Paragraph 2
2. Takes the view that only by using an interoperable transport system will it be possible in future to combine most successfully the use of various transport modes and improve energy savings; stresses, in this regard, the importance of internalising the external costs of promoting stronger, high-quality public transport networks at prices that are affordable for the general population, in order to restore balance in the use of the various transport modes and to promote, where possible and necessary, the use of less polluting modes of transport;

Paragraph 2 a (new)
2a. Recognises the importance of the public sector in improving public access to less polluting public transport services, in developing basic economic sectors, particularly the energy sector, in industry and tourism, in promoting economic, social and regional cohesion, and in strengthening the state's role in market regulation, participation and intervention in cooperation with users' organisations, taking the lead in supplying services of general interest; stresses that, in most cases, public-private partnerships in this sector serve only to make business easier for economic groups and provide cover for privatisations that harm the interests of the public and of public transport service users;
