News: Revision of the Eurovignette Directive

On 23 July, the European Commission adopted a communication o­n the revision of the Eurovignette Directive. The new proposal, long awaited by NGOs and other stakeholders, is a disappointment. T&E has called for its rejection by the European Parliament and the Council. It confuses the concepts of pricing and financing, does not encourage sustainable transport and, overall, is insufficient and unambitious in scope. For more details see the T&E briefing and the T&E press-release or contact Markus Liechti.
