"The liberalisation of the transport sector and subsequent privatisation of everything that makes money, under – unproven – assumptions of improving the quality of the service, of better prices and of more jobs, has in fact meant the opposite, harming users, workers and national economies. This European transport policy will serve the interests of a few big companies and multinationals, which are looking for a transport network to suit them. Consider the enlightening example of German multinational Deutsche Bahn BA, which today controls more than 60% of Europe’s railway cargo sector. However, this certainly will not serve the interests of workers and the people, or of small and medium-sized enterprises, which are seeing transport costs rising and quality declining, as the liberalisation advocated here progresses.
The Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area is being developed around the creation of an internal European transport market by opening up networks and markets, via the so-called Single European Sky and the Union’s Emission Trading Scheme. Within this context, pious calls to the Commission to certify the non-existence of social dumping, of deteriorating quality of services, and of monopolies and oligopolies are worthless. Obviously, we voted against this report."@en1
