C’est donc un texte qui est né sous des auspices difficiles. Mais ce que voudrais dire ici, parce que j’ai entendu des choses qui me surprennent, c’est que ce n’est pas un texte qui instaure une taxe ou un péage. C’est chaque État membre qui décide d’instaurer une taxe ou un péage.
It is therefore a text that was born under difficult circumstances, but I would like to say at this point, because I have been surprised by some of the things I have heard, that it is not a text that introduces a tax or a toll: it is the individual Member States that will decide whether to introduce a tax or a toll.
