Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I voted in favour of the excellent report by my fellow Member Mr Albertini on sustainable European transport policy, taking into account European energy and environment policies. I believe it is of fundamental importance for the EU to coordinate its policies to develop urban public transport and alternative transport systems while protecting the environment and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
As regards infrastructure, I note that the emphasis is continuing to be placed on road transport projects at the expense of rail projects. Completion of the trans-European networks still seems a remote prospect, and the EU’s contribution is minimal compared to the burden to be shouldered by Member States individually. In order to reduce gas emissions and improve the efficiency of freight and passenger transport, I would also stress the need for the EU to provide financial support for the implementation of priority projects in the framework of the trans-European networks."@en1
