lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I am not going to philosophise on the notion of a package but I can tell you that my group intends to vote enthusiastically for the Sterckx report and the Savary report and is delighted to be able to do so tomorrow. With regard to Mr Jarzembowski’s proposal, on the other hand, the discussions have been more closely argued and doubtful, because we are not in favour of the status quo. To make matters clear: we really want to strengthen European rail transport because we want to encourage means of transport that are safer and more economical in terms of energy and space and therefore more sustainable. That seems to me perfectly clear. The question we are asking ourselves is this: will this objective be achieved through the liberalisation of international rail passenger transport under the conditions outlined in this report? That is where questions start to arise. Will we actually achieve a transfer from road and air to rail? Will we guarantee a safer and more accessible service for people and better social and territorial cohesion? To find out, surely we could conduct a serious evaluation. We have experience, within the Member States, of passenger transport being opened up to competition; we have the first and second packages. Let us take a closer look at what happens in terms of quality, of real transfer from road to rail, of prices and of safety. In short, there are many questions. We wonder about the compatibility between the opening up to competition of national corridors through cabotage and respect for the obligations of public service as set out in the July regulation. We ask ourselves, as indeed do other Members, whether we are not going to move, in some countries, from a monopoly situation to an oligopoly situation or whether we are not going to see the emergence, as in air transport, of low cost companies, to the detriment of working conditions and safety. In short, for the majority of my group it is inconceivable for us to support Mr Jarzembowski’s proposals."@en1
