"Mr President, I too wish to thank my colleague, Mrs Hedkvist Petersen, for drawing up her report with such a sense of purpose and also for her active involvement in the matter of road safety generally. Thanks also go to Commissioner Liikanen for his unbiased and fruitful endeavours. The compromise that has been achieved represents the new decision-making culture and is a step forward for dealing with matters faster and more flexibly. The voluntary agreement will allow us to adopt simple solutions to increase pedestrian safety more quickly. However, Parliament must ensure that the car industry keeps its promises. For this reason a loose framework directive is appropriate. At the same time it has to be remembered that this commitment is just a start. As has been said here in several speeches, the targets for action might have been a lot more ambitious. New technology makes it possible to improve road safety in general and hence also pedestrian safety. Solutions already exist and more are on the way. They must be speedily adopted. It is now essential to monitor closely the implementation of the commitment and its results. The experience gained will allow us to evaluate the benefits of a wider application of an equivalent procedure."@en1
