"Mr President, we share the concerns about the major delays facing these projects, which have been claimed to be priority projects. In connection with some of the amendments adopted in committee, we welcome the granting of candidate countries the right to observe proceedings which concern them and their country. We also welcome the acceptance of the compromise solution of the Committee on Industry, External Trade, Research and Energy regarding energy products. Amendments were also accepted on including waterway projects and linking the allocation of funds to the reduction of traffic growth and air pollution.
We did, however, vote against the report in committee because of a number of outstanding concerns, which we will try to address tomorrow in a series of amendments and requests for split votes. These include the demand that in a new post-2006 financial framework more money should be allocated to TENs. We are not convinced that should be the case. We also have concerns about the inclusion of telecoms projects.
In connection with penalties or claw-back, our view is that the report should follow the text of the Bradbourn report on TENs and demand that if projects are not substantially complete after 15 years, they should be taken off the list.
Finally, I have a strong concern that the reference to the use of private capital could be claimed to be, or inferred to be, an obligation to use private capital. We will be asking for a split vote in order to isolate these words, to prevent such an inference."@en1
