UNIFE Vision 2020
•
The European rail supply industry is a profitable,
flexible and high-tech sector, actively contributing to
jobs, economic growth and the development of
sustainable transport in Europe and beyond.
– A Europe in which the high-speed train has become the standard
–
–
transport mode connecting cities…
A Europe that has succeeded in achieving a modal equilibrium in freight
traffic for the benefit of the environment, economy, industries and citizens
of Europe. …
A Europe in which local travel within and around large cities takes place
mainly by environmental friendly modes, using rail transport, and
integrating metro, light rail and heavy rail…
14
UNIFE Priorities 2006/2010
1.
Dialogue with EU Institutions to influence EU railway policies
and to promote the rail transport mode in a level playing field
2.
Co-ordination with National Rail Supply Industry Associations
to influence and support implementation of EU rail policy
3.
Achievement of railway interoperability & standardisation in
co-operation with the ERA, CEN, CENELEC, ETSI
4.
Development of Joint EU-Railway R&D Programmes &
Projects
5. Coordination and co-operation between UNIFE & CER, EIM,
UIC and UITP

transport
–
Liberalisation of international passenger by 2010
• 2. Proposal for a Regulation on the rights and obligations of international rail
passengers
• 3. Proposal for a Directive on the certification of train drivers

Towards certificates for locomotive drivers and train crew responsible for security
aspects valid throughout the Community.
• 4. Proposal concerning the quality of rail freight (frozen until end 2007)
–
Establishes a framework for compensation in rail freight (cases of loss, damages

Agenda
– 24 July 2006: EU Council of Ministers adopted a Common
Position
– 28 September: Council common position to be officially
submitted to the EP in Strasbourg

– 10 October: Exchange of views in EP (TRAN Committee)
– 21-22 November: Amendments discussed in EP (TRAN
Committee)
– 18-20 December: vote in TRAN Committee
– January 2007: Act to be adopted by EP Plenary in
Strasbourg

EU Railway Policy: White Paper
•
Mid Term Review EU Transport White Paper
•
The WP aims at revitalising the railways to shift the balance
between modes of transport by creating an internal market in
rail transport.
– Open Rail Market/Infrastructure Development/level playing
field for all modes of transport
•
The 2006 Mid-term review stresses the following points:
– A greater emphasis on ‘co-modality’
– Optimise each transport mode
– The modal shift has lost its central place in the EC’s strategy.
20
EU Railway Policy: White Paper
• Main actions from the White Paper:
• 2006: promote rail freight corridors; freight transport logistics
strategy; action plan for energy use in transport.
• 2007: Green paper on Urban transport; logistics action plan; rail
market monitoring including a scoreboard; Multiannual
Investment programme up to 2013 for TEN to be identified; first
call of 7th RTD Framework Programme
• 2009: ERTMS implementation on certain corridors
• September 2006: the EP TRAN Committee started an own-initiative
report on the subject (rapporteur Ms. Etelka Barsi-Pataky, EPPEuropean Democrats)
21
EU Railway Policy: TEN-T
TEN-T
Corridors
22
EU Railway Policy: TEN-T
•
TEN-T: Trans-European Network-Transport
• In total €225 Billion will be needed just for completing the 30 TEN-T priority
projects by 2020, and from this amount. €140 Billion are requested for the
period 2007-2013.
• At the same time the EU Transport White Paper declares that the level of
investment in transport infrastructure has fallen in all EU Member States to
less than 1 % GDP.
• € 8 Billion allocated budget for 2007-2013 for the TEN-T
• Recently the six EU Corridor Co-ordinators presented their reports to the
European Commission. The cost of only 3 of these projects in the period
2007-2013 is of around € 60 Billion, and the allowed TEN-T funding in only
these is 3 projects will empty the TEN-T budget 2007-2013.
23
EU Railway Policy: TEN-T
• UNIFE therefore calls upon the EU Transport Ministers to mobilise and
secure all sources of financing for these projects, following the
recommendations of the EU Corridor Co-ordinators:
concentration on cross-border sections, bottlenecks, interoperability
projects, providing a rate of support that give enough incentive for the project
to start and be completed in the planned schedule.
• The EU Financial Regulation for the TEN-T needs to be adopted by the
Council. UNIFE calls upon the EU Transport Ministers to support the
European Commission’s proposal and increase the co-financing rate for the
TEN-T.
24
EU Railway Policy: TEN-T
• 1. Rules governing the EU funding for Trans-European Transport and
Energy Network projects are being revised: The percent of funding set by
the Commission raises debates:
–
–
–
EC proposes to rise the funding up to 20% for priority projects
EC proposes to co-finance 30% of priority cross-border transport network
sections
The level of maximum co-financing for setting up the European Rail Traffic
Management System (ERTMS) has been set at 50%
• Agenda
–
–
–
24 May 2006: EC adopted a revised proposal for the TEN financial regulation.
20 July 2006: EP Working Document on the EC proposal (rapporteur Mario
Mauro)
12 September 2006: 1st exchange of views at the EP (Budget Committee)
25
EU Railway Policy: TEN-T


The implementation of the Trans European Railway Network –
including ERTMS- are crucial for the further development of the
railways in Europe.
UNIFE therefore calls upon the EU Transport Ministers to
decide to implement ERTMS on the 6 main rail freight corridors
in Europe and make the necessary national funds available.
26
EU Railway Policy: ERTMS
• European Rail Traffic Management System
• The call for proposals is due to be issued in February next year with a
deadline for submitting applications by mid April.
• A mechanism will be introduced in order to ensure that all funds are not used
in the first year.
• The Commission underlined that the amount of 500 millions euro is
indicative and not "secured for ERTMS": this amount will only be granted if
projects of sufficient quality are submitted.
• If ERTMS does not demonstrate that it can deliver – due to the scarcity of
TEN funds - part of the amount will be re-routed towards other projects and
"use the money with high EU added value project"

EU Railway Funds
• July: UNIFE asked a consultancy to collect the figures related
to EU budget allocation to rail projects to have a clear overview
of the rail financial possibilities in the new EU MS – only these
countries can benefit of the Cohesion Fund
• Summer/Autumn: the allocation of these funds to 2006
• April: the EU financial perspectives for the 2007/2013 period
•
were agreed in Brussels
projects (including rail) is being negotiated, still not 100%
decided in some countries.
2007
• The implementation of the rail projects is the key priority.

Conclusion
•
•
•
•
The railway industry is a modern and high potential
industry capable of meeting the mobility challenges of
the 21st Century !
Quote, Louis Armand, UIC President 1956:
“Railways can become the transport mode of the
21st Century if it survives the 20th Century” and they
did.
UNIFE is available to support it’s members on this
mission into the 21 Century:
• One Team
• One Mission
• One Objective
“Develop railways as a modern,
efficient, affordable and essential part of
the global transport system“
