1.1. At European levelAt European level Enlargement to take place on 1/05/2004 - Accession Treaties concluded
in April 2003. Successful referenda
Second package: EP 1st reading on 14 January 2003; common position of Council 26 June; EP second reading on 22 October 03
New Commission proposals under preparation
Competition rules (abuse of dominant position, restrictive agreements, state aids)
Revision of TEN guidelines and priority projects and revision of TEN financial regulation (proposal 1st October 2003)
Preparation of EU financial perspectives 2007-2013

2.2. At national levelAt national level
Implementation of infrastructure package of 2001 by 15 March 2003
Open access already in D-I-UK-NL-Nordic countries but some more legal work needed in D-UK-S.
Open access still to be concretised in B - F – L -SP particularly Infringement procedures against 9 countries before the European
Court of Justice Real challenges : setting the various bodies such as regulatory body,
independence of allocation body and definition of TERFN.
Interoperability ERTMS deployment plan and migration strategy

State of PlayState of Play
3.3. The playersThe players Infrastructure managers : to prepare network statement and clear
conditions for access (cfr. Rail Net Europe)
Railway undertakings :
Historic operators seeking alliances between them or with new entrants to facilitate cross border freight operations (eg. Mannheim-Woippy, Brenner Rail Cargo)
New entrants ( DLC, Rail4Chem, RTC, etc) challenging historic operators on some corridors (North-South, Brenner, etc.)
Improvement of services to be expected soon and better competitiveness against road
32Directorate-General for Energy and Transport 07/11/2003
State of PlayState of Play
Customers Organize themselves to express their needs
European Rail Freight Customers Platform
European Passengers Federation
Supplying industry Main driver of standardisation activity
Offers more interoperable equipments (eg. Multi current loc, ERTMS, etc) at reduced costs
33Directorate-General for Energy and Transport 07/11/2003
ConclusionsConclusions
European Regulatory framework under way : there is a clear vision of all the aspects
A lot of work still to be done Urgent need of the agency on interoperability and safety Addressing all types of bottlenecks (short and long term actions
needed) Promoting a dedicated rail freight network European ERTMS deployment plan for mid 2004
Investments on infrastructure and rolling stock, particularly in accession countries
