Rapporteur (the Member appointed to lead Parliament's work on this text): FERRANDINO Giuseppe (S&D)

Summary

This proposal concerns charging of heavy goods vehicles for the use of certain infrastructures. Amendments rework recitals on replacing time-based user charges with distance-based charges, on external-cost charges reflecting air pollution and noise under Directive 1999/62/EC, and on a congestion charge applied to vehicle categories. Others address the 'polluter pays' and 'user pays' principles, zero-emission vehicles, and reduced charges for users in rural or isolated areas.

In plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
