Rapport du Parlement Européen

Rapport du Parlement Européen ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS OF THE TRANSPORT POLICY http://www.europarl.europa.eu/activities/expert/eStudies/download.do?file=18231 CO2 and transport - cutting the link Cars, buses, trains, bikes, planes - we all use different types of transport to get around and get on with our lives. Data for the European Union of 25 members showed that 1/3 of energy consumption is taken up by transport. On 22 November the Transport Committee discussed a report, being drafted by Italian MEP Gabriele Albertini (EPP-ED), which says that savings of 60% are possible. A hearing was also held in October. The amount of energy we currently use for transport accounts for 24% of the EU's greenhouse gas emissions. With this figure rising, the need for cuts in CO2 emissions to counter global warming is increasingly apparent. Voir aussi le projet de rapport de Gabriele Albertini :
