations, which also keep it a chance for the people to buy the car for affordable prices until electric cars will be available for affordable prices.
