"Mr President, we all know that railways are one of the most efficient, cheap and natural means of transport. I would like to concur with the previous speaker in that I do not feel that there is any benefit to be gained from liberalisation. I greatly regret that the Commission failed to support the attempts of the Bulgarian Government to retain the Bulgarian state railways, as being state-run will enable them to develop more easily. I believe that privatisation is also now being imposed on a large part of the means of transport which are deployed for the trans-European network.
However, given also that I am one of the youngest MEPs in this Parliament, I would also like to share a dream of mine with you. The majority of us Members who are here today from the farthest-flung regions of the EU have travelled 7-8 hours, including by inefficient, polluting air transport, to get here to Strasbourg to attend the sitting. My great dream is for us to look from now on into the future and see the new super-efficient technology which may be powered by renewable energy sources. I am referring to magnetic levitation technology. We should look into a future when European citizens will be able to travel safely in every direction – north, south, east and west – using highly efficient, environmentally friendly rail transport travelling at the speed provided by planes. This is my dream."@en1
