The current proposal forms part of a package (along with the proposals for directives on interoperability and the European Railway Agency) that seeks ‘the facilitation of the free movement of locomotives across the EU’, as part of the liberalisation of railway transport in the EU.
Before any other considerations, we must therefore emphasise that this directive’s main objective is to eliminate any obstacle to the liberalisation of railway transport by harmonising railway safety legislation in each country.
There is no doubt that the most advanced standards regulating railway safety in each country must be adopted and applied. However, we should remember that the liberalisation and privatisation of the railways was called into question in some countries, for example the United Kingdom, after a deterioration in services and other serious developments led to a rethink of the attack on this public service.
I stress that the harmonisation of railway safety legislation at the community level must never threaten the most advanced laws established in each country, nor should it remove each country's right to keep such laws."@en1
