lpv:translated text	"The legislative proceedings and implementation of the first railway package have now taken over ten years. The first railway package directive was adopted in 2001 and contained three directives on the development of the EU’s railways, the licensing of railway enterprises and the distribution of railway infrastructure capacity, the implementation of railway infrastructure usage charges and the granting of safety certificates. The objective was to revitalise the rail sector by taking a first step towards the creation of a single trans-European rail network, and by making provision for the reliable financial structure required for that purpose. The directives of the first railway package were to be introduced into the law of the Member States on 15 March 2003, but the Commission postponed initiating infringement proceedings against Member States for the improper or incomplete implementation of the first railway package until 2008. Infringement proceedings were initiated against 22 Member States, which shows that the creation of a single European railway area is still a long way off. One of the most important issues, which will hopefully be resolved in this package, is the issue of access to and usage charges for infrastructure. In this area, what is important to Estonia is Article 32 of the common position of the Council and Parliament, which permits Member States that use infrastructure with different track widths, and in which third country goods are transported, to set higher infrastructure usage charges. This enables Member States to free themselves of the requirement to subsidise third countries’ freight transport. Another significant item is the opening of the market to enable different operator companies to enter the markets of various Member States, and they must be guaranteed equal treatment in the area of both infrastructure usage charges and times, as well as access to desired services."@en1
