"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, it is essential to halt the decline of rail transport and reform it with a particularly close eye on European citizens’ right to mobility. Passenger trains must be adapted to transport disabled persons, decent and reasonably priced. It is therefore well worth establishing minimum quality standards for train carriages, ensuring respect of timetables and connections, and allowing free competition between operators in order to keep ticket prices under control.
We need to insist on the construction of massive European infrastructures for transporting freight and passengers at high speed. Given the positive outcome of sharing the costs of building the third pass – the Rotterdam corridor – and the high-speed Turin-Lyon corridor, as well as their inclusion among the ten big projects deemed essential by the European Union, it is crucial that the works begin as soon as possible.
With regard to the mandatory separation between infrastructure managers and historic railway operators, which traditionally own the infrastructure, compensating for the costs incurred is the right thing to do."@en1
