Jeg understreger igen, at det er nødvendigt at gøre skibene mere fleksible, det vil sige at anvende de små fladskibe til kortvarig, fleksibel og dermed intermodal transport i højere grad end at udbygge floderne i stor stil.
I again underline the fact that ships need to be made more flexible, that is, smaller flat-bottomed vessels should be used more for short-term, flexible, and hence intermodal transport in preference to major improvements being made to rivers.
