lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner Barrot, Minister Schmit, ladies and gentlemen, I have asked to speak in this debate because I fully agree with the reasons that have led the Committee on Transport and Tourism to ask this question by means of Mr Costa’s brilliant speech. I am aware that our sectoral interests are not the only ones threatened by the restriction of resources apparently approaching, but, in any event, they fall within this Parliament's responsibilities. The delay in compliance with the commitments made in 1996 by means of codecision between Parliament and the Council, with regard to the funding of the trans-European transport networks, is a fact. It is not merely an opinion. The Commission's proposal of a sum of EUR 20 300 million for this objective, within the framework of the financial perspectives 2007-2013, is also a reality. The Council is being asked whether there is sufficient funding to meet the commitments laid down in Decision 884/2004. We respect the opinion of the Council, as expressed by Mr Schmit, who describes it, at least, as appropriate and sufficient. Well, we are asking questions because we truly believe that extremely important projects are genuinely at risk of coming to nothing. In its proposal, the Commission has highlighted serious concerns, which deserve to be reproduced in their entirety. The Commission says: ‘the worst delays concern rail projects and cross-frontier links which limit the possibilities created by the opening of the railway market. They have in fact become one of the principle sources of congestion and imbalance between modes of transport on the major routes’. At the current pace of investment, it would take more than 20 years to complete the whole of the trans-European transport network in accordance with the 2004 review. So the conclusion is very clear; Mr Barrot has demonstrated his ambition and the Council has told us that this budget is sufficient, but we believe that if it is not supplemented in this way, the great projects which peripheral countries such as Spain are hoping for will be frustrated. We trust in the efficiency of the work of the Commission and the Council, with the contribution of this Parliament."@en1
