"Mr President, we can look forward to the revival of the railways as a wonderful prospect. Unfortunately, reality is still far removed from that. In order to bring the high hopes within reach, a powerful European incentive is crucial. We are therefore pleased with the progress that has been made under the supervision of Mrs Ainardi, Mr Savary, Mr Jarzembowski and Mr Sterckx. These Members of our House have each contributed to the setting up and further elaboration of a sound legal framework within which European railways can develop as competitive carriers over the coming years.
An important area of concern was passenger transport. I endorse the current insight that passenger transport is, as a market, entirely different from goods transport and the concept of one type cannot be applied seamlessly to the other. Development of this market therefore calls for a cautious approach.
The Council has spoken; Parliament has spoken, and so have I. It is now up to the industry to take up the challenge."@en1
