Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the single market is without a doubt a great achievement, where and when it functions. What has been put before us as the second single market package also contains many positive proposals. However, I would like to put forward a few additions.
The first concerns transport. In the European Union we are currently creating the trans-European networks in order to build railway corridors. However, what is lacking is harmonisation of current voltages, gauges and safety devices; this is absolutely necessary if the opportunities presented by the single market for rail transport are actually to be taken up.
The second concerns rail passengers: standardised electronic ticketing should be introduced – exactly as we are familiar with for air travel.
The third concerns the sale of cars: if you buy a car and move to another country, you are faced with an expensive bureaucratic obstacle race. The same applies if you buy a used car. In this regard, I call upon the Commission to develop constructive proposals to make the single market fully operational."@en1
