(5a) The year 2021 is an important year for the Union rail policy. It will be the first full year where the rules agreed under the Fourth Railway Package will be implemented throughout the EU, namely on the opening of the market of domestic passenger services and on reducing costs and administrative burden for railway undertakings operating across the EU. Public interest in railways is growing in many Member States. 2021 should therefore be considered the right time to implement this initiative.

(7) While the share of passenger rail in the Union land transport has only slightly increased since 2007, the share of freight has decreased. Many obstacles remain to achieve a true Single European Rail Area, including in respect of the need to minimise noise. Overcoming these obstacles together with cost reduction and accelerated innovation will allow rail to realise its full potential. Rail therefore needs a further boost to become more attractive to travellers and businesses alike.
