Men efter at have læst denne betænkning sidder jeg alligevel tilbage med spørgsmålet om, hvor vidt dette arbejde hører hjemme i Europa-Parlamentet.
On the whole, however, this is a substantial and varied report which is accompanied by an explanatory statement that is well worth reading.
For på dette område findes der jo allerede mange bilaterale kontakter mellem byerne indbyrdes.
If the principle of subsidiarity is applied to this area, we come back to the question I mentioned earlier, in other words what is the role of the Commission in this context?
I den forbindelse undersøges det bestemt, hvordan man kan lære af hinandens positive resultater, og hvilke fejl man skal vogte sig for, og hvilke ting man kan gribe an i fællesskab.
In my opinion, its role should be limited to encouraging and, if necessary, coordinating the exchange of information, since it is up to the Member States and their authorities to deal with the problems that exist.
Det er ikke så let at komme med nyt med hensyn til denne problematik.
As far as I am concerned, however, he could have been even more sparing in this respect.
Desuden er der mellem byerne indbyrdes og den funktion, som de har i deres område, for det meste så store forskelle, at der ikke findes entydige opskrifter.
The speed limits that are to be considered should there fore not result in another burden on urban road traffic.
Schodruch (DR). — (DE) Hr. formand, bytrafikken er en trafikform, der i stigende grad volder ikke kun parlamentsmedlemmer bekymringer.
VOHRER (LDR). — (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to congratulate my friend and colleague Mr Wijsenbeek on his report, while at the same time making a number of critical observations.
De problemer, der hænger sammen med den stadig øgede benyttelse af vejene forekommer næsten uløselige.
When we talk about an excessive burden of traffic, we should also ask ourselves why this actually comes about.
Der skal tages energiske skridt for at hindre et fuldstændigt sammenbrud af trafikken i vore byers gader.
And there is no escaping the fact that this excessive burden comes about because the lack of road space in our cities is not reflected in prices.
Også i anledning af indholdet vil jeg gerne fremsætte nogle bemærkninger.
For the rest, however, the rapporteur has dealt comprehensively with the problems, which he has also illustrated convincingly with statistics, so that the report is likely to make a contribution to solving what in general terms is a difficult set of problems.
Det er mit indtryk, at betænkningen med hele 59 punkter er temmelig omfattende.
When we talk about the strain on the urban environment, my conclusion is that we simply do not have the courage to translate this strain on the environment into environmental costs, and to reflect these in prices.
Fordelen derved er selvfølgelig, at den indeholder så mange forskellige ideer og forslag, at der er noget for enhver smag deri.
If we are operating as Liberals here, we should have more confidence in the market!
Om trafiksikkerhed kommer der desuden en særskilt betænkning.
We need to give the market and prices a greater role.
Der er dog nogle overlapninger med andre betænkninger, bl.a. med fru Pollacks betænkning om bymiljøet, som blev vedtaget sidste år af Parlamentet.
This clearly means that we should express the costs resulting from urban traffic in terms of prices, according to the 'polluter pays' principle.
Han foreslår nu forskellige foranstaltninger med henblik på en forbedring.
Given the scale and the intractable nature of this problem, it is a good thing to take stock of the issues in detail once again.
Meget af det kan man erklære sig enig i.
We wish to see an environmentally friendly traffic policy in cities, and I say this at the very time when the conference on the environment is taking place in Rio.
Men en øget indførelse af hastighedsbegrænsninger forekommer problematisk, fordi det, som erfaringerne i navnlig tyske storbyer som Berlin og München viser, fører til betydelige trafikkøer.
The conclusion which I draw from this is that we need to have the courage to charge cars which are too cheap to run their full costs in cities and beyond, since unless we tackle the issue of cars, we shall have to subsidize public transport.
Disse forværres yderligere af vejarbejde, hvor køresporene indsnævres.
There is a certain linkage or elasticity in prices: if one form of transport is too cheap, its costs must be absorbed in other sectors.
De hastighedsbegrænsninger, der skal tages op til overvejelse, må således ikke medføre, at belastningen i bytrafikken flyttes til andre steder i byerne.
It must be said that the rapporteur has succeeded in putting together an interesting document, having studied the matter thoroughly.
Rent bortset fra, at også risikoen for ulykker øges på grund af indsnævringen af køresporene, idet bilisterne så hyppigere skifter kørebane, vokser også emissionen af skadelige stoffer.
There is after all a good deal of bilateral contact between cities in this field, in which they make a point of looking at how they can learn from each other's successes, what mistakes they should avoid, and which matters can be tackled jointly.
I øvrigt må det konstateres, at ordføreren har taget omfattende stilling til problemerne, som han på en overbevisende måde har underbygget med især statistisk materiale, således at betænkningen er egnet til at yde et bidrag til løsningen af de som helhed vanskelige problemer.
It is not easy to contribute much that is new in terms of these issues. Moreover, there are so many differences between the cities and the roles they play in their regions that no simple recipes are available.
Endvidere kan der efter min opfattelse sættes spørgsmålstegn ved nogle punkter.
That is why we have such enormous subsidies in public transport.
Jeg er også i tvivl om det nyttige i at oprette en EF-informationsinstans, således som der opfordres til i punkt 42.
Unless we make car travel more expensive, we shall have to go on subsidizing public transport.
Således kunne forskellige andre punkter forsynes med en kommentar.
We need to have the courage to apply the ecological market economy to the transport sector too.
Men betragtet som helhed har vi at gøre med en mangesidig og indholdsrig betænkning, som desuden er ledsaget af en begrundelse, der i høj grad er værd at læse.
I should also like to comment on the substance of the report.
Hvis vi anvendte subsidiaritetsprincippet på denne sag, kommer vi igen tilbage til det tidligere nævnte spørgsmål, nemlig hvilken opgave Kommissionen har her?
My impression is that this report of no less than 59 paragraphs is a very comprehensive one indeed.
Denne burde efter min opfattelse begrænses til stimulering og om nødvendigt koordinering af udveksling af information, for det er medlemsstater nes og de lavere myndigheders opgave at tage affære i forbindelse med disse problemer.
The advantage of this is of course that it contains such a variety of ideas and suggestions that everyone will find something in it to his taste.
Det er ordføreren for øvrigt også klar over.
Also, a separate report is to be produced on road safety.
Han tildeler nemlig kun Kommissionen få opgaver, og det er prisværdigt. Men for min skyld kunne han have været endnu mere sparsommelig dermed.
There is in fact some degree of overlapping with other reports, for example that by Mrs Pollack on the urban environment which was adopted by Parliament last year.
van der Waal (NI). — (NL) Hr. formand, næsten alle byer af en vis størrelse i EF har i hvert fald et problem tilfælles, nemlig hvordan man kan klare den tiltagende mobilitet og samtidig kan fremme livskvaliteten i byen.
MILLAN, Member of the Commission. — Mr President, first I should like to add my thanks to those already expressed to Mr Wijsenbeek for his very comprehensive report.
For alle byer har at gøre med former for stor trafiktæthed og kødannelser.
It very clearly explains some of the problems from which we are all suffering both personally and collective ly arising from urban congestion and the transport problems associated with that.
I betragtning af dette problems omfang og komplekse karakter er det godt, at der endnu en gang er gjort grundig status over denne problematik. En overskuelig sam
It does not, of course, produce comprehensive solutions and some of the contributions this afternoon have been rather unfair to Mr Wijsenbeek.
Vohrer (LDR). — (DE) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, jeg vil gerne gratulere hr. Florus Wijsenbeek med hans betænkning og alligevel fremsætte et par kritiske bemærkninger.
Furthermore, I feel that question marks have to be placed against some paragraphs.
Når vi taler om miljøbelastning i byerne, kommer jeg til det resultat, at vi simpelt hen skal have mod til at gøre miljøbelastningen til miljøomkostninger og lade disse give sig udslag i prisen.
Some of these problems are extremely difficult and not of all of them, as has been pointed out, fall within the direct Community competence.
Når vi her optræder som liberale, bliver vi nødt til at skænke netop markedet mere tillid! Vi skal give markedet og prisen flere funktioner.
Many of these problems have to be solved at local and regional level.
Det betyder helt klart, at vi via princippet om, at forureneren betaler, tydeligt skal lade de udgifter, der følger af bytrafikken, give sig udslag i priserne.
Some of them are identified in the report and some of them I will mention in my remarks a little later on dealing with some of the specific recommendations made in the report as to action that might be taken by the Commission.
Nødvendigheden af at fremme anvendelsen af forskellige trans portmetoder i byområder for at reducere problemerne med for stor trafiktæthed accepteres på alle niveauer — regionalt, nationalt og helt afgjort på fællesskabsniveu.
One of the problems is not just to enact the restrictions but to ensure that they are adhered to. I agree with Mrs Van Dijk that this is one of the most serious problems we face in the Community.
Hvordan det skal gøres — ved et system, hvor reguleringen sker via prisfastsættelsen, et system med kontrol, et system med udvikling af den offentlige transport og tilsvarende begrænsninger over for den private transport — er noget, der ikke let kan findes en løsning på, og hvor der, som vi har hørt her i eftermiddag, kan være forskellige opfattelser af, hvad løsningen bør være.
Drunken driving is a particularly serious problem and causes many fatal road accidents. However, it is very difficult to see how the Commission or the Community can produce a recommendation or a directive which would deal directly with that kind of problem.
Men jeg tror, der er almindelig enighed om, at det er nødvendigt at fremme en diversifikation af transportmetoderne i byområder og i særdeleshed at nedsætte den alt for store afhængighed af privatbiler, der er årsagen til mange af de problemer, vi har i øjeblik ket.
Nevertheless, we have recently adopted a directive on speed limiters for buses and lorries, an important aspect of road safety, and I would also mention the Commission proposal which is still on the Council table concerning speed limits for commercial vehicles. So there is a certain amount of activity going on in that field.
Vi ønsker en miljøvenlig transportpolitik i byerne, og det siger jeg netop på det tidspunkt, hvor miljø konferencen finder sted i Rio.
Generally, I can say that the overall tenor of the report is consistent with and complements the findings of the Commission's Green Paper on sustainable mobility.
Bæredygtighed skal også gælde for transporten.
The need to promote a diversification of transport modes in urban areas to reduce the problems of congestion is accepted at all levels — regional, national and certainly at Community level.
Deraf drager jeg den konklusion, at vi bliver nødt til at have mod til at vælte de omkostninger, bilen forårsager i byerne og også uden for dem, over på den for billige bil, for når vi ikke begynder med bilen, bliver vi nødt til at yde støtte til offentlige transportmidler.
How that should be done — by a system of pricing, by a system of control, by a system of development of public transport with corresponding restrictions on private transport — is a matter that cannot easily be resolved and where there may be differences of view, as we have had them expressed this afternoon, as to what the solutions might be.
Der er jo en vis priselasticitet eller prissammenhæng: Er den ene transportform for billig, skal omkostningerne derved bæres af andre transportformer.
But I think there is a general agreement that we do need to promote a diversification of transport modes in urban areas and, in particular, to reduce the over-dependence on the private car which is responsible for many of the problems we have at the moment.
Jeg kan sige til Parlamentet, at generaldirektoratet for transport allerede har indledt drøftelser med andre generaldirektorater med henblik på at ned sætte en tværgående arbejdsgruppe om bytrafik.
I can say to the House that the Directorate-General for Transport has already begun discussions with other directorates-general with a view to forming an interservice working group on urban transport issues.
Denne gruppes arbejde vil supplere det, der udføres af den ekspertgruppe angående bymiljø, der for nylig er blevet oprettet, og dette arbejde vil tage hensyn til det andet arbejde, der allerede er gjort i Kommissionen og andre steder.
The work of this group will complement that of the recently constituted Urban Environment Experts Group and take account of other work that has already been done in the Commission and elsewhere.
Derfor er der tale om så store støttebeløb i den offentlige transport.
So far as urban planning, the subject of paragraph 42, is concerned, it is certainly true that, as a number of Members have said, the Community has no overall competence in the field of urban policy.
Byen Stuttgart betaler 43% af omkostningsdækningen i forbindelse med den offentlige transport.
I have a particu lar interest in this as Commissioner for regional policy because we deal with many problems at the urban level, but we have no general competence in the structural funds or anywhere else to deal with urban problems per se.
Hvis vi ikke gør bilen dyrere, bliver vi nødt til fortsat at yde støtte til den offentlige transport.
We can sometimes deal with them when they are related to economic development but there is no general competence of the Community in this field.
Vi bliver nødt til at have mod til at praktisere økologisk markedsøkonomi også på transportsektoren.
Nevertheless, we have tried, for example in the document entitled 'Europe 2000' — which my own DG was responsible for, together with DG VII and with Mr Van Miert and other Commissioners -— not only to develop the concept of spatial planning on a Europe-wide basis, dealing with land use and so on, which has implications for transport policy in a wider context, but also to incorporate urban policy in a chapter particularly related to the role of transport there.
Hvad jeg gerne vil gøre nu er at besvare de forskel lige punkter i den rækkefølge, hvori de står i Wijsen-beek-betænkningen, og hvor man anmoder Kom missionen om at gøre noget.
What I should like to do now is respond to the points in the order in which they appear in Mr Wijsenbeek's report where action is called for from the Commission.
Hvad for det første punkt 25 angår, spørgsmålet om foranstaltninger til fremme af anvendelse af cykler, kan jeg sige, at Kommissionen vil yde et beskedent bidrag til omkostningerne ved at organisere Velo City konferencen, der skal holdes næste år i Nottingham i Det Forenede Kongerige, som vi har gjort ved tidligere konferencer i Milano, København og Groningen.
First, so far as paragraph 25 is concerned, the question of measures to promote bicycle use, I can say that the Commission will make a modest contribution to the cost of organizing the Velo City Conference to be held next year in Nottingham in the UK, as we have done in previous conferences in Milan, Copenhagen and Groningen.
Så vi accepterer den generelle tendens i denne henstilling. ling.
So we accept the general thrust of that recommendation.
Den giver naturligvis ikke detaljerede løsninger, og nogle af indlæggene her i eftermiddag har været lidt urimelige over for hr. Wijsenbeek. Hvis han havde fremlagt en meget detaljeret overordnet plan til løsning af alle disse problemer, ville det have været noget ganske usædvanligt og uhørt.
Finally, taking paragraphs 45 and 58 together, my colleague Mr Van Miert is currently in the process of drafting a comprehensive White Paper on Transport in the Community, which will be available later this year and will set out in a coherent manner the Commission's view on transport in the Community.
På den anden side er der flere forskellige måder, hvorpå Kommissionen og Fællesskabet kan yde et bidrag til løsningen af disse problemer.
In conclusion, I thank Mr Wijsenbeek and all those others who have contributed to this very interesting debate on this very important but extremely difficult topic.
Punkt 26, 27 og 28 drejer sig om trafiksikkerhed, et område, hvor vi kan yde et bidrag på fællesskabs plan; og vi vil snart fremlægge en meddelelse om trafiksikkerhed, der er udarbejdet efter retningslinjer fastlagt af en gruppe af højt placerede regeringseksperter.
Paragraphs 26, 27 and 28 relate to road safety, an area where we can make a contribution at Community level; and we shall shortly be presenting a communication on road safety which was drafted along the guidelines of a high-level group of governmental experts.
I denne meddelelse bliver spørgsmålet om uddannelse, der rejses i punkt 26, behandlet mere detaljeret, herunder færdselsundervisning for børn, skønt disse ting også må gøres på lokalt plan; hvad angår spørgsmålet om vejskilte, som der tages fat på i punkt 27, er der foretaget adskillige undersøgelser, der beskæftiger sig med harmonisering af vejskilte
In this communication the issue of education which is raised in paragraph 26 is elaborated, including road user training for children, although, again, these things have to be done at local level; as regards the issue of road signs which is addressed in paragraph 27, several studies have been launched aimed at harmonization of road signs in the framework of the ongoing revision of the United Nations Vienna Convention.
Endelig, når vi tager punkt 45 og 58 under ét, så er min kollega, hr. Van Miert, i øjeblikket ved at udarbejde en omfattende hvidbog om transport i Fællesskabet, som vil være klar senere i år, og som på sammenhængende måde vil formulere Kommissionens opfattelse af transport inden for Fællesskabet.
year 2000 will inevitably entail the transformation of the entire system to meet the objectives of effectiveness, efficiency and respect for the environment, all of which are aimed at a different kind of mobility, favouring encounters between peoples, of ordinary people, of man kind, and at helping to build a social Europe, a citizens' Europe.
Parlamentet vil blive spurgt til råds om den.
In short, what we need to do is to define an efficient system ensuring freedom of movement for people and goods, making the single market a genuine reality.
Afslutningsvis takker jeg hr. Wijsenbeek og alle de andre, der har bidraget til denne meget interessante debat om dette meget vigtige, men yderst vanskelige emne.
This is the basic premise of a report that is overflowing with detailed and specific ideas.
Wijsenbeek (LDR). — (EN) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne stille et kort spørgsmål til kommissæren.
(NL) I should like to make one other comment to Mrs van Dijk, who clearly said that this report had been very much improved by being substantially amended, and that it had initially been too incoherent.
I min mundtlige indledning spurgte jeg specielt om noget, der ikke var klart i betænkningen, men som jeg gerne ville have et svar på fra Kommissionen, angående koordineret aktivitet fra Kommissionen om eftersøgning og mærkning af stjålne køretøjer og cykler. Vil kommissæren være venlig at kommentere dette?
Let me say in any event that from my point of view, most of the amendments were actually more than welcome, except for the fact that those tabled by the Green Group were completely incomprehensible, to the extent that they had to be withdrawn by the Greens themselves.
Hvad angår punkt 28, så er harmonisering af hastighedsgrænserne et element i et samlet forsøg på at gøre kørsel mindre aggressiv og farlig.
When Mrs van Dijk then talks about speeding, I would point out that paragraph 28 was originally included in the report.
Et af problemerne er ikke bare at vedtage restriktionerne, men at sikre, at de bliver overholdt. Jeg er enig med fru van Dijk i, at det er et af de mest alvorlige problemer, vi står over for i Fællesskabet.
Building a fully integrated Europe — this is another of the objectives set out in this report, which was adopted unanimously at the meeting which the Committee on Transport and Tourism held in Naples.
Jeg vil alligevel gerne fremsætte endnu en bemærk ning til fru van Dijk, som har fremhævet, at denne betænkning bl.a. takket være det betydelige antal ændringsforslag er blevet så meget bedre, og at den først var for usammenhængende.
Finally, another mistake which Mrs van Dijk has made is that when we are talking about the costs of public transport in relation to private transport, it is the variable costs that are calculated.
Endda så uforståelige, at De Grønne selv måtte tage dem tilbage. Denne bebrejdelse accepterer jeg således ikke.
That is also made clear in the explanatory statement contained in the report; if she had read this, she would have grasped the point.
Til sidst vil jeg nævne endnu en fejl, som fru van Dijk begår, når det drejer sig om udgifter til offentlig transport i forhold til privat transport, er de variable udgifter de udgifter, som beregnes.
In fact, there can be no complete integration unless the transport system as a whole provides full access to the entire territory of the Community countries, thinking in terms of a future Europe extending from the Atlantic to the Urals.
Det står også i betænkningens begrundelse, hvis hun havde læst det, ville hun også have forstået det.
We need a transport system which will enable us to develop all our resources, but above all to close the gap between North and South and between the centre and the periphery.
Milian, medlem af Kommissionen. — (EN) Hr. for mand, jeg tror ikke, disse sidste ting angår mig, men jeg vil blot kort kommentere det første, der blev sagt om den interessante idé om en form for mærkning eller et andet system, der kunne hjælpe med til at løse problemerne med biltyverier, som nu undertiden finder sted på internationalt plan.
MILLAN. — Mr President, I do not think these latter points are matters for me, but I will just comment briefly on the first point that was made about this interesting idea of some kind of marking or other system which would help in resolving the problem of car theft, which some times now takes place on an international scale.
Jeg har noteret mig det, det ærede medlem har sagt.
I have noted the point made by the honourable Member.
Men noget af dette fører os uden for transportpolitikkens område og ind i straffelovgivningen og kriminalpolitikken, som Kommissionen ikke kan beskæftige sig med. Men jeg vil bestemt henlede hr. Van Mierts opmærk somhed på det.
Some of this, however, takes us out of the field of transport policy into the field of criminal jurisdiction and criminal policy, which is not a matter for the Commission. But I will certainly draw it to the attention of Mr Van Miert.
Vi kan undertiden behandle dem, når de har sammenhæng med den økonomiske udvikling, men der er ikke nogen generel kompetence for Fællesskabet på dette område.
One of the poles to which I would specifically refer is the Mediterranean and southern Italy.
Så det er ikke helt sandt, at vi ikke direkte bidrager til løsningen af nogle af disse problemer, men jeg erkender, at det sker som del af en samlet politik, der ikke er specielt rettet mod de bymæssige problemer som sådan.
Mr Coimbra Martins will certainly cover this subject better than I can in his report on transport in the Mediterranean but, as far as strategy is concerned, the question is not without relevance to this report.
