Vol. 415 No. 8

Written Answers. - EC Diesel Emission Standards.

Phil Hogan

Question:

347 Mr. Hogan asked the Minister for the Environment if he will outline the strict EC standards controlling emissions from diesel engined heavy goods vehicles which will come into operation on 1 January 1993; if he will outline the impact which this will have on our haulage industry; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The standards concerned are set out in Directive 91/542/EEC of 1 October 1991 which is available in the Oireachtas Library. The standards will be mandatory throughout the Community so that Irish hauliers should not experience particular difficulties in obtaining vehicles complying with them.
