"I voted against the report because I disagree totally with the attempt by the European Council and all the political groups in the European Parliament, with the exception of the Confederal Group of the European United Left – Nordic Green Left, to privatise the European railways. I categorically disagree with parameters that create a framework for redundancies and for private companies to assume responsibility for the safety and maintenance of the railways. The privatisation process, especially a process moving in a common European direction, will deprive the Member States of the potential to rationalise, modernise and upgrade public rail networks, so as to improve services to the public and increase public revenue. The complete liberalisation of the railways, especially under the indirect guidance of the European institutions, will do nothing to ensure that they are upgraded. On the contrary, competition between private undertakings will increase the risks still further and, ultimately, society itself will pay the cost of any malfunctions."@en1
