lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the events of yesterday morning have, unfortunately, plunged us once again into the Mont-Blanc tunnel disaster and this debate that we are having today has become more topical than ever. I totally agree with Mr Santini when he says that closing a link such as a tunnel beneath the Alps causes real economic problems, and I fully understand this, but nor do I feel that we can call for it to be reopened unless all safety guarantees are met. Furthermore, even today we still do not know the real causes of the accidents that take place in these tunnels, any more than we know what guarantees we may be given that they will not happen again. I am sorry first of all that the Council is not present to hear this debate, even though the Commissioner made it quite clear that this concerns a principle of subsidiarity. I am sorry that the Council is not here to say what it intends to do within the framework of a land-use planning policy. We are never given answers to our questions on the real trans-European networks, be they railways or roads. Incidentally, Mr President, Commissioner, I should like us to jointly put pressure on the Council to give us answers. We cannot keep on asking the same questions, when terrible accidents unfortunately occur, which are still unanswered two or three years later. I would, therefore, say that it is now crucial that we question the Council and that we should have a real land-use planning policy that takes account of the railways and which plans the trans-European road networks so that such disasters cannot happen again."@en1
