The European Council first reading position on Eurovignette Directive reform / In advance of tomorrow’s expected adoption of the Council first reading position on Eurovignette Directive reform, the European rail freight sector has significant concerns about the Council position, as it runs contrary to the shared climate and transport policy objectives of the Member States themselves: • The European Summit last week agreed to upgrade the European Climate Law target for CO2 emissions from a 40% to a 55% cut by 2030. • The European Commission describes the need for an ambitious Eurovignette Directive reform as necessary to achieve climate, pollution, congestion and accident objectives in the recently unveiled Mobility Strategy.
