Derfor har jeg heller ikke kunnet støtte ændringsforslag 13, stillet af min kollega Miranda, fordi det afspejler en statisk holdning til behovet for at skabe ny dynamik for en transportform, der er miljøvenlig, og som med hensyn til godstransport kan bidrage til mindre belastning af Europas vejnet, men som kræver omfattende investeringer, der kun bliver mulige via en åbning af markederne.
That is why we were also unable to give our support to Amendment No 13 tabled by Mr Miranda, because this amendment reflects a rigid approach to the need to revitalise a mode of transport that is environmentally clean and which has a contribution to make in the area of freight transport to reducing congestion in European road transport, but which requires substantial financial investment that only opening up the market can make viable.
