"Madam President, we do not often deal with tourism in this House and I am therefore particularly grateful to Mr Costa, the rapporteur. I should like to congratulate him on a job well done.
In my view, the most positive features of this report are the sustainable approach to tourism along with the need to increase European cohesion and quality of life. I also welcome the emphasis on the importance of access to tourist services.
Visa policy is mentioned in the report too. I consider this to be a crucial matter, and we should pay great attention to monitoring the issue of visas and the operation of border crossings on the territory of the new Schengen countries. Russia and Ukraine have expressed concerns regarding the issue of visas to drivers, including coach drivers, and to couriers. Indeed, only yesterday Mr Barroso received the head of the Association of International Road Carriers of Ukraine, who voiced their concerns. I am familiar with the situation and referred the matter to Mr Frattini a month ago. So far no reply has been forthcoming. I consider this to be an important matter. It is essential for Parliament and the Commission to focus on monitoring implementation of visa policy."@en1
