"The creation of a single European railway area as expressed in the objectives of the 2011 White Paper on Transport requires the harmonisation of national regulations, in order to make the sector highly competitive in relation to other modes of transport. The implementation of the first rail package did not meet the proposed objectives and the text’s lack of clarity gave rise to several interpretations and, consequently, infringement proceedings against Member States. In order for the sector to be revitalised, there is a need for clearer, integrated legislation through standardisation of technical and legal regulations and establishment of the conditions needed to make the sector more competitive. The main points of the report are the liberalisation of the national passenger market, the reinforcement of national regulatory bodies’ independence and powers, the internalisation of external costs, funding issues, working conditions, and safety rules. The creation of a European regulatory body will be the next step. In addition, by the end of 2012 the Commission will table two legislative proposals on the vertical separation of the infrastructure manager from the service provider, and on opening a more transparent, fairer and non-discriminatory railway market, so preventing distortions in the sector."@en1
