(7) While tThe share of passenger rail in the Union land transport has only slightly increased since 2007, the share of freight has decreased. Many obstacles remain to achieve a true Single European Rail Area, including in respect of the need to minimise noise. These obstacles need to be identified and overcome. Overcoming these obstacles together with cost reduction and accelerated innovation will allow rail to realise its full potential.
