I would like the English equivalent of:
Estas cosas hacen que la interoperabilidad de los sistemas ferroviarios europeos sea imposible en la práctica.
Para que el mercado interno único sea una realidad auténtica en lo que concierne a los trenes, es imprescindible armonizar y estandarizar los ferrocarriles lo antes posible.
Señor Presidente, la mayoría de las inversiones en infraestructuras en la UE se han hecho en el ámbito nacional. Esto ha implicado que muchas cosas funcionen bien en nuestros países.
Sin embargo, en cuanto se traspasa una frontera se notan las deficiencias.
A pesar de que se han hecho muchos intentos para resolver los problemas, por ejemplo, en el seno de la Unión Ferroviaria Internacional, lo que he dicho puede ser aplicado a lo que se discute esta tarde, es decir, a la red ferroviaria europea.
En tanto sigan existiendo esas barreras, habrá claras limitaciones de, al menos, dos tipos. Por una parte, se deterioran las condiciones para la competencia de Europa con otros mercados en los que esos problemas tal vez ya han sido resueltos y, por otra, se empeoran las condiciones de competencia de los ferrocarriles en relación con otros medios de transporte.
No cabe duda de que los ferrocarriles han sido y serán los grandes perdedores en los próximos decenios. Después de haber tenido durante más de treinta años una proporción equivalente al veinte por ciento del mercado de transporte de mercancías en la actual UE, hoy no alcanza al diez por ciento. Simultáneamente, la proporción de mercado del transporte de pasajeros se ha reducido a la mitad.
No es posible obligar a las personas ni a las mercancías para que utilicen los ferrocarriles.
Éste podría llegar a ser un ganador en el mercado si fuese eficaz y pudiese desarrollarse por sus propios medios.

This makes the interoperability of the European rail systems almost impossible in practice. What we need are harmonisation and standardisation as soon as possible, if we want to create a true internal market for rail systems. Mr President, the vast majority of investments that have been made in the EU' s infrastructure have been made at national level.
As a result, a lot of things work well within our countries. However, the deficiencies become apparent as soon as it is a question of crossing a border. In spite of the fact that there have been several attempts to solve the problems, partly within the International Railway Union, this is especially the case in the area we are discussing here this evening, namely that of Europe' s railway networks.
As long as we have obstacles of this kind, there will also be clear limitations of at least two different kinds. Firstly, there will be a deterioration in the prior conditions of Europe' s being able to compete with other markets where these problems have perhaps already been solved. Secondly, there will be a deterioration in the prior conditions of the railways' being able to compete with other types of transport.
There is no doubt that the railways have been the big losers in recent decades, and remain so.
From a position, thirty years ago, when it had a more than twenty per cent share of the goods transport market in the EU, the railways are now down to having a share of less than ten per cent.
At the same time, the market share for passenger transport has almost halved. It is just not an option to force goods or passengers back onto the railways. The railways will become winners in the market if they become efficient and are given the opportunity to develop by their own efforts.
