"Madam President, I should like to pay tribute to the rapporteur, Mrs Wortmann-Kool, for her excellent work.
This directive is of key significance for road hauliers. This is firstly because we are taking a step that is little short of historic, by putting an end to the era of free roads in Europe. Secondly, we are introducing charges that are in proportion to road usage. Thirdly, the directive will mean extra costs for road hauliers. At the same time, however, the directive is crucial as a source of funding for road construction. This is vitally important for the new Member States, including my own country, Poland.
The directive is absolutely essential for the sustainable development of branched transport infrastructures. I should like to remind Commissioner Barrot, however, that we must carry out a systematic impact assessment for this directive. This assessment should cover both the directive’s impact on hauliers and on the road haulage market, and its impact in terms of furthering our goal of increasing the market share of railways."@en1
