lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, this may be a very technical affair, but it is a very important one. It really puts the Union on the map. It makes it clear that the EU is truly important. I very much welcome the combination of the 2005 Directive on frontal protection systems and the 2003 Directive on the protection of pedestrians and other vulnerable road users into a single regulation. In that sense, I do not understand the comment by Mr Meijer of the Confederal Group of the European United Left/Nordic Green Left. I must say that I have taken the floor here in this debate because this subject is very close to my heart: in 2003 I was draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety on the 2003 Directive, for which Mr Vermeer was rapporteur. I am delighted with the report and with Mr Ferrari’s proposals. I am also particularly pleased with the choice of active systems, with the choice of ABS. I endorse Mr El Khadraoui’s remark that this must also apply to vans. Let us be fair: this legislation will mean we can soon ensure a substantial reduction in the number of tragedies befalling European families."@en1
