lpv:translated text	"I must congratulate Mrs Ainardi on her excellent work. Her report is part of a ‘rail package’ that seeks to promote the development of the rail sector through the creation of an integrated rail system. This would involve achieving the interoperability of the trans-European rail system, crucial to ensure that international traffic can flow freely. Until now, the fact that different countries have very different specifications and technical standards, that are often incompatible, has created difficulties in using rail transport. As a strong supporter of the railways, I think this is a deplorable situation. It has repercussions for both the protection of the environment and passenger safety. I therefore very much welcome the Commission’s proposal to attempt to coordinate the different TSIs (technical specifications on interoperability). That said, safety standards must never be harmonised to a lower level! We must also make it necessary to assess the expected benefits of each and every proposed TSI in terms of market share, traffic growth, environmental concerns, safety standards and social issues. Advocates of the concept of public service must keep an eagle eye on these issues, given the prevailing philosophy on this subject!"@en1
