lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, it is time for support under the Marco Polo instrument to be made available to European actors in the field of freight transport; the sense of urgency with which this is awaited is demonstrated by the large number of applications submitted in response to what was a small-scale announcement. By precisely targeting specific objects of assistance, the support programme aims to bring about the transfer of goods from the roads to more environmentally friendly means of transport. As part of this project to transfer traffic, for example, it was possible to give support to a barge service taking cargo to the Czech Republic from Magdeburg or from Hamburg. The catalyst actions call for particularly creative responses to structural obstacles. In my view, they should trigger huge demand, above all in rail transport, where – as is well known – the obstacles are numerous. This means that Marco Polo is a good addition to the railway packages that we have introduced. In view of the urgent need for cross-border consultation on common priorities for the removal of obstacles, I could well imagine the third area for support – common learning actions – including the corridor conferences that Parliament has been demanding for so long. The fact that there is demand from so many quarters shows, of course, that the money will not be sufficient, and nor are we likely to achieve the objective of stabilising the 1998 modal split. It is fortunate that our request, that projects from the future Member States be included already, has been complied with. One does not have to be a prophet to be able to foresee the re-emergence of the issues of environmental compatibility and sustainability on the transport policy agenda at the time of the forthcoming elections."@en1
