lpv:spoken text	"I have abstained in order to bring to attention that this report does not take into consideration the difference which exists between island states and mainland. Malta is not connected by rail to the continent and its only connection is either by sea or air. In addition, Malta's economy is heavily dependent on tourism, which attracts over one million persons a year by air and close to half a million by sea. The effect on families, for instance, from the UK has been estimated to increase by 160 £ as a result of the legislation coming into force. It is important to control emissions but it is also important to distinguish between the different aspirations and realities of the component countries within the EU. The principle of one suit fits all is discriminatory when special circumstances occur."@en1
