lpv:translated text	"Mr President, always supposing it is possible, I too would like to try and go back in time and start this debate again here in this Parliamentary Chamber, with rather a different tone from that which has characterised some of the speeches. Mr Lisi, who spoke just now, has already said that we would have expected more generosity, at least in the exercising of our function as Parliamentary representatives of the European peoples – and I repeat, the European peoples – because it is possible to address problems of whose cause we are all, all aware without being hijacked by the martyr-like, exploitative or resigned attitudes of national interests. We will make no progress at all for as long as we think that the sacrosanct protection of legitimate interests – the protection and preservation of the environment – can only be achieved by riding roughshod over and obliterating others. We will make no progress at all! I believe that the solution adopted, once again as a transitional measure, by the Caveri report is the best solution possible under the given circumstances. We are now attempting to increase what needs to be encouraged rather than what needs to be reduced: on the one hand the use of less-pollutant vehicles and, on the other, what can only be a positive process towards the definition of long-awaited pricing systems which will allow us to provide an organic response to the problem, towards the solution which can further our cause, adopting an approach certainly of recognising European priorities, which, however, presuppose the consistent shouldering of national responsibilities, those investments which, in the future, will make compatible the sacrosanct need for environmental protection and the free movement of goods, the rights, not least, of producer communities which live south of the Alps and could not be fobbed off with solutions which they considered to be merely uncalled-for restrictions. If we all decide to uphold responsibilities of this kind that the national governments have disregarded for too long and the committee’s related proposals, I believe that the next debate on this matter will be more worthy of the collective role we have to play."@en1
