"Mr President, the Committee on Transport and Tourism, which has been very reasonable in its proposals during this crisis period, would point out that transport and tourism easily generate more than 10% of the Union’s GDP and are essential sectors of high European value-added growth. Three points, in particular, deserve to be emphasised, and we would like to see them supported. Firstly, the financing of agencies. Indeed, why legislate without having upstream criteria or downstream operational implementation instruments? These amendments are aimed at providing agencies with the resources they need to carry out their mandate and, hence, Europe’s mandates. Secondly, tourism, for which the Union is the world’s number one destination, became an actual competence with the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, but it has no budget heading of its own. To just continue with two existing preparatory actions is not enough. We want us to enhance our action, at least symbolically, by supporting new pilot projects, in particular, concerning industrial and cultural tourism. Lastly, the Icelandic volcano eruption showed us the importance of implementing a single European interface for information and ticket reservations for all modes of transport, and this is the subject of our last request."@en1
