lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I am pleased that Commissioner de Palacio is here, because this will perhaps be of interest to her. I should like to draw attention to a series of serious accidents involving lorries that have occurred in Belgium on the E17, that is, the motorway from Antwerp to Lille, in recent weeks. The cause is always those lorries using cruise control, which is a kind of autopilot enabling drivers to drive without keeping their feet on the pedals. Careless lorry drivers are driving into traffic queues because their reactions are too slow. The balance sheet for the last 7 weeks shows 6 dead and 13 seriously injured, indicating that this is very bad technology. Problems and accidents involving cruise control can be seen all over Europe. The relevant directive on technical regulations for heavy goods vehicles must be amended to contain a provision banning this. Belgium wants to ban cruise control on its territory and should be given the chance to do so. I think that the Commissioner should take the necessary steps."@en1
