lpv:translated text	". I believe that measures must be introduced to harmonise the safety regulations pertaining in the different Member States, in order to enhance the safety of the Community rail system and, indirectly, to improve international rail service provision. That is why I voted for this report. For some time, I have argued that there is an urgent need to prioritise rail transport at the expense of road transport in all its forms, most of all long-distance transport of heavy loads of freight. The good safety record of European rail transport provides continual confirmation, at first hand, that this argument is valid. Such a policy will bring automatic relief to our overloaded highways and byways, which are plagued by accidents. Liberalising rail services will make a significant contribution to this process, although supervising and controlling the enforcement of safety rules, and especially the maintenance of infrastructure, should become the prerogative of the public authorities. As I had occasion to say at the vote at first reading, I also support the introduction of a safety certificate for undertakings in this sector and for infrastructure managers, proper training for all staff, full access to safety information for all rail undertakings and the establishment of a single common working language for international rail transport."@en1
