lpv:translated text	". With this rail package the European Commission is proposing a new version of Directive 91/440, which seeks to increase the liberalisation of rail services, in particular for freight. The amendments of the Committee on Regional Policy, Transport and Tourism broadened its scope to include the liberalisation of passenger services as well. I will vote against both these measures. We should ask why we are speeding up the liberalisation process when the 1991 directive has only just been revised. We should ask why we are reconsidering an agreement, a balanced agreement, reached with some difficulty just over a year ago. The Member States have not even finished the transposition of the revised directive of 2001. This means that we are moving ahead with liberalisation, with no going back, before we have even assessed the effects of the beginning of the process. It is simplistic to assert that the main reason why rail has become less competitive than road transport for freight is because the sector has not been liberalised. We did not have to liberalise rail passenger services to achieve cooperation between national operators in the case of Thalys. What works for passenger services could be applied to and developed for freight services. The will must be there though, and European and national investment at the ready. Let us go for rail rather than for lorries!"@en1
