lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, I do not think it is right to separate the supporters of the Commission’s measure and those against it into those who have the environment at heart and those who do not. This is an error into which we must not fall, and I must say this with all due respect to the Members from Austria: your representation of the situation is not useful to your fellow citizens. We are all concerned with safeguarding and protecting the environment, and the question of the Alpine passes, amongst others, affects not only Austria but also a large part of a sensitive area like the Alpine region on the Italian side. Why do I say this? Because in the Commission’s proposal, which we share and support, we see the same environmental concern. It has been said that the ecopoints system will not be touched because it has produced results, and this has been confirmed. On the other hand it has been observed – and this cannot be denied – that the ceiling system actually punishes those hauliers that try to adopt ecologically friendly procedures, as has been said, while instead encouraging bad practice, as you well know, and even fraudulent practices: for instance, many lorries go in with a bill of lading, unload in Austria and then leave, and so are not subject to the points clause. All that does no more good to the environment than it does to the transport system. Of course, there is also a problem of guaranteeing mobility, there is a problem of guaranteeing competition among haulage companies, but there is most of all an environmental problem. I ask you to take in the aspect of concern for the environment that is expressed in the Commission proposal; I agree with you all that we certainly need to find stable, definitive solutions for the future, which will really protect us from these risks."@en1
