"Ms Serracchiani has presented us with a recommendation for second reading, following the Council position at first reading with a view to the adoption of a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council which establishes a single European railway area. The construction of a single market at EU level implies a broad set of uniform standards, which often require the elimination of technical barriers, as is the case with rail infrastructure. The need to change carriages at specific borders when travelling between the Member States puts people off and is one reason why this type of transport is underused. It is therefore urgent to standardise the railway gauges of European rail networks. I welcome the fact that, after long and difficult negotiations, it has been possible to reach an agreement on the creation of a single European railway area. Rail service liberalisation will benefit European citizens and companies. I welcome the adoption of this report, as it is a proposal that enhances the functioning of the single market and will bring huge benefits for citizens and companies. Moreover, it constitutes an excellent alternative to road traffic, with huge benefits in terms of energy and the environment."@en1
