Selv hvis vi skulle nå førstebehandlingen, fru kommissær, ville valget til Europa-Parlamentet, udnævnelsen af en ny Kommission og den nye lovgivningsprocedure betyde, at en lovgivningsprocedure om personbefordring kunne tage et til to år, så vi ikke ville kunne vedtage en tredje jernbanepakke før 2005.
Even if we did manage the first reading, the intervention of the European parliamentary elections, the appointment of a new Commission and the need to reactivate the legislative process would mean that it would effectively take one to two years to put through a bill on passenger transport, and so we could not adopt a third railway package before 2005.
