The results of the conciliations on this second railway package are, quite simply, unacceptable, as they are contrary to the interests of rail users, railwaymen and safety.
The creation of a European Railway Agency and the interoperability measures unfortunately do not reverse the liberal tendency. The amendment of Directive 91/440 increases even more the liberalisation of rail transport. International freight services will be handed over to the market on 1 January 2006, and national freight services on 1 January 2007. In addition, the date of 2010 has been clearly announced for the liberalisation of passenger transport services, ‘objectives allowing all operators to prepare in an appropriate manner’.
We cannot approve such relentlessness and we express our most vehement concerns regarding the future third railway package. How many disasters and problems do there need to be before we finally abandon this frantic race towards liberalisation?
As far as we are concerned, this sector is common property and must continue to be owned by the community. Rail transport must remain a public service, extended to the European continent, modernised and placed under the democratic control of the people. In rejecting these results, this is the perspective that we mean to stand up for, together with our citizens, the railwaymen and their trade unions."@en1
