"Mr President, Ms Stassen, you said that railways are given preferential treatment. Do you know that railways have to pay for all their energy consumption, they have to pay for fuel for diesel locomotives and that air transport is exempt from this, amounting to EUR 30 billion every year? Do you know that on the railways, there is a mandatory rail toll for every locomotive for every kilometre of track that a train covers with no upper limit, whereas on the roads it is entirely up to the Member States whether any road toll is collected at all? This mostly applies only on motorways for lorries above 12 tonnes and it is also capped. Therefore, do you continue to maintain this? Who is subsidised here then? Why can pupils and students take intercity flights for the same price as a short taxi journey, but travelling by rail is two to three times more expensive, and the state pockets the VAT to boot? Could you say something about this and still maintain your assertion?"@en1
