"The report sets out the guidelines ‘for the development of the trans-European transport network’ (TEN-T). This currently involves 30 priority projects ‘inspired mainly by national interests’ – what other interests should be taken into account, those of multinationals? – which will receive almost EUR 5.3 billion in Community cofinancing.
This report fits within the vision of ‘trans-European transport networks’ based on the expansion of the internal market and an increase in capitalist competition and concentration. It therefore ‘emphasises the need to incorporate … the objectives of the Lisbon Strategy’ and defends the adaptation of the TEN-T to ‘changing market conditions’, in line ‘with the following criteria: economic viability, enhanced competitiveness, promotion of the single market’, and developed through ‘public/private partnerships’ (for example by allocating ‘a percentage of toll revenue from road infrastructure to funding TEN-T projects’).
Just one month from the end of the current legislative term, the majority of this House cannot resist asking the European Commission ‘to propose – by the end of its mandate – a legislative initiative concerning the opening of the rail domestic passenger markets as from 1 January 2012’.
Finally, to satisfy the interests of the large economic and financial groups in terms of expanding their control towards Eastern Europe, it underlines that links between Western and Eastern Europe are a priority."@en1
