lpv:translated text	"Mr President, public transport must be developed for environmental reasons and for reasons based on social equality, for example, and as has already been stated here earlier, it must be made attractive. It is difficult to understand that competition is seen as the only way to achieve this goal. Competition is a good servant but a poor master, and one should always consider separately in each individual case whether competition is the only way to increase cost-effectiveness and to improve services and make them more efficient. Just like Mr Meijer who presented the report stated earlier, many municipalities, unfortunately, have already anticipated the EU’s forthcoming resolutions and allowed for competition in this field, and not always with very good consequences. In addition, I am of the opinion that the proven methods that various Member States have used in the past in connection with public transport should be taken into consideration in this context: it must be possible to retain the licensing procedure that has been found to be so good and cost-effective in Finland."@en1
