"Mr President, we shall be voting tomorrow and we will support this strategic direction for the future of transport; however, we already have some pieces of legislation on the table. I congratulate the rapporteur, who, in just three months, has succeeded in compiling an important document mapping out directions for the near future.
I wish to recall the following key points: the creation of a true single market in all areas of transportation, as administrative and technical barriers discourage competition by preventing a lowering of the costs of transport services. I am obviously referring to the railway sector, the situation of which is unacceptable 25 years after the adoption of the Single European Act. The list of barriers hindering this sector is a luxury we cannot afford at a time when the market represents our way out of the difficult situation and the means of reviving our economy. In particular, I am thinking of the opening up of national passenger transport markets, the creation of a European regulator and implementation of Railway Traffic Management System (RTMS) technology throughout the entire Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T).
Infrastructure has been mentioned – cross-border systems in particular – and, of course, the linking of the last mile between transport hubs and axes. The funding of infrastructure is unthinkable because with the money assigned to the budget, we can only achieve what has been planned, that is, small infrastructure projects, having real project bonds issued and going beyond the current guarantee schemes, which are useful, however, during this time of crisis.
The Project Bond dossier that we have available is related to these guarantees, but we want to go beyond road safety as we have to consider all aspects of the problem: drivers, vehicles, infrastructure and their interaction.
Finally, the Single European Sky ATM Research programme (SESAR), the technological pillar of the Single European Sky, will have to be completed, but we must simultaneously work on a single governance structure.
The Commissioner has assured us that next year, there will be some ambitious proposals. We certainly look forward to that."@en1
