"I voted in favour of this proposal, which is important for the whole rail system in Europe. When debating this issue, I have constantly stressed the need to evaluate the specific characteristics of the Baltic States, where railways not only have a broader track guage than in the majority of European Union Member States but are also technologically and commercially integrated into the rail networks of third countries. This was reflected in the amendments I tabled. I am pleased that the rapporteur and other MEPs have listened attentively to the differences that exist in the Baltic States and have made an appropriate exception in Parliament’s draft report. Parliament has approved the compromise amendment to the report as regards infrastructure charges, including an amendment regarding the possibility of setting higher charges for the carriage of goods to third countries, which is very important for the Baltic States. This will ensure that the Baltic States do not have to subsidise the carriage by rail of goods from third countries and that all costs incurred by rail infrastructure managers are covered when providing carriage services."@en1
