"Mr President, I will not focus on the content or technical aspects of the communication. They have already been amply discussed and, although there is still much that could be said about them, the rapporteur has dealt with everything in her excellent overview.
Instead, I will focus on the chief reservation expressed by the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy in its opinion. It is clearly so important to reduce the number of road accident victims that the question of which instrument would be best to achieve it – a voluntary agreement or a legislative measure – is secondary.
In any case, we are not opposed to voluntary agreements in principle. However, they can only be usefully allowed within an agreed legal framework that gives Parliament the right to participate, particularly where the objectives to be set, the results to be achieved and monitoring are concerned.
We only hope that this condition, which remains binding in environmental matters, will, at last, be fulfilled by the ‘Better regulation’ initiatives launched by the Commission in recent days."@en1
