European Parliament
Michał Tomasz Kamiński  (ECR ),
in writing.
– I am disappointed that the Parliament has rejected Amendment 12 (Article 2 – paragraph 2a (new)). Although this amendment had initially been supported by the EP, it was dropped in the trialogue. This may have negative consequences for the Polish LHS (Linia Hutnicza Szerokotorowa). This paragraph would have allowed the exemption of the LHS from certain provisions of the directive. The LHS operates a 400-kilometre long broad-gauge railway from the terminal in Sławków in Silesia to the Polish-Ukrainian border. Without this amendment, the directive may be detrimental to the line’s operations. This issue cannot be ignored in the new directive.
