"Developing the European railway sector to the full is an essential step towards completing the single market across the continent. Maximum freedom of movement and the ability to ship goods without barriers can make the difference between an operational, expanding economic system and a chaotic one that just limps along. At the same time, this process of development needs to be guided by the same principles that regulate the single market, in other words, free competition and transparency. The measures adopted are on the right track in this respect because they aim to stimulate the provision of freight and passenger transport services and ensure fair competition. Establishing strong, independent national regulators coordinated by the European Commission so as to encourage mutual collaboration is the best way to ensure the rules are properly applied, while the requirement for railway companies and infrastructure managers to draw up separate, transparent accounts should prevent any illegal transfers of public funds between these two kinds of body. At the same time, the separation of managers’ and companies’ accounts should stimulate competition, providing the necessary balance between transparency and flexibility to ensure adequate investment."@en1
