lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to start by congratulating Debora Serracchiani and all my colleagues and the shadow rapporteurs. We can accept that we have compromised during the negotiations and succeeded in attaining a reasonable compromise on several elements: separate accounting for railway undertakings and rail network managers; non-discriminatory access to rail paths and service facilities; transparent pricing, as well as strengthening the independent national rail regulators. With this new directive, it is considered that railway operators across Europe will be able to enjoy improvements and benefit from fairer competition. Unfortunately, this will not be the case in some railway markets, particularly those with different gauges in the Baltic States and Finland. This market is dominated by profitable freight transport. In reality, it is not an internal EU market, but a market with third countries. This legislation and the deal we agreed on during the negotiations means that we will open up only the EU part of the market, without getting a reciprocity approach in relation to third-country markets. To be honest, I would have never imagined that, for instance, the Russian Duma would open their railway market and not ask for reciprocity with the markets in other countries at the same time. That is why I really regret that the safeguard clause in the initial Commission proposal and Parliament’s first reading was rejected by the Council. At the same time, a deal is a deal and, if tomorrow we vote on some particular amendments for some very special lines for a very special state, I think we will make a wrong choice. If we do this, it means that we can legislate on whether the size of the country matters in this House."@en1
