"Mr President, I wish to congratulate Mrs Peijs on a successful report. There are many problems and bottlenecks with regard to transport in Europe: roads and air space are congested and the competitiveness of the railways is poor. This week here in Parliament there have been many important reports on the subject of transport, all aimed at relieving congestion and reducing bottlenecks.
Mrs Peijs’s splendid report aims at exploiting the opportunities offered by short sea shipping. It is an important addition to the reports on railways and air traffic. We indeed need viable and competitive logistical chains linking road traffic, rail transport, short sea shipping and, in addition, modern information technology. For remote countries across the seas, and that includes Finland, short sea shipping is an absolutely vital necessity, just as Mr Paasilinna there just said.
I wish to mention the importance of the suitability and availability of ports and port services. Ports must be included in the Trans-European Network as part of the transport infrastructure. For the measures proposed in the report to be implemented, good levels of co-operation will be required between the Union, Member States, players at local level, and companies too, as will genuine investment of time and money in short sea shipping."@en1
