Commission to present second railway package
On 23 January, the Commission will present a communication and five new legislative proposals to revitalise the European railway industry. This so-called "second railway package" includes proposals for opening up Member States' goods transport systems to competition, new measures on rail safety and interoperability, the creation of a European Rail Agency for safety and interoperability, and the EU's membership of the Intergovernmental Organisation for International Carriage by rail (OTIF).
