".
An attempt is being made with the 'third railway package' to deal a final blow to rail transport in order to increase the profits of big business. Speeding up the liberalisation of the market in both international and national railway services and the full liberalisation of all passenger services will, on the one hand, increase the profits of the monopolies and, on the other hand, will deal a heavy blow to workers' rights, will increase ticket prices and freight costs and will lower safety standards, as has been the case wherever privatisation has been applied.
In order to secure the workers' consent and make it easier to sell off the wealth of the grass roots to the monopolies, the proposal is embellished with provisions about possible compensation for passengers in the event of poor services. The question is how, starting from the 'fillet', private companies will exploit the workers, the travelling public and the areas in question by bringing a basic lever of transport under their absolute control.
In the name of competitiveness, more public investment is being called for in infrastructure which will be operated by big business.
The workers will fight to overturn the anti-grass roots policy of the ΕU, for radical change and for a policy under which rail transport will be social property and will add to grass-roots prosperity."@en1
