lpv:spoken text	"As they deal with the same subject, the following questions will be taken together: Does this problem arise at present, for example for intercity railway traffic on the Liège-Aachen line? What lessons should we perhaps learn here with regard to the liberalisation of the railways in Europe? Question 35 by Frieda Brepoels () Can the Commission demonstrate whether liberalisation has affected safety? In June 2008, the Commission sent Belgium a reasoned opinion formally criticising the complex three-part structure of Belgian Railways. Have the requisite measures since been taken in response to the objections raised by the Commission? How? Since when has the European ERTMS standard been available? Did any delay occur in comparison with the scheduled date of introduction? If so, what were the causes of this delay and what remedial action has the Commission taken? Did the debate on the European standard prevent the railways from introducing a system of their own to guarantee safety on domestic routes? Since when have the specifications for such national systems been available? In how many of the EU-27 countries does a national system already exist, and since when has it done so? Which countries score best? What is Belgium’s position in relation to the EU-27 regarding safety of the railway network? Question 34 by Ivo Belet () The serious railway accident in Buizingen, Belgium, on 15 February 2010, is being blamed on the absence of an electronic safety system which automatically applies trains’ brakes if they pass a red light. In addition to the national automatic train protection (ATP) systems, which have existed for years in some Member States, work is proceeding apace on the introduction of ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System) in Europe. To what extent and for how long have the various Member States been equipping their railway lines and trains with national ATP systems? What is the state of play with the introduction of ERTMS in the various Member States (both on trains and on railway lines)? In the case of Member States which do not yet have national train protection systems, is it still worthwhile to invest in them, in view of the ongoing introduction of ERTMS and the major investment involved in a changeover? How is the danger averted that railway infrastructure may be equipped with ERTMS but the trains may not, or vice versa?"@en1
