# Charging of heavy goods vehicles for the use of certain infrastructures

European Parliament procedure 2017/0114(COD) (COD - Ordinary legislative procedure (ex-codecision procedure), 8th term, committee ENVI / TRAN). Stage: Procedure completed. 624 committee amendments tabled by 61 Members between 2018-02-06 and 2021-12-15.

## What the amendments focus on

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.
