lpv:translated text	"I, too, would like to congratulate the rapporteur, who has produced a major report in a short space of time. It has already been pointed out by almost all those who have spoken that, in effect, the situation with regard to transport – particularly sea transport – and seaports differs widely throughout our Union: the situation in northern countries differs from that in southern countries, in terms of dimensions and the volume of freight and passenger traffic. However, if we wish – and we do, for we consider it absolutely essential – sea and river ports to be included in the system of trans-European networks and to have their own system, then we must by necessity establish a hierarchy and a classification list for this system. Now, I come from a country which boasts 8 000 km of coastline and would therefore benefit greatly from having as many of its ports as possible included in the "European port" category. However, we have to be prepared to stick our necks out and take what could be difficult decisions for the very reason that, if the strategies selected do not genuinely identify areas and ports with these characteristics, we will be in danger, considering, amongst other things, the lack of funding – we shall have to talk about this in any case for only EUR 400 million are available – we will be in danger of undoing any good work, in danger, that is, of being ineffective. One issue remains to be resolved – which I consider important and which other Members have raised and should therefore be at the centre of the conciliation process – and that is the issue of the islands and the outermost regions: in other words, the issue of those situations in which, even where a port does not meet the volume criteria we have laid down, its activity cannot be allowed to suffer as a result."@en1
