".
The promotion of rail transport – in the same way as short-sea shipping or cabotage – as a safer and more ecological alternative to the congestion on road links has, for a long time, been an extremely important basic guideline. In order to ensure, however, that this proposal is based on a fruitful and objective debate, it is crucial that we have a rigorous and reliable understanding of the realities of the sector, both in terms of determining the urgency of the strategic decisions to be taken – especially
priority destinations and journeys – and in terms of measures to achieve a desirable reduction in road transport. This is the importance of this proposal for a regulation, which is intended to update and adapt rail transport statistics in order to be able to provide better monitoring and a more accurate analysis of developments in the sector, bearing in mind the measures that are to be adopted under the rail package. Now that we have reached this phase, I welcome the fact that a common position has been achieved in Council – with some amendments tabled by Parliament also being adopted – demonstrating that this is a subject that unites more than it divides and which could have an enormously positive impact on the quality of life of future European citizens. These are the reasons why I have fully supported this report."@en1
