"The report in question, drafted by Mr Grosch, is based on the European Commission White Paper, adopted in March 2001 called ‘Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area – Towards a competitive and resource efficient transport system’. We are all aware that mobility is essential for societies to function, particularly for a competitive economy and for its citizens’ freedom. Over the course of the last few years, road transport has been prioritised, to the detriment of railways. Therefore, in view of the Europe 2020 strategy, we have to consider key issues such as road safety, so to reduce the numbers of fatalities and those injured, environmental protection, so as to halve CO
emissions, green energy sources, and economic sustainability. We are talking about more than 10 million jobs and around 5% of gross domestic product.
Since I advocate the creation of a Single European Transport Area, I voted for this report and I hope that implementation of new instruments will improve all modes of transport, especially for the outermost regions of the EU, and that it gives a new impetus to the trans-European network and to railway proposals."@en1
