However, the proposed congestion charging and mark-up are a bridge too far for the PPE-DE Group. Congestion charging has a very limited impact on the environment and does not solve the problem of congestion, and would also constitute an extra heavy burden in these times of economic crisis, an extra burden on SMEs, which is also bad for employment.
La tassazione sulla congestione ha un impatto estremamente limitato sull'ambiente e non risolve il problema; rappresenterebbe inoltre un onere eccessivo in questo momento di crisi economica, un ulteriore onere per le PMI, con conseguenze negative anche sull'occupazione.
