"Although it is an own-initiative report, this text reminds the Commission and the Member States of our concerns about the delay in implementing a real European transport area. Above all, we are all regional elected representatives and we know the realities faced by our fellow citizens in their daily lives. That is why I am voting in favour of this text. Great progress has been made since 20 years ago. However, there is still some way to go. I should like to point out one of the vital roles of transport networks: proper and sustainable spatial planning. Europe is sometimes too removed from these issues, while territorial cohesion is now one of its prerogatives. Also, I would like this report to mark a new start for EU action in our regions. Supporting Trans-European Transport Networks is not all there is to it. Today Europe needs to promote regional projects around the installation of this major infrastructure. In particular I am thinking of the arrival of high-speed railways, which make such a good contribution to opening up regions and are also an important tool for local development."@en1
