"The European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS)," he continued, "which is no longer just a European but an international standard, is still struggling to spread widely, despite having achieved all the goals hoped for at this time: environmental sustainability, because it is green; social sustainability, because it brings people and goods closer together and costs less for those lagging behind in technology, and because there is less excavation work and faster implementation. It also increases GDP by focusing on infrastructure. It increases the frequency of trains on the same route with total safety, elevates the technological level, and significantly simplifies the transit of trains between countries.
"We, therefore, hope that the centrality of this programme will be reaffirmed in the inaugural speech of the future President of the European Commission," concluded Pertosa.
