lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the report we are discussing here does not, in itself, entail any major changes. Most of the proposed amendments are of a purely technical nature. It is nonetheless worth emphasising that, each time we make this type of decision, it is good from a broad environmental perspective and it is beneficial because it creates better prior conditions for exploiting the possibilities of the internal market. Very large quantities of dangerous goods are transported around the EU, both on roads and railways and by sea. This makes it necessary to have proper rules governing transport of this kind. In area after area, we are now obtaining common minimum regulations for the Member States. This is extraordinarily positive, and there is cause to thank the rapporteur, Mr Koch, for the work he has put in on this issue. This is also important where the prerequisites for the internal market are concerned. If we are to get a common transport market genuinely up and running, it is important that we should not only have regulations but that these regulations should also, as far as possible, apply to every country. I should like to conclude by commenting on a third matter which is also of significance, namely an amendment tabled by Member of Parliament, Mr Ari Vatanen. In many ways, the prerequisites differ from one Member State to another. By approving this amendment, we take account of the fact that it can be very cold in the northern parts of the European Union. This makes it necessary to also take account of the ways in which materials and packaging are affected by cold of this kind. It is good that, in establishing the present regulations, we can also be flexible. I hope that the Commission is able to accept the present amendment."@en1
