lpv:translated text	"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, as a German MEP, I strongly condemn Germany’s veto on the internalisation of external costs with the ‘eurovignette’ and on the extension to all lorries weighing 3.5 tonnes or more. It harms the railways, which cannot withstand the unfair competition between rail and road, and whose market share, according to the McKinsey study, will fall from 14% today to 9% if the privileges of the roads are not dismantled. The German right-left coalition government has pushed through huge loopholes enabling each Member State to charge the toll only on 12-tonne lorries, which make up only 10% of such vehicles. The railways will be decisively weakened as a result, because in Germany there is a railway toll for all trains on all tracks in the form of train-path prices. On the roads, this applies only to lorries weighing 12 tonnes or more, and that only on the motorways. Unfair competition is not being ended, but reinforced. Neither Germany nor Europe will achieve the Kyoto objectives like this. The German blockade renders the shift from road to rail impossible. This directive means that there is no future for the European railways."@en1
