lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, with the White Paper on transport, the European Parliament discusses, among other things, regulation of the flow of traffic so that the economy in our European Union remains in motion or is set in motion and the environment is protected. As rapporteur, Mr Grosch has put forward excellent proposals, including for the optimal use of appropriate modes of transport and a mix of different modes of transport. In this regard, we see that not all modes of transport make sense and are suitable to be used in all regions and all countries. In this connection, I would refer to the so-called gigaliners. These are the heavy goods vehicles that are a third longer and twice as heavy as the heavy goods vehicles previously approved and used. For my country, Austria, the use of these huge lorries would be completely nonsensical from an economic point of view. For measures for converting the infrastructure that needs to be adapted, even if we only had to carry these out on transit routes, for example, on bridges or at emergency stopping places, motorway services or roundabouts, we would have to spend in the region of EUR 1 billion. However, with the amendments that we have tabled in respect of paragraph 26, we have succeeded in ensuring that there will not be Europe-wide approval of these gigaliners. It will be the Member States who will be able to decide in future whether or not they will approve these lorries within their territory. What is good for Sweden’s timber transport and its timber and transport industry is a long way from being acceptable and sensible for crossing the Alps in Austria. I am therefore pleased that we have achieved this compromise and that the Member States are free to choose whether or not to approve this mode of transport on their roads."@en1
