lpv:translated text	". The sustainable development of transport requires the adoption of an integrated approach to transport that exploits to the full the potential of all the different modes currently available. Bearing this in mind, the Commission has pointed out the difficulties encountered by users of current intermodal loading units (ILUs) – in other words, containers or boxes usually used in transport – which range from the diversity of handling and securing devices to questions of security and methods of monitoring. The aim of this proposal is to recommend the use of an optional European ILU (EILU) that will overcome such difficulties by combining the benefits of both swap boxes and containers, which could be used in rail, road, sea and river transport. This measure will provide the transport sector with the freedom to opt for the alternative proposed by the Commission, which will undoubtedly bring advantages. I welcome the method chosen to promote the new system, which remains non-mandatory for Member States, granting financial benefits and other incentives to encourage Community projects or programmes that clearly demonstrate the intention of using EILUs. In view of the potential benefits for commercial transport, I voted in favour."@en1
