"This directive is yet another episode in the ongoing attack on public rail transport services. The intention is clear: to privatise the profitable areas and leave to the state areas that require significant finance, like building and maintaining infrastructure. The proposed fragmentation is tailored to the sector’s multinationals, which are taking over railway transport and colonising related service markets in various countries. Those who today endorsed this directive will tomorrow be answerable to the workers who lose their jobs, and to those whose working conditions will be downgraded, wages reduced and working hours increased. They will also be responsible for populations deprived of services considered less lucrative, who will pay more for a service of poorer quality. Finally, they will have to respond to worrying threats to the safety of rail travel, because this directive requires the safety standards set out by national authorities to be subject to competition rules."@en1
