lpv:translated text	"Madam President, in the countries of the ‘old’ EU, rail transport is losing ground to road transport. This has been happening for some decades. In 1970 railways carried almost 20% of all freight, while in 2003 this figure was down to just 7.5%. We should take advantage of the positive features of rail transport, which is a very eco-friendly form of transport. Growth in the use of railways could help to ease congestion on roads, especially during summer months. The proposed updating of the law will help to make trade more efficient in the EU. It will remove barriers to the creation of new rail freight companies. In addition, it removes the requirement to have locomotives certified in every Member State and simplifies procedures as regards existing rolling stock."@en1
