Takes the view that, in order to address the issue, preventive measures should be incentivised, for instance by introducing high-quality filters for the ultra-fine solid particles emitted by engines, and that incentives must be provided to renew any of the currently circulating car fleet that is not in line with the European Euro 4, Euro 5 and Euro 6 standards (the latter is due to enter into force in 2014). The reduction in ...[+++] emissions must not be restricted only to vehicles using new technology, i.e. with new engines, but should concern also those already in circulation. Old-generation engines can be adapted by using the new filter, with a view to achieving the low level of ultra-fine solid particles emissions of new vehicles. Favours, in particular in urban contexts, low emission zones (such as 30 areas, i.e. urban areas in which maximum vehicle speed is limited to 30 km/h) and traffic calming measures which provide an incentive for walking and cycling;
