".
Europe's transport system is expected to see an increase of road freight by 2013 of more than 60%. The results will be greater congestion and environmental degradation, more accidents and a loss of competitiveness of European industry, which must rely, for the management of its supply chains, on cost-efficient transportation. In this situation, a greater reliance on intermodality is necessary.
In my own constituency of Munster, I have just learned that the port of Limerick is to lose substantial facilities through sale of important land. This will cause an increase of heavy road traffic in the Limerick city area. I see my vote today as a support for not only maintaining existing water-borne freight traffic, but also for moving it from road to water. I know that there are no Marco Polo projects in Ireland, but I intend to urge the interested parties in Munster and Ireland to look for projects that are acceptable under Marco Polo."@en1
