I would like to congratulate most sincerely on the occasion<br />
of the <strong>10</strong>th anniversary of ELTIS.<br />
Transport serves the well being of our citizens. This<br />
must involve a high level of awareness of sustainability,<br />
sensitivity for the environment and responsibility for the<br />
same level of well being of the next generations.<br />

If ELTIS wouldn’t already exist, it would be necessary to<br />
invent it and establish it at once! There are so many networks<br />
in Europe. However, I have rarely been that convinced<br />
about the usefulness of a network as I am about<br />
ELTIS. Let me congratulate on the <strong>10</strong>th anniversary. I<br />
wish and hope for many more anniversaries. This is a<br />
festive day not only for the founders and contributors<br />
but also with regards to the efforts for a better and more<br />
sustainable mobility in Europe. Stuttgart, as a centre for<br />
mobility in Europe, is happy to join the celebrations.<br />

At the ocassion of the <strong>10</strong>th Anniversary of the ELTIS, I would<br />
like to express my admiration for all the achievements and<br />
more than succesful realization of its mission during recent<br />
past decade.<br />
To express my gratitude to the e-platform as such, I would like<br />
especially to underline the importance which www.eltis.org<br />
brings to the experts as well as to the wider community in the<br />
field of searching for and giving proper and extensive information<br />
in creating synergies by combining sustainable mobility<br />
(walking/cycling) and health benefits (more regular, daily<br />
physical activity / cleaner air). To the best of my knowledge, it<br />
represents absolutely the biggest and the best one site source<br />
for these important parts of promotion of healthier, active<br />
lifestyle, which is of invaluable importance in preserving health<br />
and preventing different types of chronic, non-communicable<br />
diseases, among which the cardiovascular are the most<br />
prevalent.<br />

I have often used ELTIS for reference material<br />
for books and papers, as well as a valuable<br />
teaching resource both here at Loughborough<br />
and for external training. It is one of the best<br />
sites on the internet for information about European<br />
best practice in clean urban transport<br />
- I congratulate ELTIS on its ten year anniversary,<br />
and long may it continue!<br />
