lpv:translated text	"− The first railway package approved in 2001 was an attempt, unfortunately disregarded, to stop the decline of railway transport. The entire system has been unable to catch up with other modes of transport, such as road transport, as shown by the figures. Between 1996 and 2008, rail freight transport fell by around 2% to 10.8%, whereas road freight transport increased from 42.1% to 45.9%. There are various reasons for this. Transnational rail services encounter numerous technical, legal and political obstacles, unlike road services. Then there is a lack of investment in railway infrastructure by Member States, whereas they have given maximum support to road infrastructure. The railway system needs to be strongly supported, also in light of the EU’s goal’s to reduce CO emissions, as it still holds considerable potential for growth, whereas road transport shows more and more signs of over-saturation. The report therefore has the merit of promoting a comprehensive and integrated European railway area. For these reasons, I voted in favour."@en1
