Unravelling the new railway package
The European Commission is preparing the ground for a further Railway Package, scheduled for autumn 2012. The new package is expected to take up a number of highly important issues supporting the necessary expansion of the European rail network, including new measures in the key areas of unbundling, passenger market competition and regulation.
In reaction to these developments a second edition of the successful conference“Effectiveness of EU Rail policy”in 2010 in Brussels is called for. Following the Commission’s time line, Europoint will organise the international EU Rail Policy Conference 2012 on 28 November 2012 in Brussels, in cooperation with the Institute for Transport Studies at the University of Leeds (UK).
Key topics:
- Overview policy developments
- Vertical separation
- Passenger market liberalisation
- Ensuring effective regulation
The conference will be dedicated to a comprehensive and in-depth discussion of the package’s major issues with experts from government, industry and science. Questions that will be addressed include:“How effective has European rail policy been?” And “Does it guarantee fair competition?”
This conference will bring together latest research results with practical experience in order to reconsider these issues.
