lpv:translated text	"Mr. President, I would like to thank our rapporteur, Mr El Khadraoui. He has done a fine job. He has dealt with hundreds of comments. More to the point, I would like to stress that it is road transport that is currently keeping Europe up and running. It is true that we are deciding on introducing additional charges, and it seems right that we should pay for what we use. But when planning our work on the directive, we did not plan on the crisis. I therefore feel I must speak on behalf of the road hauliers and say that their actual situation is much worse, particularly with the fall in demand for international road transport. The hauliers have cited huge financial burdens, particularly those of tax on fuels. There has been a temporary respite in terms of fuel costs, but we, as the European Union, cannot guarantee fuel prices over the longer term. I believe that both the European Commission and governments should enter into dialogue with professional road hauliers. We must explain to them how this initiative came about. And we must also convince them that our intention is equal treatment for all forms of transport, and finally, that we are responsible for a sensible, balanced European transport policy."@en1
