". Mr. President, dear colleagues, first of all, I would like to congratulate the Rapporteur for his work. Taking into account the recent rail accidents, I would also like to emphasize the importance of the safety of Community railways. I hope the new regulations for the operation of the European Railway Agency shall bring more benefits to the consumer and simplify the procedures relating to the authorization of vehicles. I would like us to make sure that there is a well-defined entity that is responsible for the safety and maintenance of each vehicle and that we know who this entity is at every moment. This authority should make sure that consumer rights are complied with in every Member State and also that compensations are awarded to passengers in compliance with the European legislation. At the same time, the agency should take into consideration travel conditions, comfort and safety, as well as keeping tariffs at the same level. It should also take into consideration opportunities and price reductions for young people and students, as well as disadvantaged categories. Hoping that the European consumers’ wishes shall be implemented through the work of the European Railway Agency, we shall provide it with all necessary support for its operation."@en1
