It is rather difficult because, as I am sure both the honourable Members who raised the question on this issue understand, when we have Member States that are imposing weekend bans in order to resist the pressures of traffic - entirely understandably - it is rather difficult for us to be pious or self-righteous about the imposition of comparable bans in Eastern and Central European countries whose populations are feeling the same irritation as a result of the congestion on their roads caused by heavy lorries, roads which are much less adequate even than those that we have in the European Union.
Je suis certain que l'Honorable Parlementaire auteur de la question mesure la difficulté de la situation. En effet, alors que certains États membres imposent des interdictions de circuler pendant le week-end pour réduire le trafic, attitude parfaitement compréhensible du reste, je vois difficilement comment nous pourrions adopter une attitude hypocrite et pharisaïque à l'encontre de ce type d'interdiction dans des pays d'Europe centrale et orientale, dont la population ressent la même irritation face à la congestion, par des poids lourds, de routes nettement moins adaptées d'ailleurs que celles de l'Union européenne.
