Commission statements
Re Article 3(5) and Article 4(3)
When examining requests for derogations under Article 3(5) and Article 4(3), the Commission will verify whether the derogation is compatible with Community law, including competition law, taking account of the availability in the Community of sufficient quantities of fuels of a satisfactory quality.
Re the European Parliament's Amendment No 18
The Commission recognises the importance of fiscal incentive measures to encourage the use of improved fuels. It will take due account of this when implementing Council Directive 92/81/EEC and will ensure, within the limits of its powers, that the relevant provisions of that Directive are implemented rapidly.
