"Mr President, the debate on creating a single European railway area is gradually nearing its conclusion. Despite this, I would like to draw attention to a few problem areas.
I firmly believe that the proposed application of the principle of internalising external costs will lead to an unnecessary increase in the regulatory burden. The same applies to the proposal for noise charging, although it would be voluntary. In the case of the European Train Control System, I am sceptical about the measures to compensate railway undertakings for fitting their railway vehicles with the most advanced and costly equipment, although they are not able – through no fault of their own – to make proper use of it. In my opinion, the enterprises should actually be able to use the benefits only in relation to tracks on which these systems have already been installed, otherwise we are creating a virtual reality.
Last but not least, I have serious doubts as to the compromise regarding the possible creation of a European regulatory body. I am against such a large transfer of powers on the regulation and monitoring of competition in the rail sector to one regulatory body."@en1
