"Mr President, I would like to thank Mr Jarzembowski for his work in preparing a text for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council amending the Directive on the development of the Community’s railways and on the allocation of railway infrastructure capacity and the levying of charges. The text of the directive was agreed through the conciliation procedure. This directive will be important for the continuing development of the Community’s railways, for passengers and for freight traffic.
The railways, which are already two centuries old, are becoming more important in today’s world because of environmental protection as well as congestion on the roads. The problems as regards developing rail transport will be funds for modernisation and for constructing and equipping new networks. In order to achieve harmonious growth, poor countries will need considerable financial support. The text that has been agreed for the new directive will have a positive impact on further growth in the railways.
Mr Savary’s report on the rights of train drivers and Mr Sterckx’s report on rights and obligations cover further issues relating to railway transport. I would like to congratulate them on their work."@en1
