Domestic passenger transport services by rail (A8-0373/2016 - Wim van de Camp)

  Jane Collins and Mike Hookem (EFDD), in writing. – UKIP voted to reject the proposals at second reading on the Fourth Railway Package because this would inevitably lead to the UK Government and the government of Member States having their hands tied with regards to the awarding of competitive tenders. It is not for the EU to determine what may be constituted as competitive in a Member State without fully understanding the economic climate of that Member State and what implications any restriction or forced competitive process may have.
