Key success factors / Barriers for success Quality Productivity Efficiency Rail Market Opening Tender Modern Rail Infrastructure Fair Co-modality 7
Rail market opening: Freight railway undertakings liberalization effects (situation 2015) FNC ITL R4C Veolia PCC EWS ECR Med-Trans ERS MAV TX DLC 8
Rail market Opening Railway must remain competitive Intermodal cluster Novara/Gallarate: 3.000 places of work Combined traffic: Preservation of local trucking Ensure competitiveness of the railways: Simplification of homologation procedures? Safety certificates? Common maintenance criteria? Simplified customs procedures? Only one train driver? Constant increase of infrastructure and energy costs 9

Fair co-modality: Modes of Transport to Level the Playing Field Road Privately-owned companies Governance Rail Mostly state-owned railway companies Europe-wide harmonised transport system (drivers licence) Interoperability 100% free access Infrastructure Free access Predominance of national safety regulations on ECTS, maintenance, engine drivers licence Different criteria in every country Clearly focused on freight traffic Strategy Future?? Conflict between passenger and freight traffic EU s goal for rail: 30% in 2030, 50% in 2050 14

Interventions to allow break even even on short/middle haul trains From 25 national safety agencies to 1 European Railway agency EU fixes time frame to introduce the agreed measures Pilot projects on EU freight corridors Redirect Marco Polo or similar funds into liberalisation steps Free access to shunting yards Fair discount system for energy costs Lower administrative barriers Fair und harmonised access fees Rule infrastructure more respectfull of market & operations Enormous cost-saving potential Define penalties or lower access fees for not complying contries Accelerate cross border agreement, cross acceptance, e.g.: ECTS Clear focus on liberalisation as main driving force Precondition for single wagon loads Balance of conditions for incumbents vs. new entrants NO to new customs code across CH Solve conflict passenger vs. cargo Different approach on costs generated by the infrastructure 21
