lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the third rail package agreement is another step towards selling off the people’s wealth. Public property is being sold to capital in order to multiply profits at the expense of the working classes and to increase their exploitation. The regulation of rights and obligations contained in the package is no more than sugaring the pill of passenger transport deregulation. Railway workers have expressed their vehement opposition to the deregulation of rail transport both in the two previous packages and in the present one. We, the MEPs of the Communist Party of Greece, are opposed to the selling off of the railways, especially in Greece, where rail transport is far removed from the people’s needs and in many cases continues to operate with obsolete infrastructure and equipment. We side with the workers who are fighting for the development of public transport. We need a public rail service guaranteeing safe, high-quality transport, which will both meet the current needs of workers and be environmentally-friendly. We will therefore vote against the agreement between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission. We point to the responsibility of the EU and the governments of the Member States in this anti-popular policy and in the plundering of the people’s wealth by capital."@en1
