The European Parliament voted on the 18 January 2007 at the second reading on the 'third rail package' - three separate reports on opening up rail networks to competition, minimum rights for passengers and a European licence for train drivers. Competition will now be introduced for international rail services but not for domestic railways. On other issues, large differences remain between the EP and the Council, and this legislation is now expected to go to conciliation.
