"A solution for an efficient and less polluting Community energy transport is the development of modern railway transport, both for passengers and for merchandise. Regarding the Railway Safety Directive, I consider it necessary to exempt heritage, museum and tourist railways from the directive. It is also essential that all entities in charge of maintenance be certified and perform the maintenance themselves or be able to contract it with other maintenance workshops. The entity in charge of maintenance should establish, for basic components or subassemblies designed for railway systems, the basic parameters and technical characteristics regarding maintenance and logistics for meeting the requirements provided by this directive during their operation. The European Railway Agency plays an essential role in introducing the ERTMS system by 2020. In order to encourage the investments required for the interoperability of the railway transport systems in the Union, it is essential to stabilize the final version of ERTMS for a certain period. I call attention to the need to guarantee the safety of railway transport to the European citizens. I consider that both Member States and the Commission should finance more the development of the railway infrastructure and the modernization of the rolling stock. I request the Commission to provide greater support to the new Member States whose railway systems require substantial investments. The TRAN Committee has proposed the requirement to install the ERTMS gradually in the trans-European transport network (TEN-T) and the conditioning of providing European funds by the mandatory use of ERTMS."@en1
