".
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to thank the Committee on Budgets for advocating the approval of the common position adopted by the Council last March, because this approval will represent the final stage, enabling us to lay down the general rules for the granting of Community financial aid in the field of the trans-European transport networks.
I would like to respond to what many speakers have said by stating here and now that I have no intention of giving in to the temptation to scatter, to the temptation to disperse appropriations, which would do nothing to promote the creation of these routes, the development of which is absolutely crucial. I can confirm, Mr Costa, that, over the next seven years, the Commission will do everything it can to ensure that this new Community legislation is implemented properly. The Commission is determined to ensure effective and visible results, which meet your expectations and those of Europe’s citizens and companies, both parties seeking, as they are, an efficient and sustainable transport system.
I can respond once again, particularly to Mr Savary, by saying that I have already fulfilled my commitments to provide Parliament with information, commitments that I am restating. I would also like to say to Mrs Ţicău that we will not forget the new Member States and that we will put in a great deal of effort in those countries. Like Mrs Jensen, I believe that it is also high time that we put pressure on the Member States to commit themselves along these lines.
I have also taken good note of the questions from Mr Jarzembowski and Mr Bösch. I would like to thank you for your constructive approach throughout the legislative process. Mr Mauro, I would like to thank you in particular, as well as the chairmen of the two competent committees – the Committee on Transport and Tourism and the Committee on Budgets – and all of the Members who have worked on this dossier. I shall work in a spirit of close cooperation with the European Parliament in order to implement these major projects, which will require us to put the European general interest before all other concerns.
That is what I wished to say, Mr President, and I would like to thank Parliament in advance for being willing to allow us to move on now to actions and to be able to launch the call for proposals so that Member States can respond in such a way as to enable me to launch operations as early as the autumn."@en1
