lpv:spoken text	"Whilst there is no doubt that noise pollution is a serious issue for the environment across the EU, it is essential that when implementing this regulation, we do not forget the impact it could have on vulnerable sections of society. I voted in favour of the amendment making AVAS (Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System) mandatory for manufacturers of quiet vehicles. Blind and partially sighted people are particularly reliant on audible clues to judge when it is safe to cross the road. They have the right to independent mobility, a right which would be worryingly jeopardised if mandatory AVAS were not adopted. As was the case with seatbelt legislation – road safety measures do not work if they are voluntary. Many concerned citizens have contacted me to ask that I support mandatory AVAS and I have done so."@en1
