".
Very briefly, ladies and gentlemen, I understand that the people most directly affected address themselves to you, but I can talk about other people who are asking just the opposite; that the Mont Blanc tunnel be opened as soon as possible. As on so many other occasions, there are sometimes contradictory interests.
With regard to the issue of safety, I will insist on what I said before. It is not the Commission which has to make the assessment. We have neither the competence nor the capacity to carry out that type of task.
Thirdly, sustainable mobility. That is the objective of the White Paper I have presented and which the Commission approved on 12 September. However, that objective will clearly not be achieved through a statement of will and an approval by the Commission, but it must be approved by this House and by the Council of Ministers and then put into practice. It will be efforts of all types over a number of years which will allow us to make progress. But we must consider that transport sometimes resolves problems created by other types of decisions. Decisions which relate to urban policy, to development policy, to forms of production, to a series of policies on territorial balance and other things, where transport simply offers facilities at a certain moment, resolves problems and makes its contribution. In many cases the origins go beyond transport policy."@en1
