"Mr President, I second the opinions of my fellow Members who spoke before me. I, too, wish to congratulate Ms Serracchiani, as well as the shadow rapporteurs, and, in particular, my colleague from the Group of the European People’s Party, Mr Kuhn. He has done an incredible job.
This process is an excellent illustration of the role of the European Parliament because it gives us a very good opportunity to represent citizens’ interests, along with the interests of the various countries, including Hungary. What is all of this about? What is it that I wish to highlight? With this compromise that we managed to achieve, Hungary is granted exemption in connection with a very important issue, an issue of derogation, no less. The single European Train Control System will not need to be installed on trains that were manufactured prior to 1985. The value of the engines of these trains is almost zero, and installing this system would cost far more than the actual operation of the vehicle. This compromise thus allows us to make good use of rational solutions and to allocate these sums to cover the costs of future purchases of new equipment and environmentally friendly engines instead.
I would like to thank you all for letting reason triumph, and I wish Ms Serracchiani all the best for her future work."@en1
