Don't strangle investment

摘要

As the reconstituted European Parliament gets down to business following this year's elections and European Commission President-elect Jean-Claude Juncker sets out his team to take over next month, discussions are hotting up in Brussels over unfinished business, including the Fourth Railway Package. The technical pillar covering safety and interoperability has largely been agreed and is awaiting the 'trialogue' process to thrash out a common position from the Commission's proposals and the amendments adopted by the Parliament and the Council of Ministers. However, the market pillar covering governance and liberalisation remains a source of controversy.
