2 Trends & Facts ƒ Further liberalization in the EU is to be expected ƒ Political ambition to double public transport ƒ Rail is important for every society, but in isolation not a good business case ƒ Network- and scale economies are important ƒ Competition is mainly between state owned operators

3 Further liberalization in the EU is to be expected ƒ EU-legislation is shaping the liberalisation of the EU rail sector ƒ Level of implementation varies

4 EU-regulations are shaping the liberalization of the rail sector ? Directive 91/440/EØF ƒinfrastructure access Directives 95/18/EF og 95/19/EF ƒlicences ƒinfrastructure fees Railway package 1 (infrastructure) ƒ Liberalization of freight (2007) Railway package e 2 ƒcommon access to rail safety Revision (recast) of Railway package 1 ƒfree infrastructure and services ƒratification by mid 2015 TSI requirements ƒinteroperability for changes to existing or procurement of new rolling stock Directive 96/48/EF ƒsafety regulations Railway package 3 ƒliberalization of international passangertraffic and cabotage (2010) Regulation 1370/2007 (PSO regulation) ƒdefinition of financing of rail passenger transport (2009) Railway package 4 ƒoptions for competition on urban and regionaltraffic ƒ ƒ Separate budgets, accounts and asset ownership Separate accounts for infrastructureprovides and rail operators ƒ ƒ Access to transeuropean rail network Complete access to the freightmarket ƒ Cross borders offerings liberalized since January 2010 ƒ ƒ Regulation simplification and free access to transeuropean railnetwork Higher level of unified demands to rolling stock to ensure international competition and interoperability ƒ Liberalization to also include national passenger traffic Soruce: AT Kearney; EU Commission; DSB; BCG

6 Political ambition to double public transport ƒ Robust customer growth in the rail sector is expected and is supported by significant infrastructure investments ƒ Public transport will cater for main part of the future growth in traffic

7 Rail operation is important for every society, but seen in isolation not a good business case ƒ Rail operations are dependant on government subsidies and is in most cases a natural monopoly ƒ Denmark is only large enough to attract competition for the tracks, not on the tracks ƒ Cherry picking is easy, but a minimum of service is required and unprofitable routes also needs to be serviced
