"Mr President, Commissioner, I would like to thank all my fellow Members for their contributions, and I would like to come back once again to Mr Kósa and say that transport is very much there to support people. If we design it to be appropriate for disabled people, then it will clearly also be appropriate for the elderly and even families. Thus, this was an important priority that we set ourselves for the future.
We are not drawing up directives for the sake of drawing up directives. We draw up directives when we are convinced that one European regulation is much simpler than 27 separate ones. Therefore, I sometimes think it is very inconsistent for certain Members to go back home and say that Europe makes their lives so difficult. They just want to live by their own rules, but then want the whole of Europe to accept the rules of their country. That is unacceptable. I therefore think that here in this Parliament, we deal with the rules in a very reasonable way.
Certain Members and also certain countries are unreasonable in the way they deal with our proposals. At certain times, we cannot reach any consensus. We have just heard an example: for one person, the eco-liner is the product that can improve capacity in the future and for another person, it is a monster truck because it is damaging to the environment. I believe that Northern Europe can tolerate the eco-liner very well, but we should not see it on the mountain roads of Austria. Therefore, these are examples of areas where we perhaps should not draw up a directive.
Commissioner, we will start the practical work tomorrow. We also want to measure what we have said here – over the next few years, year by year, both in the environmental areas and with regard to modal distribution. It is therefore important for us to also have the instruments that will show us, by country and by region, how transport is organised there. That is something that we would like to make a start on together with the Commission, as we believe that all requests made in the future, including, for example, with regard to the trans-European networks, could be prioritised according to these modal distributions. This would also be an instrument that we could set up very quickly together, and it would mean that we were not merely talking in theoretical terms here, but what we have said would, in future, also be measured in practice. Thank you very much in any case for your contributions."@en1
