". It makes sense to harmonise driving restrictions on lorries at European level, since each Member State currently applies its own regulations. There is no reason, though, why harmonisation should be carried out based on the most moderate regulations, according to the wishes of the road transport lobbies, as this would involve limiting the restrictions and allowing States that are indulgent towards HGV transport to allow hauliers to travel as and when they like. We therefore voted in favour of all the amendments which seek to introduce additional driving restrictions, taking into account “topographical environmental or road safety grounds”. Since these restrictions were not adopted, we voted against the report. More generally speaking, however, the problem cannot be resolved simply by means of regulation. It would not be enough just to ban transporting goods by road at weekends. We should develop rail transport and combined road-rail transport as part of a European public railway service."@en1
