• Insufficient growth of rail markets

• Poor consumer satisfaction

• Fragmentation of rail markets and diversity of national standards

• Low profitability due to product customisation, capital-intensity of investments, long product lifecycles, and long and costly authorisation procedures

• Reliance on public subsidies

• Increasing global competition in the rail industry

• Technical know-how in decline with 30% of sector workforce retiring within next 10 years

Key challenges of the rail sector

Source: EC presentation, Council Land Transport Working Party, 01.2014

Background of EU PolicyWhite paper 2011 – 4th RP – Single European Railway Area

Transport White Paper 2011

• Optimising the performance of multimodal logistic chains, including by making greateruse of more energy-efficient modes.

• 30% of road freight over 300 km should shift to other modes such as rail or waterborne transport by 2030, and more than 50% by 2050, facilitated by efficient and green freight corridors. To meet this goal will also require appropriate infrastructure to be developed.

• Set up a fully functional and EU-wide multimodal TEN-T ‘core network’ by 2030, with a high quality and capacity network by 2050 and a corresponding set of information services.

• By 2050: Ensure that all core seaports are sufficiently connected to the rail freight and, where possible, inland waterway system.

DIR 2012/34/EC:

(1) strengthening the power of national regulators

(2) improving the framework for investment in rail

(3) ensuring fair access to rail infrastructure and rail related services

The 4th RP – technical pillar brings by substantial reforms: Shift of technical and safety rule-making from the national to the EU level (& reduction of national rules); Issuing of safety certificates and vehicle authorisations by the ERA; Fees and charges levied by the ERA on applicants for its certification, authorisation and approval activities; Creation of new tools and processes by the ERA (IT portal, board of appeal, pool of experts, etc.).

TC GCU: next Joint Committee meeting 12.06.2018

Review main activities Topical Committeesnon-exhaustive lists

TEN-T/CEF are important step in the right direction, but more financial efforts are needed at national level (e.g. lower infrastructure charges & predictability of available funding)

Rail Freight Corridors are key but they need to be implemented in an harmonised manner

Implementation of the Technical Pillar of the 4RP

Digitalisation and automatization of operations/processes

Simplification and harmonisation of technical and operational rules

Sector priorities and common objectives within the actual legislative framework

reduce conflicts between regulatory approaches

+closer cooperation with all stakeholders

________________________________________competitive rail freight services

Liberalisation remains the best mean to provide better quality of services through competition but a competitive Single Railway Area needs more than structural changes
