lpv:translated text	". Mankind moves, and moves other objects. Movement creates noise. Our amazing age of movement, to which we also owe our sense of freedom, is a noisy one. It is our freedom that creates noise. The states, and also industry, are working to combat this noise pollution, which can cause illness. The industry endorses the legislator’s resolve to make transport, the movement of people and goods, which is a cornerstone of free movement, safer and less polluting. We are aware of the progress made in road holding, in resistance to wear and tear, in reducing fuel consumption, but for known technical reasons the investments in research and technology do not yet allow all the rapporteur’s demands to be reconciled. Global performance is estimated according to a range of often conflicting criteria that are well-known to tyre-manufacturers. Yet we chose not to support the rapporteur because the amendments he has proposed will adversely affect safety, our safety, the life span of tyres and their road-holding properties. We condemn these amendments, which would lead to what I would also call a nonsense in industrial terms. Yet again, the Union is putting the devil in the detail. And I will never cease to be surprised at the areas the Commission pokes around in and finds reason to legislate on. Noise in all its forms may well be a scourge in our town centres, around our airports, on our roads, yet surely we should put road safety first. Anyway, what do we find most annoying on a day-to-day basis? Is it the muffled sound of tyres in contact with the road, or the sudden acceleration of vehicles and the roar of powerful motorcycles? It would be better to do some in-depth research on road surface noise and dangers. Let us not lose our sense of priorities and, what I would term, legislative efficiency"@en1
