lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, this provision is a little like the curate’s egg. It is good in patches. I particularly welcome the dispositions for those with a disability or reduced mobility, but have the same concerns already voiced by other speakers about the 250 kilometre threshold. One size does not fit all. In the European Union of 27 countries of different sizes, there should have been some flexibility within countries so that all could be included in the provisions. I live myself over 300 kilometres from our capital. There is a buoyant small business enterprise in coach travel between rural areas in my constituency and the capital, Dublin. This now will be put under severe pressure because of the provisions of this proposal and also, particularly, increased insurance costs which may drive them out of business. If they go out of business, jobs are lost and the facility for passengers is also lost. We will have to monitor this as we go forward."@en1
