"Mr President, I voted in favour of the proposal for a directive establishing a single European railway area. I am convinced that only by opening up the markets can we improve the quality of the offering for both passenger and freight transport on the railways of Europe. Above all, however, I am pleased that Article 32 was adopted, because rail transport also gives rise to noise. This is mainly related to the quality of the rolling stock; some completely outdated wagons are used, particularly in the freight sector. There is increasing opposition to this noise among the population, and this is likely to be putting at risk the shift in freight transport – particularly that from road to rail. Consequently, urgent measures must be taken to reduce the noise pollution. Noise must cost money, and I believe that the approach set out in Article 32 moves us in this direction. I hope that agreement can soon be reached with the Council on this matter."@en1
