lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I welcome this programme to shift freight transport from road to short sea journeys, inland waterways and rail, and also the aim of holding the amount of freight on roads at the present level until 2010. I particularly welcome the lower threshold for subsidies and the simplified definitions. These measures will be of significant help to SMEs. Regarding SMEs, I hope that the Commission's aim of funding large projects, while understandable, does not mean the exclusion of smaller projects which are more likely to be placed in smaller, peripheral Member States which are nonetheless in great need of help and support in this area. I think of my own country in this context, with its poor road, rail and inland waterway infrastructure. Ireland suffers doubly from safety problems, road congestion and environmental damage. I welcome this programme, but it should not exclude smaller innovative projects which are deserving of support."@en1
