".
Mr President, I will be brief. First of all, I should like to thank Mr Rack and your Committee on Transport and Tourism, and also Parliament in general, for this work, which will allow the proposal to be adopted at first reading.
The Commission supports the compromise reached during the informal trialogue with the Council. We accept the amendments adopted by the Committee on Transport and Tourism, which reflect the Council's position, and the new compromise amendments proposed by Mr Rack and supported by the various political groups. They reflect the compromise from the informal trialogue with the Council.
Mr President, honourable Members, I have been struck by the level of agreement in the views expressed by the various speakers. We are indeed quite determined to avoid the dangers and risks of a continual increase in road traffic on Europe's roads and motorways. To achieve this, we need, particularly through the Marco Polo II programme, to actively promote all the alternative solutions: motorways of the sea, river navigation and a truly European rail network.
Like you, ladies and gentlemen, I regret that we do not have more funds, but, as one of you said, I think we need to make the best use of the funds we do have. That is why I rather hope that, thanks to the promotional measures set out in Marco Polo II, we will be able to achieve positive results. I would add that the same philosophy will inform our decisions regarding the programmes for the trans-European networks. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you once again for your work."@en1
