"Mr President, I would like to thank Mr Lehne and Mr Lambsdorff, and in particular my colleagues, Mr Hughes and Mr Goebbels, for all the work of coordination and cooperation required for this exercise, which, in this second year, is now finding a place in the political consciences and wills of the Member States and our Institutions. This is happening in a very particular way, on the basis of the preparatory meetings between the European Parliament and the national parliaments.
It was at the latest meeting last week that, in a still timid, but firm, manner, the recovery of European transport, logistics and infrastructures were raised as crucial policies if the European economy is to meet the challenges of globalisation with guarantees.
This globalisation reaches Europe’s ports by boat, our airports by plane, or via our roads, and, though not yet sufficiently, by train and by inland waterway. We are tackling this globalisation by means of instruments such as Galileo, SESAR — the air traffic control system — RTMS, E-Safetynet, etc. We must also deal with the challenges that it brings with it in the environmental, social and security fields.
The German Presidency’s initiative facilitated the Transport Council’s commitment in this regard, with the initiative of including transport, with its four essential priorities, in this spring’s proposal for the Lisbon Strategy. Furthermore, Mr Harbour agreed to include it as the third paragraph of the conclusions of the Working Group on the internal market and innovation at last week’s meeting.
I would therefore ask especially that the authors and coordinators of the Resolution include Amendment 10, which brings in this extremely important sector — transport, logistics and trans-European networks — as a basis for the Lisbon Strategy."@en1
