lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to congratulate the rapporteur on the substantial and significant content of this directive. I have only been a member of the Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market for a few days, and therefore I have not had the opportunity to follow its entire course. Over the past few days, I have only been able to familiarise myself with it. The speaker before me was saying that this type of installation is very widespread in Europe – it certainly is in my country, which includes almost all of the Alps as well as the Apennines. So we are dealing with structures, and a sphere of activity which are of great concern to us. As I was saying, the content of this directive is all very noteworthy, and we certainly agree with it. In this way, we are giving the go-ahead to the free movement of technologies in this regard, and to the free movement of supplies. As was said a short while ago, the route has been opened to competition in this sector which, in the field of technology and in the field of safety, is essential because competition is exactly what it is – it makes technology advance. I have read carefully the content of the directive and from a technical point of view, I still find some points unclear. Of course, the directive lays down principles, gives specific instructions, brings into line and also harmonises legislation within the Member States on what has to be an essential goal – safety. However, in the area of safety and in the area of technology, specifications, parameters, characteristics and materials used become fundamentally important. Levels of maintenance and planning times also become vital. Now, from my point of view, certainly the technical provisions which will follow this directive – and which will be laid down in other places and after other meetings – will form the basic element in defining the authorisation of this directive in all the Member States. In this sense, and knowing which parameters will be examined from a purely technical point of view, I would ask whether it is possible for Parliament, and particularly the Commission, to be kept informed. Above all, I ask whether it is possible for the Commission to inform us what the result of the implementation of this directive will be, from a purely technical point of view."@en1
