 　　BRUSSELS, April 28 (Xinhua) -- The European Union (EU) said on Monday it welcomes Eurotunnel's announcement to cut charges imposed on rail freight operators by up to 50 percent.

　　"I welcome Eurotunnel's announcement because it should pave the way for more freight to use the Channel Tunnel and at lower prices," said Vice-President of the European Commission Siim Kallas.
　　"This is good news for Europe's businesses that rely on effective and competitively priced transport services and good news for consumers they serve," Kallas added.
　　According to an EU statement, currently only seven rail freight trains run through the tunnel each day on average, while there is 43 percent unused capacity.
　　Rail freight companies complain that excessive track access charges and other mandatory1 charges make it uneconomic to use the tunnel.
