lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this important report, bearing clearly in mind the worrying predictions of the Commission, which suggest that road freight transport in the European Union will increase by around 50% by 2010. I fully share the objectives of the Marco Polo programme, and the rapporteur’s view on how to reduce road congestion and improve the environmental performance of the worldwide transport system. I also believe that congestion constitutes a threat both to the environment and to the vitality of the economy and am, therefore, in favour of measures that reduce congestion and pollution and encourage the transfer of freight transport from road to rail, inland waterways and short sea shipping. We must also pay attention, however, to areas in which bottlenecks occur and the factors causing these in these other modes of transport, so that the Marco Polo programme does not lead to a transfer of congestion from one mode of transport to another."@en1
