lpv:translated text	"Madam President, it is true that emissions from traffic are one of the fastest growing types of emission in our society at the present time, and it makes us wonder how we can actually implement the principles of sustainable development, and how we might find solutions in transport that are more environmentally friendly, so that we could take better account of the environmental demands set for it in transport on land, at sea and in the air. An enormous problem has been that at present we have not sufficiently invested in or provided financial assistance for environmentally friendly modes of transport. A good example of this is biodiesel, or hybrid cars, which have been awaiting financial assistance but have not received it, and have therefore remained a very marginal phenomenon. Taxation is also a way to steer us in the direction of more sustainable development, but the Member States have not been willing to set off along that path. Support is now needed for this: tax concessions and clear policies that relate to the fact that the environment and sustainable development are a real priority for us and not just the subject of speeches on major occasions."@en1
