"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank you for a sound report and for the valuable cooperation we have enjoyed during its preparation. Those of us in my political group have really helped ensure that we shall be able to obtain a good final product.
Efficient transport is crucial to our economy, especially in the case of regions far from the centre of the EU. At the same time, those of us who are dependent upon both passenger and freight transport must be entitled to communicate without such communication’s damaging public health through air pollution and noise. We must therefore make efforts to integrate public health considerations into transport, and we must apply that part of the Treaty which states that we must have a high level of health protection in all the EU’s policies.
We support the proposal in favour of health impact assessments for transport projects and policies. There are many good examples given, which we can use in our continued work. I would also call upon the Commission to do the same.
Cyclists and pedestrians must be able to proceed safely and quickly. Cars must be designed in such a way that, in the event of their colliding with passengers, they cause minimal injury. Moreover, we must multiply the good examples of cycle paths and pedestrianised precincts to be found in municipalities and regions throughout the EU. These are concepts we must make use of when we draw up our policy.
I also wish to support the draft oral compromise tabled by the rapporteur. I hope we shall obtain a good result."@en1
