Text tabled : A7-0196/2012

  Zigmantas Balčytis (S&D), in writing. (LT) I voted in favour of this report. In order to boost investment in the rail sector, there need to be long-term strategies and multiannual contractual agreements between the state and infrastructure managers so that it is easier for market players to predict how infrastructure will be developed. To attract investments in greener technologies, new charging rules need to be applied and charges need to be differentiated according to the noise emission characteristics of the train for European Train Control System-equipped trains. I agree that we should extend the competence of national regulators, strengthen their powers in areas such as sanctions, audits and investigations carried out on the institution’s initiative, and ensure their independence from other public authorities. It is also important to enhance competition in the rail market through more transparent market access conditions and by providing easier access. I agree with the proposals set out that there should be improved access to services such as maintenance facilities, terminals, passenger information and ticketing facilities, etc., and that explicit rules on conflicts of interest and discriminatory practices should be established.
