Those had been considered low-margin or low-value service jobs, but now they're actually evolving into higher value-added jobs, because you're dealing with the engineering- and IPC-type service jobs.

The most significant aspects of this proposal are as follows: - the harmonization covered by the Directive is no longer optional but mandatory in all of the Member States (just like the consolidated proposal on "passenger cars"); - the limit values proposed for gaseous pollutants are lower than those set out in Directive 88/77, the figures lying between 40 and 60%; - it is possible to compare the proposed limit values with those in the other European countries since the test cycle adopted by the Community is that which best reflects ...[+++] the conditions under which heavy lorries are used on European highways and motorways, and is the same as that in force in the EFTA and COMECON countries; - the experts consulted by the Commission have demonstrated that the European engine makers have available, or are currently perfecting, technologies enabling commercial-vehicle diesel-engine emissions to be reduced considerably.

Assessment of the proposals If the values proposed for the first stage are compared with the Swiss and Austrian values for 1991 it can be seen that, although introduced nine months later: - the limit values for production (COP) are identical as regards gaseous pollutants; - the limit values (COP) for particulates are identical for the range of engines developing less than 85 kW.
