"Madam President, Minister, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to thank Parliament as a whole for this rewarding debate, which has confirmed the broad support that the compromise negotiated between our three institutions enjoys today. I would like to congratulate everyone, more especially your rapporteur, on this outcome, which represents undeniable progress, although I know that some of you would have liked to obtain even more.
This agreement is an important step forward and, thanks to Parliament, the next stages for the formal internalisation of external costs have been defined. The Commission will have to model the best approach to this question, and then it will make an evaluation to analyse its impact. It will do this over the next two years. The Commission will use that analysis to make whatever proposals seem appropriate so that external costs can be borne internally.
This agreement is in keeping with our strategy for sustainable development while encouraging our economies to be competitive and guaranteeing the principle of equity: if the user pays, he must not pay twice. Moreover, the sums raised will, so far as possible, have to be used for sustainable transport. One of you spoke of a compromise, but it is a compromise that may be considered a commitment. That is the word I will use. For me as Commissioner, this compromise is a commitment for the future, a commitment to work for a mobility compatible with the demands of sustainable development."@en1
