European Parliament's amendments improving services for rail passengers with reduced mobility
27 February 2007
Answered in Dáil

To ask the Minister for Transport further to the European Parliament's second reading vote of 18 January 2007 on the draft EC regulation on rail passenger rights, if he will support the European Parliament's amendments, particularly those applying the provisions of the draft regulation to all rail services and improving services for rail passengers with reduced mobility.

Answered by the Minister for Transport
(Martin Cullen TD)

The European Council of Transport, Telecommunications and Energy Ministers adopted a common position in relation to an EC Regulation on International Rail Passenger Rights and Obligations on 14 July 2006 based on a proposal presented by the European Commission in March 2004, as part of the Third Railway Package. Ireland supported the adoption of that common position.

The European Parliament has submitted a range of proposed amendments to the common position. Those amendments are currently being considered by the Council's Working party on Land Transport and insofar as the proposals regarding improving services for rail passengers with reduced mobility are concerned, I can support the European Parliament's amendments in that regard.
