"Mr President, I would like to begin by thanking Mathieu Grosch for this excellent report. The transport sector is not just important for the development of the European Union, its regions and towns; it is also important for European citizens because it provides jobs for many Europeans and serves the completion of the European internal market. Transport must make a significant contribution to the EU 2020 strategy, particularly with regard to employment, sustainable economic growth, research, energy, innovation and the environment. I agree with the rapporteur’s opinion that some Member States underestimate the European added value of transport policy and obstruct it by implementing directives and the projects themselves incorrectly or late. In these times of economic and financial crisis, investment in TEN-T projects is not being encouraged enough. We need to effectively link the transport networks of the new and old EU Member States and eliminate disparities between the levels of infrastructure development in the EU Member States. The creation of a competitive and resource efficient transport system is essential for Europe."@en1
