Jacques Barrot,<br />
Vice President of the<br />
European Commission,<br />
Transport Commissioner<br />
“To ensure that mobility – which<br />
is a value and essential lever<br />
<strong>in</strong> competitiveness – becomes<br />
susta<strong>in</strong>able <strong>in</strong> a context of <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g<br />
<strong>in</strong>ternational trade […] there are<br />
three requirements. First, the most<br />
appropriate transportation modes<br />
must be chosen. […] Rail, river and<br />
maritime modes will replace truck<strong>in</strong>g<br />
for mov<strong>in</strong>g goods over long distances.<br />
[…] Second, road transportation has<br />
to become green. […] The European<br />
Union must pave the way for a<br />
planned and managed rollout of<br />
biofuel through dialgoue with the<br />
stakeholders <strong>in</strong> this fi eld. […]<br />
Our third imperative is to organize<br />
more-<strong>in</strong>telligent transportation<br />
by comb<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g new communications<br />
technology and satellite navigation.<br />
[…] Urban mobility will ga<strong>in</strong><br />
enormously from the real-time<br />
<strong>in</strong>formation revolution. […] Reliable<br />
<strong>in</strong>formation on a city’s traffi c fl ow<br />
must go hand <strong>in</strong> hand with the<br />
growth <strong>in</strong> comfortable, dependable<br />
public transportation organized<br />
around all of the other means<br />
of mobility.”<br />
