lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I should like to thank Mr Markov for doing such a good job. What we need are safer and more secure roads in Europe. At present, 43 000 people die each year on our roads, and we know that whenever large vehicles are involved in accidents, the consequences are disastrous. We must do everything in order to obtain safer and more secure roads. The fact is that the decision we have to take concerns a genuinely European issue. Haulage contractors and professional drivers often operate in more than one European country. Their day-to-day work consists in moving goods and passengers across the whole of our continent. Competition is at European level, and it is at European level that we therefore also need to have fairly similar conditions of competition, as well as the ability properly to monitor compliance with the rules. We must also obtain better conditions for professional drivers, conditions that make driving safer and more secure for them. That is something about which we have the opportunity to decide today. We shall not obtain everything, but we shall make a little progress. We are also concerned here with the introduction of digital tachographs, and that, I think, is a very important issue. At present, we have tachographs that can be, and are, manipulated. It is important for us to obtain more secure tachographs that help make driving safer and more secure for us all, including those who drive for a living. I therefore propose that we vote in favour of this conciliation proposal."@en1
