Mr President, the Greens are asking the EU and the Federal government in Germany to strongly support Switzerland's plans for the introduction of an output-related heavy goods vehicle tax and an alpine transit tax in order, at long last, to move forward on the protection of the alpine habitat and the transfer of heavy goods transport from road to rail.
Señor Presidente, los Verdes exigimos a la UE y al Gobierno de Alemania que apoyen expresamente los planes de Suiza para introducir una tasa para el transporte pesado y una tasa de tránsito por los Alpes, para proteger este área vital y desplazar por fin el transporte de mercancías por carretera al ferrocarril.
