"Mr President, the problem with the 2001 White Paper was that there was a lack of political will on the part of the states to see it through. That is why we still do not have a single transport area.
The challenges we face range from the harmonisation and simplification of European rules, including those on safety, working conditions and driving times, to the externalisation of costs and adaptations for disabled persons, from the liberalisation of markets, the development of motorways of the sea and the development of multimodality to the completion of the Single European Sky and greater efforts in prioritising and funding projects. The aim of all of this is to create a more sustainable single European transport area that has fewer road deaths, is more effective, is more innovative and acts as a cohesive force in the internal market.
The initiative has concrete objectives. My wish is for there to be more will on the part of the Member States; otherwise, in 10 years, we will be forced to adopt urgent measures because we will be facing a transport crisis in Europe.
Finally, I would like to congratulate Mr Grosch on his fine work."@en1
