".
Safety – and in this particular case road safety – is an area that the European Union has always held dear. Indeed many directives have been adopted in this regard.
The proposal before us seeks to increase minimum safety requirements in tunnels on the Trans-European Road Network. I therefore offer my wholehearted support to this report.
The Common Position that has been reached, which the rapporteur calls on us to endorse, reduces the technical elements substantially and does not seek to impose specific and detailed obligations on Member States. The main objective remains the same and a higher level of safety in Trans-European tunnels will be ensured.
I also welcome the administrative structure suggested in the report, with a safety coordinator and an authority responsible for traffic in the tunnel. This strikes me as an effective means of achieving the desired aim.
The unanimous vote in the Committee on Regional Policy, Transport and Tourism and the complete convergence of the positions of the two institutions were important factors in my decision to vote in favour of the report before us."@en1
