lpv:translated text	"I would like to congratulate the rapporteur, Mr Rack, on his report. If the 80% of people who live in cities would adopt the recommended measures on the culture of urban mobility, life would become much better and healthier for everyone. This is a good example of the way in which the EU takes care of its citizens. We need to expand the public transport and bicycle route network and encourage the use of more environmentally friendly means of transport. However, the most important and most difficult task is to change people’s habits. For example, in Lithuania around 50% of all car journeys are less than a kilometre. Even young and healthy people forget they have legs and that the bicycle has already been invented. With the Commission’s help we should be able to find different financial levers to eliminate or reduce the traffic jams that paralyse the life of cities and their inhabitants. It is either movement, mobility, or suffocation among iron monsters, spitting out pollutants."@en1
