PURPOSE: to accelerate the integration of the European Rail freight market.

LEGISLATIVE ACT: Directive 2004/51/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Council Directive 91/440/EEC on the development of the Community's railways. (Corrigendum of the Regulation published in OJ L164 of 30 April 2004).

CONTENT: this Directive has been adopted as part of the second railway package which was agreed upon in conciliation. The Second Railway Package will help to accelerate the integration of the market by removing important obstacles to cross-border services. It will guarantee a high level of safety for railway operation and will contribute to reducing costs and facilitating operations through a greater harmonisation of technical standards in the railway sector.

This Directive extends infrastructure access rights to freight services within a Member State and open up the market more quickly. The international rail freight market will have to be completed by 2006. The agreed date for the complete opening of the rail freight markets, including cabotage, is 1st January 2007.

To recall, Council Directive 91/440/EEC of 29 July 1991 provides that licensed railway undertakings are granted rights of access to the trans-European Rail Freight Network and, at the latest from 2008, to the whole network for international rail freight services.

The extension of those access rights to international rail freight services on the whole network as from 1 January 2006 should lead to greater than expected gains in terms of modal shift and the development of international rail freight.

The extension of those access rights to all kinds of rail freight services as from 1 January 2007, in accordance with the principle of freedom to provide services, would improve the efficiency of the rail mode relative to other modes of transport. It would also facilitate sustainable transport between and within Member States, by encouraging competition and allowing entry of new capital and enterprises.

With regard to market-opening for international passenger transport services, the date of 2010 proposed by the Commission has to be considered as an objective allowing all operators to prepare in an appropriate manner. The Commission should study developments in traffic, safety, working conditions and the situation of operators and should produce, by 1 January 2006, a report on those developments accompanied, where appropriate, by fresh proposals providing a basis for the best possible conditions for the Member States' economies, for rail undertakings and their employees, and for rail users.

ENTRY INTO FORCE : 30/04/2004.

IMPLEMENTATION : 31/12/2005.

   EC - Legislative proposal
Details

PURPOSE : to establish a regulatory framework for an integrated European market in freight services.

PROPOSED ACT : Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council.

CONTEXT : This proposal is part of a package to revitalise the Community railway system by creating an integrated European railway system. The directive is linked to other proposals in this same package, in particular the proposal to establish a common regulatory framework for railway safety and the proposal on amending directives on interoperability of rail systems. It applies a gradual approach to harmonisation and the development of common principles, taking into account the great differences that exist between the Member States. The other measures in the package relate to safety, amendments of the directives on interoperability, and the establishment of a European Railway Agency.

CONTENT : The Commission recalls that the application of the principle of freedom to provide services implies rights of access to rail infrastructure for railway undertakings established and licensed in the EU. Directive 91/440 made a first step in this direction by establishing rights of access for international groupings and railway undertakings to operate international combined transport. Directive 2001/12 established access rights to the Trans-European Rail Freight Network and at latest from 2008 onwards to the whole European rail freight network for international services.

It is time to prepare the next step of market integration, the opening of domestic rail freight markets (i.e. regular domestic services by a foreign railway undertaking) including the possibility of cabotage (i.e. occasional domestic services while performing international services).

The Commission believes that opening the rail freight markets will unleash the competition that is necessary to provide market actors with the necessary incentives to become more efficient and more competitive, as well as to do business closer to the customer. It should attract new capital and enterprises, stimulate the development of new services responding to the requirements of the customers and to improve the financial situation of the railway undertakings.

Hence, the current proposal stipulates that all railway undertakings established and licensed in the European Union will be granted access to the railway network for domestic and international rail freight services from the date of implementation of this Directive onward. The concept of limiting access for international rail freight services to the Trans-European Rail Freight Network (TERFN) that was in any case only a transitory arrangement until 2008 at the latest will be repealed. Therefore, this proposal deletes all references to the TERFN.

The provisions in Directive 91/440 as amended by Directive 2001/12 that relate to railway safety are deleted in this proposed amendment to avoid any overlap with the proposed directive on railway safety.

PROPOSED ACT : Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council. CONTEXT : This proposal is part of a package to revitalise the Community railway system by creating an integrated European railway system. The directive is linked to other proposals in this same package, in particular the proposal to establish a common regulatory framework for railway safety and the proposal on amending directives on interoperability of rail systems. It applies a gradual approach to harmonisation and the development of common principles, taking into account the great differences that exist between the Member States. The other measures in the package relate to safety, amendments of the directives on interoperability, and the establishment of a European Railway Agency. CONTENT : The Commission recalls that the application of the principle of freedom to provide services implies rights of access to rail infrastructure for railway undertakings established and licensed in the EU. Directive 91/440 made a first step in this direction by establishing rights of access for international groupings and railway undertakings to operate international combined transport. Directive 2001/12 established access rights to the Trans-European Rail Freight Network and at latest from 2008 onwards to the whole European rail freight network for international services. It is time to prepare the next step of market integration, the opening of domestic rail freight markets (i.e. regular domestic services by a foreign railway undertaking) including the possibility of cabotage (i.e. occasional domestic services while performing international services). The Commission believes that opening the rail freight markets will unleash the competition that is necessary to provide market actors with the necessary incentives to become more efficient and more competitive, as well as to do business closer to the customer. It should attract new capital and enterprises, stimulate the development of new services responding to the requirements of the customers and to improve the financial situation of the railway undertakings. Hence, the current proposal stipulates that all railway undertakings established and licensed in the European Union will be granted access to the railway network for domestic and international rail freight services from the date of implementation of this Directive onward. The concept of limiting access for international rail freight services to the Trans-European Rail Freight Network (TERFN) that was in any case only a transitory arrangement until 2008 at the latest will be repealed. Therefore, this proposal deletes all references to the TERFN. The provisions in Directive 91/440 as amended by Directive 2001/12 that relate to railway safety are deleted in this proposed amendment to avoid any overlap with the proposed directive on railway safety. type: Legislative proposal body: EC

PROPOSED ACT : Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council. CONTEXT : This proposal is part of a package to revitalise the Community railway system by creating an integrated European railway system. The directive is linked to other proposals in this same package, in particular the proposal to establish a common regulatory framework for railway safety and the proposal on amending directives on interoperability of rail systems. It applies a gradual approach to harmonisation and the development of common principles, taking into account the great differences that exist between the Member States. The other measures in the package relate to safety, amendments of the directives on interoperability, and the establishment of a European Railway Agency. CONTENT : The Commission recalls that the application of the principle of freedom to provide services implies rights of access to rail infrastructure for railway undertakings established and licensed in the EU. Directive 91/440 made a first step in this direction by establishing rights of access for international groupings and railway undertakings to operate international combined transport. Directive 2001/12 established access rights to the Trans-European Rail Freight Network and at latest from 2008 onwards to the whole European rail freight network for international services. It is time to prepare the next step of market integration, the opening of domestic rail freight markets (i.e. regular domestic services by a foreign railway undertaking) including the possibility of cabotage (i.e. occasional domestic services while performing international services). The Commission believes that opening the rail freight markets will unleash the competition that is necessary to provide market actors with the necessary incentives to become more efficient and more competitive, as well as to do business closer to the customer. It should attract new capital and enterprises, stimulate the development of new services responding to the requirements of the customers and to improve the financial situation of the railway undertakings. Hence, the current proposal stipulates that all railway undertakings established and licensed in the European Union will be granted access to the railway network for domestic and international rail freight services from the date of implementation of this Directive onward. The concept of limiting access for international rail freight services to the Trans-European Rail Freight Network (TERFN) that was in any case only a transitory arrangement until 2008 at the latest will be repealed. Therefore, this proposal deletes all references to the TERFN. The provisions in Directive 91/440 as amended by Directive 2001/12 that relate to railway safety are deleted in this proposed amendment to avoid any overlap with the proposed directive on railway safety.

  • date: 2004-04-30T00:00:00 type: Final act published in Official Journal summary: PURPOSE: to accelerate the integration of the European Rail freight market. LEGISLATIVE ACT: Directive 2004/51/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Council Directive 91/440/EEC on the development of the Community's railways. (Corrigendum of the Regulation published in OJ L164 of 30 April 2004). CONTENT: this Directive has been adopted as part of the second railway package which was agreed upon in conciliation. The Second Railway Package will help to accelerate the integration of the market by removing important obstacles to cross-border services. It will guarantee a high level of safety for railway operation and will contribute to reducing costs and facilitating operations through a greater harmonisation of technical standards in the railway sector. This Directive extends infrastructure access rights to freight services within a Member State and open up the market more quickly. The international rail freight market will have to be completed by 2006. The agreed date for the complete opening of the rail freight markets, including cabotage, is 1st January 2007. To recall, Council Directive 91/440/EEC of 29 July 1991 provides that licensed railway undertakings are granted rights of access to the trans-European Rail Freight Network and, at the latest from 2008, to the whole network for international rail freight services. The extension of those access rights to international rail freight services on the whole network as from 1 January 2006 should lead to greater than expected gains in terms of modal shift and the development of international rail freight. The extension of those access rights to all kinds of rail freight services as from 1 January 2007, in accordance with the principle of freedom to provide services, would improve the efficiency of the rail mode relative to other modes of transport. It would also facilitate sustainable transport between and within Member States, by encouraging competition and allowing entry of new capital and enterprises. With regard to market-opening for international passenger transport services, the date of 2010 proposed by the Commission has to be considered as an objective allowing all operators to prepare in an appropriate manner. The Commission should study developments in traffic, safety, working conditions and the situation of operators and should produce, by 1 January 2006, a report on those developments accompanied, where appropriate, by fresh proposals providing a basis for the best possible conditions for the Member States' economies, for rail undertakings and their employees, and for rail users. ENTRY INTO FORCE : 30/04/2004. IMPLEMENTATION : 31/12/2005. docs: title: Directive 2004/51 url: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/smartapi/cgi/sga_doc?smartapi!celexplus!prod!CELEXnumdoc&lg=EN&numdoc=32004L0051 title: OJ L 164 30.04.2004, p. 0164 url: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=OJ:L:2004:164:TOC title: Corrigendum to final act 32004L0051R(01) url: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/smartapi/cgi/sga_doc?smartapi!celexplus!prod!CELEXnumdoc&lg=EN&numdoc=32004L0051R(01) title: OJ L 164 30.04.2004, p. 0164-0172 url: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/JOHtml.do?uri=OJ:L:2004:164:SOM:EN:HTML
