"I wish to say thank you, and particularly of course to the rapporteur, Mr Rack, for the work done by the committee. As many have said in this House, we must obtain a more environmentally friendly transport system in Europe. We have a very great deal of environmental pollution. At the same time, transport is extremely important for our regions and for companies out in the regions. Combined transport will become extremely important in the future if transport systems are to operate throughout the territory of the EU.
The Marco Polo project also reveals the different conditions under which we live in the various regions of the EU. In many regions, there are long distances to be travelled. Companies in these regions are in many cases subcontractors for larger companies in more heavily populated areas. They are very important for employment in those regions that are a long way away. The Marco Polo project ought not, therefore, to lead to employment in the EU being relocated. I have proceeded in the committee on the basis of this view and can now accept the compromise relating to Article 1 of the report to the effect that the Marco Polo project should create added value for the EU without damaging economic, social or territorial cohesion, as well as the future Article 2 to the effect that the project should not adversely affect production or employment."@en1
