lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, more and more Europeans are affected by environmental noise, but despite this, the European Union has been slow to implement a common policy in the field of noise. I therefore agree with the ambitious options proposed by the rapporteur, Alexander de Roo, and I congratulate him on his work. I supported his report in the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy and I support it again now. I should like to highlight a few aspects in particular. Firstly, I agree with the idea of transforming this directive into a binding framework directive to be followed by specific directives on noise caused by cars, motorcycles, trains and aircraft. Secondly, I also agree with setting common noise limits in the areas surrounding all of the European Union’s civilian airports. Not only because the noise caused by night-time air traffic is more responsible than any other for depriving the general public of sleep, but also because, as a result of the lack of common regulations in the European Union, we have seen terrible distortions of competition between airports and a lack of fairness towards the citizens of the various Member States. Thirdly, I welcome the amendments proposed for the joint position on noise indicators. With these amendments, the Member States can move up to two hours of the evening schedule to the daytime or night-time period, which will enable legislation on noise to be implemented without this affecting the habits and traditions of each country, especially, those of southern Europe. This new legislation must be implemented as rapidly as possible, but in order to ensure that it is complied with, Member States need to invest very quickly in the technical and human resources that are essential to monitoring and supervising its implementation. Unless this is done, we will have yet another law that is good, but ignored."@en1
