"Mr President, I would like to offer my warm congratulations to my colleague, Mrs Gurmai, for her enthusiasm in converting the ‘fantasy car’ of our youth into a real car for the future of Europe. Of course, it is technology this is coming to the fore, and all the proposals she makes in her enterprising report will help us to continue making progress in the logistical development to which the European Union is committed. I also believe that after the agreement reached about the deployment of Galileo, the ‘intelligent’ car is going to be one of the initiatives that will add content to the Galileo deployment. Yesterday, without going further, we approved the Directive on road safety infrastructure, which already highlighted the need to develop intelligent and interactive systems and vehicles. If we already have the infrastructure, all we clearly need is the intelligent vehicle. The intelligent car will also help improve the prevention and control of traffic offences, especially regarding interaction with traffic lights, speed limits and anti-alcohol blocking. In the field of road safety, of course, everything connected with mass sensors for pedestrians and other vulnerable toad users will be crucial. With regard to the system, which is too far behind schedule, Commissioner, we have already called for it to be included in all vehicles and not only in vehicles and Mrs Gurmai wants to see this implemented as soon as possible. However, we had also envisaged that it would include vehicles for occupational use, especially in agriculture, where the isolation of the driver make the consequences of any accident worse as time passes. I ask you, Commissioner, when will we be able to include the system in occupational vehicles, in particular agricultural vehicles? In any case, the ‘intelligent’ car should be accessible to all and these technologies should be supported to make them cheaper and accessible, not only to the countries that need them most, but to all European citizens."@en1
