Transport is an essential sector of undeniable strategic importance for sustainable development and for economic and social cohesion throughout the Union because it transcends the economic and union interests of the sector and its quality affects the entire Community.
We fully support the railways within the Union’s transport system and call for top priority to be given to urgent changes to the terms governing its expansion, nature and adjustment to market conditions. We advocate the responsible liberalisation of European railway management.
We support the institutionalisation of a European Transport Fund.
