lpv:translated text	"Mr President, are the non-elected executives of industry the legislators, or is this the task of the elected representatives of the people? Industry would like measures on a voluntary basis that only partly meet the public’s expectations and that can easily be avoided by companies that stand to benefit from doing so. It is sad that the European Commission wanted to meet this wish and that some of the Right-wingers in this Parliament were prepared to endorse this. The argument in favour, namely faster results and more flexible adjustments, is largely cancelled out by the fact that the interested parties themselves have a huge bearing on the outcome. They want to leave room for effects which may be harmful to others but beneficial to themselves. Insofar as additional agreements with industry are meaningful, these can at most relate to the speeding up of the introduction of new rules and ways with a view to a prompt and goal-specific application. I should like to finish off with a remark about the content of the covenant itself. Compulsory daytime use of headlights is only safe in sparsely populated countries with a low sun position, few cyclists and without the need to make motorbike riders more visible, and there is a problem in this respect."@en1
