".
Mr President, the Committee on Transport and Tourism has examined this budget in the light of the cuts that have already been made under the current Financial Perspective, which will soon enter its final year. We should therefore like to register our protest at the proposal to reduce spending on the trans-European networks by EUR 120 million. We believe that the trans-European networks are a key tool for implementing the vision of a cohesive Europe and that of regional development.
Furthermore, we cannot consent to the Council’s amendments aimed at reducing expenditure on transport safety bodies. In particular, we are opposed to the cuts made to spending on the prevention of marine pollution.
In view of these two key issues, we should like to make it quite clear that an efficient transport system is in the interests of the citizens of the EU and of its economy, and I would ask all the political groups and Members of this House to lend us their support. I should like to pay tribute to Mr Pittella, who has contributed so much to work on this draft budget."@en1
