Hvad angår Fællesskabets strategi om luftforurening fra søgående skibe, glæder jeg mig som sagt meget over Kommissionens offentliggørelse af denne meddelelse om en EU-strategi for reduktion af søgående skibes emissioner til luften.
In the first reading on sulphur levels in marine fuel, the European Parliament asked for stricter levels for sulphur in marine fuel, and as a first step towards looking at this, I am very pleased that the Commission has requested a study which has now been produced - that looks into the particular issues involved, arising from a potential price premium for 0.5% sulphur in marine fuel.
