". A glance through the demands set by the European Employers’ Confederation (UNICE) on the liberalisation of passenger rail transport (press release, 21 January 2005) reveals the reason behind the position that has been taken by the majority in this Chamber. Despite welcoming the Commission’s proposals on the new wave of rail transport liberalisation, UNICE is calling for more, and faster. It is calling for the ‘opening up of the markets’ throughout the passenger rail transport sector, and not only international transport, as the Commission’s proposal had envisaged for this stage. UNICE also highlighted the position previously adopted by the majority in Parliament to open up passenger rail transport as early as 2008. Yet again, the majority in Parliament (and that includes the votes of MEPs from Portugal’s Social Democrats, People’s Party and Socialist Party) is pandering to the demands of Europe’s captains of industry, by approving the liberalisation of international passenger transport in 2008, and national passenger transport in 2012. What is more, Member States can even bring these dates forward. Accordingly, we are extremely disappointed that our proposal to block this fresh step in the liberalisation of rail transport was rejected, and will continue to strive to defend public rail transport services and the working conditions of employees in the sector."@en1
