lpv:translated text	"Mr President, although progress has been made in the negotiations, I certainly do not think that it is enough. We asked for protection for the entire Austrian region, and that has been accepted. The amendment concerning the most polluting lorries – for environmentally-friendly lorries do not exist – has been adopted. That is a . Noise aspects have not been taken into consideration. In short, we are left with a raft of problems. I have pointed out before, right through this procedure – first reading, second reading, previous debates – that we are being faced with a problem of a democratic nature, a point also made by my neighbour. It is for this reason that Austria regards the regulation as unacceptable. Austria has consequently noted that, in the next couple of years, partly caused by the accession countries, transport through Austria could well double, if not quadruple. Ultimately, it decided unilaterally to abolish the ecopoints system on 31 December. As this confronts us with the question of what we will do next, I would ask the Commissioner how she sees things developing in the Council on 22 December. After all, if Austria stands by its view, I do not know what we should do with this decision."@en1
