This report seeks to improve the Commission’s proposal, which, despite its name, effectively seeks to privatise passenger transport. Although important proposals have been approved, and we voted for them, the fact is that the introduction of competition may jeopardise established rights for users, such as travel passes, and for staff, something that has not been sufficiently safeguarded in this report and will certainly be even less so in Commission and Council practice. Thus, even greater obstacles to user mobility may be created, although certain proposals approved by Parliament along different lines are to be welcomed. Furthermore, there is no proper guarantee of coordination between the various means of transport, and adequate answers are not given to those users located in less profitable areas: private companies may consider them unprofitable and then cancel services there.
Lastly, the vote against the legislative resolution is also justified on account of our fears regarding the implementation of the Commission’s position and the consequences for staff and users, which may jeopardise a quality, low-price service. It should also be noted that, although the Commission is backing the privatisation of transport services, part of these services will continue to be supported by public money, which is unacceptable."@en1
