".
The aim of this directive is to introduce common safety targets (CSTs) and common safety methods (CSMs). According to the Council, these should ensure that a high level of safety is maintained and can be improved, when reasonably practicable and taking into account the competitiveness of the rail transport mode. This requirement for competitiveness, in conjunction with the requirement for the internal market to function correctly, underpins the whole content of this Directive.
We voted against a good number of the amendments, therefore, since the objective of safer railways will not be achieved via the European Parliament’s proposals, since the latter only stipulate minimum standards at European level, preventing Member States from drawing up different national standards without the agreement of the others. Furthermore, the new rules must not jeopardise the free circulation of trains.
Yet again, the European Parliament has adopted an uncompromising stance, which we oppose."@en1
