THE Community of European Railway and Infrastructure Companies (CER) agreed a new policy containing five commitments to develop rail transport in the next five years at its bi-annual general assembly in Brussels on February 21. CER will use the policy to engage with the new European Commissioners and members of the European Parliament that will take office later this year.
The five commitments for 2019-2024 are:
- continuing the digital transformation of processes and services
- stressing our customer orientation
- offering carbon-free rail operation in Europe by 2050
- looking for possible sources of funding beyond public funding which CER is still necessary, and
- looking beyond continental rail traffic to further strengthen Eurasian transport by implementing high-frequency rail connections between Europe and Asia.
