". Mr President, I am speaking on behalf of the Transport Committee, which provided an opinion for the Budget Committee. The Committee on Transport and Tourism has underlined the importance of investments in transport. Investing in transport is important, especially in compliance with the Europe 2020 strategy for growth and jobs. It creates economic growth and improves territorial cohesion, but it also helps in achieving safety targets. The Transport Committee carefully assessed the relevant budget lines and set its political priorities very clearly. On the one hand we have investment supporting economic growth and job creation, which are essential for the Committee. It therefore voted in favour of a higher budget than that proposed by the Commission for the TEN-T programme. Unfortunately this was rejected by the Budget Committee, which supported the Commission’s draft proposal. On the other hand, the Transport Committee also identified budgetary lines where it was possible to make savings. It therefore supported the Council’s cuts on two budgetary lines concerning administrative expenditures. In terms of the rest of the transport budget, the Committee supports the Commission’s draft proposal, and it clearly feels that investment in transport infrastructure is necessary for the correct functioning and achievement of the single market within Europe."@en1
