lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I should like to begin by praising the rapporteur for a really good piece of work. At the moment, we see how more and more EU countries are introducing road tolls, often backed by different technical systems. This is one of the main points I believe we should emphasise, namely that we must not focus exclusively upon one technical system, such as satellite navigation, but, on the contrary, permit different systems that are interoperable. It is enough to look at the situation in Germany, which has come down unilaterally in favour of a particular system which is patently not operating as intended. That is not an example we should follow at EU level. In connection with the German system, there was also another problem, namely that there were not enough boxes available, with the result that hauliers in different countries did not have the opportunity to have these boxes installed. There is also something else we must avoid in the future. I think that, in order to be focused upon its users, the system must also ensure, at a purely technical level, that hauliers and their drivers only have to install a single box in each vehicle. This would ease the administrative burden for the transport companies, and it would also mean greater road safety, for drivers would only have to concentrate on one piece of equipment. It is also important that users be guaranteed access to a coherent network through a single contract relating to the overall network of roads involving tolls. Together, these are all aspects it is very important to bear in mind in connection with the reading of this report. I therefore hope we obtain an agreement that puts users in the driving seat. I also hope you have noticed that I have left a little time for those who, unlike myself, have exceeded their speaking time."@en1
