lpv:translated text	". In densely populated urban areas, the traffic noise and the noise around airports, in particular, is a disaster. People’s night rest is increasingly being threatened by continuous noise. Unfortunately, the Council and the Commission’s standpoint still harks back to the first half of the twentieth century, a time when cities, traffic and the economy were on a much smaller scale and growth was still welcome. That is apparent from, among other things, the fresh attempts to protect the position of airline companies. Instead of tackling overcapacity by imposing a tax on fuel, thus removing the competitive edge compared with more environmentally-friendly modes of transport, there is now a renewed attempt to reduce the tax burden for the sake of continued growth in air traffic and airports. Mr De Roo is right – also at second reading – to adhere to previous choices made by Parliament with regard to the restriction of night-time pollution, short terms, clear definitions of noise pollution, and daughter directives on noise emissions of lorries, buses, motorcycles, trains and aircraft. It is now only the need for a majority of 314 votes to break the opposition that threatens to lead to a long-term stalemate."@en1
