lpv:translated text	"Mr President, in my profession, I meet people with health problems caused by noise. Health problems and unpleasant experiences of noise are, however, both very individual matters, which makes the issue of noise a difficult one. For example, living next to a shooting range, with the type of noise produced there, may be a very unpleasant experience even if the range is rarely in use. Some people find low-frequency noise and its vibrations very unpleasant. I am convinced that we need more research into the problem of noise, and more knowledge about it. One of the main reasons why the Europe we share is so fascinating is the many differences there are in our part of the world. Variations in the European landscape and countryside are examples of this. The level of settlement varies according to whether we are talking about heavily populated areas in Central Europe, such as in the Netherlands, or sparsely populated areas in northern Europe such as are to be found in Sweden and Finland. That is something we must consider when we take measures to combat the problems caused by noise. Aircraft, cars and trains move between different countries and environments. It is therefore only right that they should comply with common provisions concerning noise. However, industrial areas and airports are fixed installations, and their environments vary considerably. That is why it is important that we should not become bogged down in future legislation on noise consisting of measures standardised from the perspective of Central European population centres. Noise regulations must allow flexibility. Local and national authorities are better placed to take account of environmental factors in the case of permanent sources of noise. We must comply with the principle of subsidiarity and draw up anti-noise regulations that it is possible to apply throughout the EU without there being unreasonable local consequences."@en1
