"Madam President, I shall be very brief, but I should first of all like to reassure both the rapporteur and, particularly, Mr Chichester. We are well aware that there is a cost issue and, as regards the costs liable to be generated by these measures, we in fact plan to undertake the commitment to prepare a communication on the security of different transport methods, including the issue of their financing, in our 2005 work programme. The concerns of your Parliament will be taken into consideration in this way. This reference to financing is, moreover, included in a preamble.
I should also like to point out to those who fear that we are not taking specific national situations into consideration that this is a directive and not a regulation. This enables us to take into consideration, by way of subsidiarity, a number of practical considerations that will make the fight for security more effective, when the directive is transposed by Member States. Finally, I should like to say to Mr Piecyk that he is absolutely right and that we must also be concerned about safety throughout the transport chain.
I now return to you, Mrs Hennis-Plasschaert, to express my deepest thanks as, thanks to you, I believe that we will be in a position to gain time in the context of implementing these security rules.
I also thank your committee, the Committee on Transport and Tourism. You have embraced this rather technical proposal and you have adopted a pragmatic and constructive approach in your handling of the dossier. I am pleased to observe that there are a great many points on which Parliament, the Commission and the Council fundamentally agree, with regard to the measures to be taken. The Commission can therefore subscribe to the compromise reached by Parliament in the context of negotiations with the Council and which is expressed, Madam President, in Amendments 13-75. We can therefore endorse Amendments 13-75, but unfortunately not Amendments 1-12.
To conclude, I would like to express my wish for a decision to be taken in order that this directive can be speedily adopted. As I said, the European Union cannot economise on preventative measures for the protection of its ports either with regard to its people and sectors of port activity or with regard to its international partners. All of the above has, moreover, been extremely well put by a number of you. Madam President, Mrs Hennis-Plasschaert, ladies and gentlemen, my services will pass on to you the detailed position of the Commission on each proposed amendment. I thank you most heartily for your attention and for your altogether decisive contribution to the outcome of this project."@en1
