Worth remembering, as well is Goal of EU membership: reinforcing edge towards competition from far away, low salary, etc. manufactured.

Goal of EU calls for a top modern infrastructure! (Extras on clients of road transports, excused by short comings of railways…, is contra productive!)
Current railway standards, timely, when steam was shifted out are “cementing” and now has to be outed, etc.!
