"The third railway package, the individual reports comprising which have little in common, is an example of a hurried, uncoordinated and therefore damaging approach to railway transportation. When the second railway package was adopted, it was clearly and unambiguously stated that the package would be evaluated as soon as possible, and only then would further measures be taken, which is why our minority view of liberalisation is negative.
I believe that the time has come to adopt a directive dealing with a harmonised locomotive operator’s licence, which is something we all agree on. The other matters are far from being as pressing as they are presented here. If, ladies and gentlemen, you want to open the railway market to competition today, it will be a harmful step. What is more, it is necessary to start to implement the CER agreement, the international association of railway infrastructure companies and the transport commissioner, as soon as possible.
Does your desire to liberalise at all costs really take priority over harmonised safety and security standards for infrastructure and rolling stock? This is something I cannot agree with, and so in this matter, with all due respect to the rapporteur, Georg Jarzembowski, I must ask you for an unambiguous ‘no’ vote. We abide by the agreements reached when adopting the second railway package, and we will strive to return to the subject by the deadline set, or in other words by 2008.
I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the railway unions of the Czech Republic and the Czech Government have asked me to lend explicit support to the Savary report, and to reject the Jarzembowski report.
In conclusion, I should like to point out that rejecting the draft Zïle report and disagreeing with the Jarzembowski report is not a good omen for the attempt to rush the packages through. The excellent proposals in the Savary report have our support. I should like to inform the Commissioner that the Sterckx and Jarzembowski reports are in no way interdependent."@en1
