"I should like to offer my congratulations on the excellent work carried out by Ms Serracchiani. The railway system has to catch up with other modes of transport. At present rail freight has an EU market share of no more than 7%, and passenger services have just 11-12%.
In order to establish a single European railway area we need to tighten the rules on fair competition, particularly with regard to cross-border routes. I believe that every Member State should guarantee the independence and impartiality of the national regulatory body in order to eliminate discriminatory competitive fare and platform assignment practices and allow access to related services (such as ticket sales, repairs and maintenance facilities, stations, shunting stations and so on). Furthermore, I call on the European Commission to present a legislative proposal by the end of 2012 on the total separation of the management of infrastructures and transport services, as well as the opening up of national passenger railway markets to free competition."@en1
