‚Transport accessibility and connectivity in Central and Eastern Europe’ -Public hearing at the TRAN Committee – Brussels, 2 December 2014

Key challenges for rail freightA quality challenge:
Improving reliability and punctuality, i.a. through higherinteroperability
A cost challenge:Improving cost competitiveness by higher productivity and moreefficient train operations, i.a. through improved and harmonisedinfrastructure standards
A service challenge:Adding new added-value service features, allowing rail to(re-) enter into new / lost market segments
A political challenge:Securing societal and political acceptance and support of railfreight and a level playing field between modes
Expectations of customers from railwayundertakings
Role of a Rail Freight Corridor to meetcustomer expectations
- Traffic managementrules givingsufficient priority tofreight
- Information aboutthe actual positionof trains by C-OSS
- Improving short-distanceinteroperability inborder stations
- Reaching economies ofscale through betterinfrastructurestandards
- - longer trains- - higher axle-loads- - higher locomotive
utilisation
- Role of terminals andports in RFCs
- Role of operators /forwarders in RFCs
913/2010/EU
• REGULATION (EU) No 913/2010 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENTAND OF THE COUNCIL of 22 September 2010 concerning a Europeanrail network for competitive freight
1316/2013/EC
• REGULATION (EU) No 1316/2013 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THECOUNCIL of 11 December 2013 establishing the Connecting Europe Facility, amendingRegulation (EU) No 913/2010 and repealing Regulations (EC) No 680/2007 and (EC) No67/2010
1315/2013/EC
• REGULATION (EU) No 1315/2013 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OFTHE COUNCIL of 11 December 2013 on Union guidelines for the developmentof the trans-European transport network and repealing Decision No661/2010/EU
In order to revitalise the European rail freight system…
… there have been key initiatives established by legislative measures:
General objectives of the RFCs
Reinforce cooperation among RailInfrastructure Managers (and MemberStates)Improved capacity and harmonised
standard on Rail Freight CorridorsProvide rail freight services of good qualityImproved customer orientation
Core Network infrastructure requirements in thecontext of the RFC
Requirements on the Core Network (Freight) according to Art39 (2a) of Reg. 1315/2013/EC (TEN-T Guidelines) 740m train length 22,5 t axle-load 100 km/h line speed ERTMS Electrification
-> To be achieved until 2030
-> RFCs should carry out studies for theimplementation of the requirements(elegible for co-funding under the CEF)
Corridors in Central-Eastern Europe
RFC7RFC7
-> In case the adequateinfrastructure requirementswould be taken there wouldbe shift from water/road torail!
-> The weekly departures ofthe ferries. In case thebottlenecks could beremoved, all that freightwhich currently moves onferry could be transportedon rail, on RFC 7…
Success of rail freight still hampered bymajor problems
• Bottlenecks with regard to infrastructure standard (trainlength, axle-load, speed, etc)
• Long and unpredictable waiting times at border stations• Insufficient harmonization of operational rules• Lack of exchange of advance traffic management
information across borders• Uncoordinated and inflexible resource planning (e.g.
locomotives, drivers)• Insufficient priority for international freight trains• Lack of efficient intermodal terminals and last-mile
infrastructure
Consequences of current problems
Success factors for rail freight and RFCsin South-East Europe:
