lpv:translated text	"Officially, it is stated that the amendments to the directive proposed by the European Commission came about in order to develop the rail sector system and establish a single transport market. However, there is concern that some of the proposed provisions may have very negative consequences or be damaging to the Lithuanian rail system. In Lithuania, as in the other Baltic States, the situation in the rail sector is specific due to rail track that does not conform to European standards, and which is largely still integrated into the market of the CIS countries. In this project being discussed, compromises that would be more favourable to Lithuania are put forward. The requirement to separate rail infrastructure from the carriage of passengers and freight, which caused most dissatisfaction, has gone. However, other requirements on guaranteeing the independence of freight terminals, stations, refuelling, route allocation, etc., remain and these cause Lithuanian rail workers just as much concern. Consequently, there may be major problems in future because guaranteeing the independence of these divisions within one undertaking will be practically impossible and then the EU may begin to demand their separation. There are also many doubts about the proposal to make it possible to impose a higher infrastructure levy for the transportation of freight from third countries. It is not clear how this provision would be implemented in practice, especially as there is no doubt that the Commission will demand that levies be reduced and the difference covered by the state budget. The European Parliament will debate the Rail Directive again in the autumn. I hope that it will be possible to find convincing arguments, which lead to wording in the directive that is favourable to Lithuania and guarantees the continued functioning of its rail system."@en1
