The European Commission announced a 12 weeks public consultation for an evaluation of Regulation (EU) 913/2010 concerning a European rail network for competitive freight. The consultation period is 27 May 2016 – 21 August 2016.
Regulation (EU) 913/2010 (RFC Regulation) concerning a European rail network for competitive freight entered into force in November 2010.
In the context of this evaluation, five criteria will be particularly addressed: the relevance of the Regulation (in relation to the issues which it aims to tackle), its effectiveness, its efficiency, its coherence (with EU objectives and co-existing EU transport legislation) and its EU-added value. The public consultation aims at covering these elements.
The consultation could particularly be of interest for rail passengers and for citizens interested in the development of railways or in sustainable mobility.
The consultation is also of particular interest for the organisations directly or indirectly participating in the Rail Freight Corridors and their development and for the broader railway and transport community, but also for local and regional authorities, environment associations, industry associations etc.
Due to the technicality of some concepts two questionnaires are provided:
– The first questionnaire is intended for a public without any particular knowledge of the Rail Freight Corridors and of Regulation (EU) 913/2010;
– The other questionnaire is intended for a public familiar with the Rail Freight Corridors or with the European railway market or the (rail) freight transport sector.
Respondents are free to choose which of the questionnaires they wish to answer.
Contributions may be submitted in any official EU language.
