The new Eurovignette Directive could be passed during Belgium’s European presidency in the second half of this year.At least that is the suggestion of the environmental pressure group Transport & Environnement, and the Belgian government has indeed indicated its intention of getting this project back on the table.
The Eurovignette Directive governs the tolls and fees for HGVs using Europe’s roads. In its current incarnation, the directive only allows Member States to pass on infrastructural costs. They are not permitted to tax HGVs for external costs.
