Translate the following English sentence to French:
"Well, due to a lack of competition as a result of excessively protectionist behaviour on the part of the Member States - and I am not ashamed to admit this - the train has been condemned to a second-class position even in this century, also in terms of technology and even durability, which certain Members have emphasised."
Eh bien, à cause du manque de concurrence, disons plutôt de l' attitude éminemment protectionniste des États membres, le train reste encore condamné à une position de second ordre, notamment du point de vue technologique. Même du point de vue de la longévité, sur laquelle insistent certains collègues, le train n' est pas durable.
