I should like to congratulate Mr Bradbourn on his excellent report on the amended proposal for a European Parliament and Council decision amending Decision No 1692/96/EC on Community guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network. I welcome the report, particularly as regards the strategy of reinvigorating the trans-European transport network, which is one of the main keys to the smooth running of the internal market.
I strongly support Mr Bradbourn’s call for Parliament to be involved and to monitor the development of projects that form part of the development of the trans-European transport network.
I also support the request that in Article 3(2) of the Commission’s revised proposal, special mention should be made of regional airports, as they also play a genuinely vital role in the development of the trans-European transport network.
