Periodic roadworthiness tests and technical roadside inspection (Roadworthiness package) (A10-0139/2026 - Jens Gieseke) (vote)
Mr President, dear colleagues, I am speaking on behalf of our shadow rapporteur Tilly Metz. As the Greens-EFA we support the mandate for the trilogues on the roadworthiness package as already voted in the TRAN Committee. This is a compromise and we do not have the level of ambition in all parts as we would have liked, but the mandate also brings concrete improvements. For the first time, for example, Member States will have to use remote‑sensing technology to monitor real‑world air pollution. This can help tackle in-use emissions and noise pollution. We also welcome stronger action against odometer fraud, better protection for second-hand car buyers and the inclusion of vans in roadside inspections. So with this mandate we improve the current rules and therefore support confirming the TRAN mandate and invite you all to do the same.
