"Madam President, while I acknowledge that there are many positive aspects to this report – and I strongly support the right of those with disabilities to have access to transport and to compensation – I believe that these kinds of schemes should be put in place by national governments.
I also believe that the financial burden associated with this proposal would be prohibitive for many transport providers. This Parliament must remember that many coach firms are privately owned, are relatively small and are under an increasing financial pressure as a result of the huge rise in fuel prices experienced over the last 12 to 18 months. For many private firms, and indeed government transport schemes, additional cost will only result in two things: higher ticket prices for customers and reduced routes. Indeed, it will put many in the voluntary sector – which runs many of the schemes for those with disabilities – out of business altogether."@en1
