"I voted in favour of the report. Transport policy is essential, both for economic development and for the preservation of the environment and of our living conditions, and this means that we have to take the long-term view.
Improving the quality of transport means increasing the alternatives to road transport, in particular by giving support to rail transport and effectively implementing north-south links (Rhine-Rhone-Mediterranean via the Frankfurt/Lyons/Perpignan/Barcelona axis) and European interconnections (Lyons-Turin,…). In this field, political willingness on the part of governments is sometimes lacking.
Improving the efficiency of transport also means paying special attention to trans-European navigable waterway networks. All too often these projects are prevented from being implemented. Improving transport safety also means preventing foreseeable bad weather conditions from blocking roads and airports, leaving people to fall back on their own resources owing to the lack of sufficient capacity to react to such situations, and the lack of equipment or of efficient warning systems, even when the appropriate technology exists.
Finally, I am not in favour of the creation of a European road safety agency. I do not think that we can solve the problems we are currently encountering by multiplying structures of this type."@en1
