Cleaner fuels and lower sulphur

Key Recommendations:

• The mandatory availability of 10ppm sulphur should commence in 2003.
•  The date when 10ppm sulphur fuels become the single mandatory standardshould be 2008.
• The European Commission should lead a review of other parameters withinCAFE and under the 6^th framework Programme, to ensure these are optimised.This will entail an updating of the EPEFE equations to account for EURO IVvehicle technologies and 10ppm sulphur.
• The Articles outlining possible derogations from the sulphur standard in theDirective should be deleted as flexibility is accounted for by the long phase inperiods for ultra low sulphur fuels.
