"Mr President, Commissioner, if we truly want to improve the environment and allow railways to take the pressure off our over-congested European roads, I believe we should pursue three objectives. Firstly, those responsible for managing the infrastructure and charged with ensuring good use of the latter must be completely separate from and independent of service operators and users. Secondly, the railways must be integrated with other forms of transport to achieve a genuine door to door service. Thirdly, just as there are toll-free motorways so certain sections of the railway track must be free of charge. The cost of transporting a tonne of goods should not be prohibitive. Furthermore, if we really want to change the present situation, free up our roads and achieve genuine environmental improvements, the cost has to favour the railway."@en1
