This report supports the draft regulation establishing a European Railway Agency, which is a further fundamental step towards the Commission’s objective of revitalising the whole European railway industry at both freight and passenger transport levels.
The purpose of this agency is essentially to ensure the constant harmonisation and coordination of railway employees and to issue recommendations and opinions for the Commission. Its duties will not include any kind of legislative competence and it will not have powers of regulation or independent control – it will merely play a consultative role, submit proposals and oversee safety.
The agreement in question is a further pillar in the second railway package. In view of the fact that I also agreed with the other texts in this package and as I have always advocated that the future of Europe requires major development in this sector, principally because it is an excellent alternative to our already saturated road sector, I voted in favour of it.
The revitalisation of our railways has to be a top priority for the European Union."@en1
